Brief History

UNKRIP was set up by the GKE, under the governance of the Eka Sinta Christian Higher Education Foundation, on 18 May 1987.[3] The university was formally recognized by the Level I Governor of Central Kalimantan, Mr Gatot Amrih, S.H. on 4 September 1987; that date has since been considered the anniversary of UNKRIP.[4] It was the initiative of Christian members of the community who wanted to strengthen science and technology education as an aid to community development, and decided to set up a higher education institution covering not only Theology but also several scientific disciplines. With the support of the Central Kalimantan Regional Government, the GKE through the Eka Sinta Education Foundation established a private university in Palangka Raya which went on to be named the Christian University of Palangka Raya (Universitas Kristen Palangkaraya), with the motto "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7).[5]
