DEVELOPMENT
OF POST-GRADUATE CENTRES Affiliated Colleges
The
University has been continuously achieving progress during these 30 years, in
terms of introducing new subjects in the University College. For instance,
two new P.G. courses, in Hindi, and Tourism & Travel management were
introduced last year. New courses were started from the academic year: B.P.
Ed. and M.P. Ed in the department of Physical Education, while M.B.A. in
Health Administration, M. Ed in the department of Education and M.Sc. in
Medical Technology are jointly awarded by A.N.U. and N.T.R. University of
Health Sciences. Five year Integrated M.B.A., Programme in International
Finance is started. This University has also pioneered the introduction of
self-financed courses in the country, which is in conformity with the
thinking of the national education policy makers such as the University
Grants Commission. The University is making concerted efforts towards
resource mobilization on different fronts. The
policy of the University is to encourage the University College and the
affiliated colleges to introduce job-oriented courses at the Degree and
Post-Graduate levels. Academic autonomy was extended to four of the colleges
as per the directions of the University Grants Commission, New Delhi. The
University has ensured that, while there is a need for quantitative
improvement with the increasing demand for higher education, from the
community at large, the quality of education offered at various levels is
also maintained at a high level. The University has been striving to maintain
high academic standards in consonance with quantitative increase in the
number of students being enrolled every year. Teaching
and Research are the two eyes and twin goals of the faculty in the University
College. The research programmes carried out in the various Departments cover
both fundamental and applied areas. The academic Departments seek to find a
reasonable and useful balance between the world of knowledge and its use and
application in a more concrete and realizable form. The research programmes
and course content focus on these issues and attempt to find solutions, so
that feedback obtained by such an interaction could be used to bridge the gap
between learning and its utility value. The
Humanities and Social Sciences Departments in the Campus have been engaged in
the task of studying the many socio-economic problems. Besides general areas,
the research projects also cover a study of the problems of women, the
oppressed classes of the society (both social and economic) and the problems
of governance. The interaction between the funding agencies and their
beneficiaries and the managerial problems in industries form other research
pre-occupations of the University. The need for providing legal advice to the
needy is winning the attention of the researchers. The
Science Departments are engaged in carrying out work related to the growing
scientific knowledge in solving the problems of society, like the study of
pollution hazards and their prevention during development by isolating and
characterizing the active principles from both floral and microbial sources;
finding alternative energy sources, development of new varieties and hybrids
in chilies, computer applications and software development augmenting and
preserving fuel supplies and other bio-mass sources, defense research,
exploring non-conventional energy sources, aquaculture development, liquid
crystals preparation and study of their physical properties, microbiology and
psychopathology, etc., all of which have a bearing on the day-to-day problems
of society. Knowledge is thus not merely an end in itself but also a means to
serve the society which funds the educational institutions and this practical
side has not been ignored by the University. Emphasis on research, especially
with a strong socio-economic bias has also made the University initiate
schemes and projects of practical utility. |
