The International Institute of Pali, Sanskrit and Comparitive Philosophy, Gulbarga has been established by the Department of Human Resources, Government of India represented by the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, New Delhi and the Department of Higher Education, Government of Karnataka in association with the Siddhartha Vihar Trust.

The International Institute of Pali, Sanskrit and Comparitive Philosophy, Gulbarga is primarily a post graduate research institute conducting research activities in order to increase the intellectual focus on the ancient Pali language as a commitment to higher learning in the humanities and literary studies. The Institute aims to be at the forefront of research on the language, literature, history, archaeology, and other dimensions of the cultures of ancient India when Pali was a literary language along with Prakrit and Sanskrit. We believe that study of an ancient and extinct language is better treated as an interdisciplinary field that benefits from a variety of approaches and methods. Hence our work will span a wide range, including language and literature, linguistics, art, archaeology, philosophy, and history.
