Institute of Advance Studies in Education Deemed University of Gandhi Vidya Mandir, Sardarshahr, Rajasthan.

Introduction

IASE Deemed University is a unit of the non-profit charitable organization registered in the name of Gandhi Vidya Mandir (GVM). Gandhi Vidya Mandir is a very old and reputed philanthropic society working for the upliftment of the downtrodden and the deprived populace of the desert region where education is yet to spread. It had had blessings of the great leaders like Acharya Vinoba Bhave, Dr Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel and the like. It had started a Teachers’ Training College, among many other institutions for the development and progress of the desert area.

The Teachers’ Training College progressed, expanded and became an Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, and subsequently was granted the status of the Deemed University by a Govt. of India notification no. F/9/29/2002-U.3 dated 25th June 2002, and the UGC notification no. F6-25/2001 (cpp.i) of 17th July 2002, under Sec. 3 of the UGC Act as “Institute of Advanced Studies in Education of Gandhi Vidya Mandir, Sardarshahr”.

Under the said Act, the University is empowered to confer degree, diploma and certificate courses duly approved by its statutory bodies and as per list specified and approved by the UGC. Thus it gradually diversified its courses to include emerging areas such as Management, Paramedical, Technology, Biotechnology etc in the context of rural and national development.

The IASE Deemed University of GVM, in pursuance of its aims and objects of reaching education of different streams to unreached in nook and corner of the country, mounted a variety of courses through regular and distance mode at a very small fee to enable the deprived section to avail of higher education. It must be made clear that whatever surplus is obtained through Distance mode is deployed for increasing/enhancing the infrastructure and staff for on campus and distance programmes with the underpinning that there is no profit involved to either the University or its parent body, namely the GVM. It must be made clear that the GVM has made available its buildings, land measuring 100 acres out of 1200 acres, and other infrastructure to the IASE Deemed University. The IASE (D) University is an Ns EN ISO 9001: 2000 certified organization.

THE ROOTS

The Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) Deemed University has taken its present form after a sustained toil of more than five decades. Its sponsoring society, GVM, had come into existence in 1950. It was conceptualized as a rural University. Its foundation stone was laid by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India. The GVM is a conglomerate of various public welfare and educational institutions including IASE (D) University.

The GVM was a creation of the late Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar, who after embracing ‘sanyas’ came to be known as Swami Shri Ramsharanji. He was a

Page 24

man of vision and dedication, and an embodiment of universal humanism. He donated his entire wealth for the cause of education and upliftment of the downtrodden. Inspired by the Gandhian ideals and ethics, he became a steadfast exponent of Ahimsa, Sarvodaya and Sarva-Dharma Sadbhav. His emphasis on value education and Swavlamba is reflected in IASE (D) University’s systems, courses and curricula.

Wedded to the Gandhian ideology, GVM has taken up the task of providing quality education from pre-primary to doctoral level even to the students belonging to the most deprived sections of society at affordable cost.

The activities of GVM are quite extensive. Apart from three senior secondary schools and a number of other on-campus programmes, GVM is running 46 centres of basic literacy for rural boys and girls in the age group of 6-14 years, benefiting over 2,000 students and over 10,000 boys and girls during the last two decades, through 100 village centres. In short, GVM’s outreach programmes in rural areas are quite innovative and beneficial, especially to the socially, financially and geographically disadvantaged segments.

In fact, GVM is the nucleus – a central organization-around which a cluster of schools, rural centres, out-reach programmes, etc. have flourished during the last 50 years. The studies in higher education started firstly in 1953, through Basic Teachers’ Training College, offering TTC course, as it existed then. In 1954, the course was replaced by Basic STC. The degree courses started in 1956 and post-graduate in 1958. Research (Ph.D) programme commenced in 1968. The ‘Institute of Advanced Studies in Education’ came into being under the centrally sponsored Scheme of Education in 1993. It was formally recognized as ‘Deemed to be University’ by the Government of India and the UGC, in 2002. IASE is one of the premier Institutes of education in the country today.

The IASE (D) University is the core constituent of GVM, entrusted with the higher education portfolio providing all requisite autonomy and support.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE IASE DEEMED UNIVERSITY:

With the overall aims and objectives of the parent body, GVM, the need for expanding system of Higher Education in rural and remote areas using the modern sophisticated technology in the educational delivery as also achieving a pragmatic blend of traditional and cultural ethos, the IASE (D) University aims at achieving the following:-

- Contributing to Rural development through education, health and rural socio economy.

- Contributing to National development by spreading the higher education in remote desert areas of the state and also in nook and corner of the country, thereby accelerating the process of modernization and nation building.

C. CRITERIA-WISE INPUTS CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS 1.1 Curriculum Design and Development 1.1.1 How are the institutional vision and mission reflected in the

academic programmes of the University? Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) Sardarshahr was declared as deemed university vide notification dated 25.6.2002. Its sponsoring society Gandhi Vdiya Mandir (GVM) was founded in 1950 as a sequel to its founder's dedication to the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi whose assassination spurred a revolution in his heart and soul. His name was Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar. Mr. Dugar's idol was Mahatma Gandhi because of his faith in God, secular approach and 'Vishwa Bandhutwa'. Shri Dugar went to Wardha and consulted Acharya Vinoba Bhave and other Gandhians like Kaka Kalelkar, Kishorlal Mashruwala, Krishnadas Jaju, Shriman Narayan Agarwal and Madalsa Ben. For establishing the institution, some of them proposed Delhi, some Wardha, some Jaipur, and so on. Finally they looked to Vinobaji who said 'Spread Light Where It Is The Darkest, Spread Education Were Illiteracy Is The Highest'; the reference was obvious - Kanhaiyalal’s home town of Sardarshahr, in the starkest desert region of Rajasthan. Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar, who, was a man of vision and dedication, an embodiment of universal humanism. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhiji, he became an exponent of non-violence and universal brotherhood. He dedicated his life to the cause of education and upliftment of the downtrodden. After embracing ‘Sanyas’, he came to be known as Swami Shri Ramsharanji. A project was conceptualized there and the name of Gandhi Vidya Mandir was decided. Devised as India 's first Rural University , its foundation stone was laid in 1955, by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India. Swamiji, the Founder’s Vision: 1] To create future citizens with value based education adding to their academic and overall personality growth. Inspired by the Gandhian ideals our values are focused on Ahimsa, Sarvodaya and Sarva-dharma Sadbhav. These values are reflected in the University’s system and course syllabus, 2] Rural development where barriers are broken, challenges overcome to develop rural surroundings for a healthy and holistic lifestyle, 3] Rural Democratic awareness, 4] Community education. GVM’s higher education programmes started in 1953 through Basic Teachers’ Training College, offering the TTC course, as it existed then. In 1954, the course was replaced by Basic STC. Degree courses started in 1956, postgraduate studies in 1958, and research (Ph.D.) programmes in 1968. The University is quite conscious of legacy of Gandhi Vidya Mandir. GVM whose varied services include social and rural welfare, disaster relief, non-

Page 27

formal education, vocational training in villages, among others, need to be strengthened further as such activities inculcate a sense of social responsibility and altruism into the minds of students—the nation’s future. Therefore, it is imperative that IASE surge ahead hand-in-hand with GVM in furthering its societal role. The existing outreach activities are set to double itself in the next decade for the benefit of disadvantaged and rural masses. It is our conviction that a man without vision is like a ship without a ruder. There is a need to build citizens who can not only subsist but become valuable human beings, for themselves, their families and society. Higher education needs to come to terms with this over arching national and global reality. It should be able to define its content, extent and methodologies from time to time, which are basic ingredients for the future growth of higher education. The educational system should not be divorced from the socio-economic and cultural fabric of the country. The importance of ethics and values in a student cannot be disregarded. In order to meet the manifold changes and challenges in the emotional maladies confronting society at large, the IASE Deemed University consciously ingrains humanistic values into students at every step. The existing syllabi and curriculum are carefully crafted in consonance with the guidelines of UGC and other Statutory Bodies like NCTE, AICTE among others. The structuring, restructuring and constant vigil over the curriculum and its effective implementation is undertaken at IASE, making higher education meaningful, socially relevant and career-oriented. In coming years, the University has a vision to start Vocational programmes (Skill development) in its lab schools as well as in the University at the undergraduate/post graduate level. 1.1.2 Does the University follow a systematic process in the design and

development of the curriculum? If yes, give details of the process (need assessment, feedback, etc.).

The deemed university has a well defined curriculum development process. Initially courses were developed through consultative process with other institutions /universities of the region. The curriculum renewal is a regular activity through assessment of needs of emerging area identified by holding seminars and workshops. Following steps are followed by all the faculties/departments of the University to design and revise the curricula:

• The faculty members discuss need and design of curriculum in the departmental meeting every year.

• At departmental level curricula of various universities, feedbacks of stakeholders are put in a matrix.

• The course content is developed through discussion on various aspects of the course, inputs from stakeholders and taking into account prospective needs.

Page 28

• The curriculum is designed by the faculty members considering the guidelines and model curriculum of UGC, AICTE, NCTE and other leading institutions.

• The curriculum is discussed in the Board of Studies (BoS) meeting thoroughly and revised and then the recommendations of Board of Studies (BoS) are placed before Academic Council. The Academic Council after thorough examination sends its recommendation to Board of Management (BoM) for approval.

• We involve experts in various field of specialization from BOS of other universities. Ours is the first university to submit a 2 year program for the B.Ed course to NCTE. Other universities are now adopting approximately 50 % from the syllabus we have submitted.

• The M.A. in History course includes 30 % content on local history. • Faculty from the Education department have created subject material

Which is being published in the form of handbooks for Teachers. Process for introduction of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) has been started and is being implemented from next academic session. 1.1.3 How are the following aspects ensured through curriculum design

and development? • Employability • Innovation • Research

Technology is being used effectively for improving access, equity and quality of higher education.

• Research Most of the UG and PG curricula involve the component of research through regular practical and field work. All UG level professional courses are having final semester project works which are carried out under supervision of some faculty member. Further, research based dissertations are an integral part of some of our PG programs. In many programs students are also exposed to minor and major projects and seminar/conference/workshop presentation.

better academic and administrative functioning of the University. 1. The Mentor-Mentee System The purpose of this practice is to foster a close rapport between the students and the faculty, to provide guidance to students on all academic matters besides personal counseling and to enhance the potentialities of the students. The main focus of mentorship is to develop the all-round personality of the students and to make them more professionally competent and responsible citizens by the time they leave the thresholds of the University. Each faculty member functions as a counselor for a group of students during the entire period of their study in the University. The teachers assist the students to cope with the curriculum, understand the University’s expectations of its students, participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, solve personal issues, as well as groom their skills and aid in personality development. In addition to the mentor, students may also seek counsel from other faculty members. Evidence of Success This practice has led to a better sense of belonging and purpose for the students as evidenced by the declining trend of absenteeism, and a perceivable proactive involvement in the academic and other activities in the department. For the teachers this has provided feedback and introspective review of academic transactions. 2. Department wise Review Meetings The goal of this practice is to formulate policies/design strategies to strengthen the functioning of the departments of study in various dimensions. The issues addressed in the meetings vary depending on their current relevance. For example at the beginning of the academic year, assessment of enrolments in the various programmes of study, anti-ragging measures, improvement of infrastructural facilities in departments and hostels are given priority. Towards the close of an academic year, stock taking is done on various academic parameters and the way forward for the ensuing academic year is planned. Several issues are addressed on a regular basis including lesson plan, quality assurance in teaching, students’ performance, examination reforms, research,

Page 148

extension activities, energy conservation measures, gender sensitisation, and general maintenance of the departments and surroundings. Evidence of Success The exercise has provided scope for introspection and need for improvement. As a result of these meetings, all faculty members prepare lecture plans which have improved the quality of teaching and time management. More teachers have applied for projects. Any other information regarding Innovations and Best Practices which

the University would like to include. Decentralized Decision making by constituting Committees The aim of this practice is to create a more inclusive ambience by decentralization and to groom leadership at various levels. Various committees have been constituted to address different issues in the University including exam reforms, health service, Swachha Bharat, security, projects, purchase, security, anti-ragging, sexual harassment, garden, book evaluation, hygiene and sanitation to name a few. Evidence of Success This practice has led to more emotional investment on the job, sharing of responsibility, better governance and quicker redressal and decision making.
