Therefore, the University of Vavuniya (UoV) motivates faculty members, other employees, and students to engage in the creation and dissemination of knowledge, including inventions, discoveries, and tangible properties arising from research conducted as a part of the educational process. These findings can be used to enlarge the economic capacity of the surrounding region and serve to improve the well-being of the nation.

UBL of University of Vavuniya is established on 1st October 2021 under the directive given by the University Grants Commission’s Commission Circular No. 10/2016, dated 25 July 2016
