mission of advancement of teaching and research. Research priorities and academic excellence are the

prime objectives with high priorities towards the solutions of problems and needs of the rural people of

the region.

The Department of Science & Technology (DST) Government of India sanctioned more than Rupees 4

crore under DST FIST programme for six science departments to augment research facilities. DST-

PURSE scheme also provided research grant of Rupees 9 crore to the University for a period of three

years based on scientific publications in Science Citation Indexed Journals through SCOPUS Database.

SAP has also been provided to five departments with a fund of Rupees 1.5 crore.

The University introduced Semester System in PG courses along with extension and outreach

activities.Various Centres have been created like Women’s Study Centre,Bioinformatics Centre,ENVIS

Centre to incorporate more extensive activities for research and development.

Message from Vice-Chancellor

Prof. (Dr.) Rattan Lal Hangloo

Among all things knowledge only, they say, is a supreme treasure because it

cannot be stolen, it is priceless and always imperishable

The district of Nadia, where University of Kalyani is situated, was once acclaimed as the Oxford

of Orient. Following the traditions of centuries old academic practices of Nabadwip, University

of Kalyani is determined to impart quality education to its students for their full blooming.

Established in the year 1960s in the backdrop of semi rural industrial belt of West Bengal, till

date the University is upholding the cause of spreading higher education among some of the

most backward district of West Bengal. The University promotes Scientific Researches as well

as Artistic pursuits; encourages commerce, managerial and technological courses along with

literature, education and Social Science disciplines. Besides imparting formal education to the

regular students, the University communicates learning aids among the neo-literates and also

enables students through open distance learning system.

The progress of a nation rests on the progress in education. University of Kalyani acts as

awakener and inspirer. We hope that education which our students receive here will

automatically follow them like the treasure of its possessor. We provide them teaching of

international standard and some of the stalwarts in their own field are members of our faculty.

As the mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there, the

University encourages indoor and outdoor sports activities and organizes regular social service

programmes through NSS. We assure, our students do not receive education here but they

achieve it.

Quality Assurance

A Self Retrospection

In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council

(NAAC) for performance evaluation, assessment, accreditation and quality up-gradation of

institutions of higher education, the University of Kalyani has established Internal Quality

Assurance Cell (IQAC). The goal of the IQAC is to make quality, both academic and

administrative, the defining element of higher education through combination of self and

external quality evaluations, promotion and sustenance initiatives to stimulate academic

environment of teaching-learning and research for fostering global competence. The prime

objective is to promote collaboration with global institutions for undertaking quality related

research studies, consultancy and training programmes. The University has attained many of

these objectives either fully or partially in the last few years. Major initiatives have been taken to

initiate modern teaching-learning aids, upgrading the infrastructure and facilities and

environments both in departments and administrations. Incorporation of good communication

facilities by introducing bus services between campus and Railway station. Some of the

departments including few places of the administration have already been made WiFi

enabled.There are plan for installation of more such facilitiesin near future . Good antivirus has

been installed in all nodes of the campus. The university has also planned for integration of

plagiarism check software which will be integrated soon into the Campus LAN.

The main objective was to prepare Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) in such a way

that it will be open and participatory so that the transparent self-appraisal framework gives

visibility to the numerous tasks performed by each of us in teaching, research, administrative

sphere, etc. The self-appraisal framework comprehensively identifies and articulates the key

performance areas of faculty. The APR is conceptualized in such a way so that it helps teaching

departments and research centres to reflect their work mandatorily and honestly. Accordingly it

provides each teacher a chance to benchmark one’s own work (as per the UGC promotional

avenues) and the plan future more realistically in structured appraisal formats. It also helps to

create a conducive environment for teaching at UG & PG levels, guiding and supervising

research scholars at M. Phil and Ph. D levels, researches carried out internally and supported by

externally funded projects, publication of research papers and books at national and international arena,

participation in national and international conferences/seminars, participation in faculty development

programmes and carrying out institutional responsibilities. The AQR has been prepared following

guidelines of internal quality assurance. The reports reflects the outputs based on three attributes like

what we have planned in the previous year, what we could achieve in 2013-14 and what is the plan for

2014-15. The achievements made in terms of awards received by the students, scholars and faculty

members, publication of research articles, receipt of Research Project etc.

Editorial


The infrastructure developed out of different research grants, plan and non plan grant have been

reflected in the report. Feedback of the stake holder have also been analyzed and presented in

terms of their level of satisfaction. Different outreached program, sports activities, national

service schemes, students’ welfare activities have also been reflected in the AQAR 2013-2014.

On behalf of IQAC, I express my sincere gratitude to Prof. (Dr.) Rattan Lal Hangloo, Hon’ble

Vice Chancellor, University of Kalyani for his constant guidance which has helped us to

accomplish this task in a hassle free manner. We are also thankful to Hon’ble Deans of Faculties

for their constant support in acquiring information from departments/centers and constant

encouragement to prepare a good and comprehensive report. My sincere thanks to the

Development Officer, Registrar, Controller of Examination, Inspector of Colleges, DSW, all

Heads of departments and Centres for their constant support in providing information in a

comprehensive way.

This is the first time in the history of the University that the IQAC is preparing the Annual

Quality Appraisal Report in a comprehensive manner where the information which reflects our

achievement, limitations and future plan. I would like to thank all members of IQAC for their

constant support . I would like to thank all members of the API subcommittee for their untiring

efforts to clear all files related to CAS of faculty members within a very short span of time. My

heartiest thanks to my Editorial Team, External, Internal Committee members and officials of

IQAC and my research scholars who worked tirelessly in preparing this report. The success of

this effort will be a reality if all concerned realize the shortcomings of the proceedings and act

accordingly to remove the same in future so that the goal of the university will be achieved.

26th Convocation, University of Kalyani Address by Professor Sri Jogen Chowdhury

Guest in Chief

Memento offered by the Honourable Chancellor to Jogen Choudhury

Title: Higher Education in India and the Cross Road Ahead

His Excellency Shri M. K. Narayanan, Governor of West Bengal and Hon'ble Chancellor of the

University, Prof. Dilipkumar Mohanta, Vice Chancellor, University of Kalyani, Professor Dr. P

V A. Mohandas, Professor Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri and Professor Manoj Mitra - Honoured

recipients of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) and Doctor of Literature (Honoris Causa)

degrees respectively.

Distinguished members of The Court and The Executive Council of this University, Deans and

Members of Faculties, Research Scholars, Distinguished guests, Dear Graduating students,

Ladies and Gentlemen.

I feel extremely honoured and profusely privileged to address the 26th Convocation of the

University of Kalyani. Let me begin by thanking the University for inviting me as Chief Guest

on this occasion and allowing me to share my concerns with this esteemed assembly.

The Annual Convocation is a special occasion for assuring the new graduates of our best wishes,

and of expressing the hope that in all stations of their lives they will discharge their duties so as

to bring glory to their 'alma mater'.

This University, I have learnt, has recently traversed half a century catering to the needs of

students most of whom come from the rural and backward areas, and belong largely to the


9

backward classes of our society. My congratulations for the relentless efforts of the University

towards fulfilling this end.

I have further been informed that the three well designed dimensions of Higher Education

determined by UGC over the years and learnt through experience and interaction, viz, Teaching,

Research and Extension have been taken care of, and I am sure that you will find scope for

improvement in each of these segments in the future.

There are other considerations through which one can also approach and estimate the problems

'of Higher Education in our country. They are Access, Equity and Quality.

For any concept to be developed, for any idea to be elaborated, some pre suppositions or

assumptions need to be made. So, friends, let me also make some very preliminary assumptions.

There is no denying the fact that since independence India has marched significantly forward in

so far as economic and technological developments are concerned.

There is evidence that tendency among the Indian Youths to vie for technical education has

increased manifold. However, we must remember, though it seems to be a sign of progress and

development, it would not be so in the long run unless such technological developments really

support and positively affect the quality of life of our people.

History of Higher Education in modern India took a serious turn with Independence. During the

preceding two hundred years of colonialism only those few who served the interest of foreign

rulers received education.

The planned development of Higher Education began with the establishment of UGC in 1953,

and has progressed through the framing of a National policy on Education in 1986, the 1992

Plan of Action, establishment of the National Knowledge Commission in 2005. In a nut shell

the Govt. policy on Higher Education as it has evolved during the last sixty years is based on

three broad components.

(a) Access (b) Equity (c) Quality

Role of Higher Education in India on one hand is an important pre-condition for the realization

of our endless potential for economic and technical progress and on the other; it is driven by the

aspirations of our youth to learn and to excel.

These assumptions are true for many countries of the world. But in a country like India with its

geographical vastness, diversity of customs and practices, and large population, these

assumptions are tremendous instruments by which one can understand and explain the

'Dynamics' of socio-economic-politico scenario. It is this 'Dynamics' which should be kept in

mind while one deliberates on different issues of Higher Education. However, we must redefine

the meaning of progress and development, since all scientific, technological and economic

development must finally create a society where people live ethically, peacefully and in

prosperity. Hence the education policy must guard the finer values of life and culture of this

country.

All of us know that the problems now being faced in the arena of Higher Education are many.

But there are some which are very common and known widely in the academic circles, whose


10

impact are intense and due to which the above stated 'Dynamics' is constantly changing. Along

with these some subsidiary problems have also crept in.

The primary problems are as follows:

1. Problems associated with quantity and quality, the ever elusive mile stone.

2. Problems of regulations.

3. Problems arising out of privatization.

4. Problems of adequate human resource.

5. Problems arising out of 'Exodus'.

The subsidiary problems can be categorized as follows:

1. Problems of inclusion.

2. Problems of adequate and competitive curricula.

3. Problems of evaluation and assessment.

4. Problems arising out of the impact of inadequate elementary and secondary

education on Higher Education.

5. Problems related with lower standard of research works in the field of Higher

Education.

I am not going to elaborate the above cited problems or issues in detail. Rather, being a former

teacher and a creative person myself, I am more concerned about certain problems which are

deeply affecting the academic activities of the campus in general. These problems are simple and

therefore often considered insignificant and usually not taken care of by the authorities. They are

as follows:

1. Lack of right type of buildings designed according to the requirement of a particular class

and its activities. Usually it is found that buildings are made haphazardly in an unplanned

manner having no interrelations and without having any aesthetic quality. Couple of

years back I had a chance to find a book on the design of school buildings of Singapore

when I was there on a visit. I was amazed to see its content and bought it instantly. I

came to know from it that there is an expert body in the government in Singapore to

design school buildings and campus since many years and each school is meticulously

and beautifully designed considering every aspect of its requirements. We, as far as we

know, do not really care a bit about it. In fact I feel sad to see that beautiful campus of

Calcutta University, originally planned by British planners, has been disturbed with new

buildings in its courtyard, filling all the required empty space with ugly constructions

having no relation with the decent architecture of the past. Why should we be so careless

about it?

2. Lack of campus discipline on the part of the students as well as teachers. Particularly the

present day growing indiscipline and unrest due to excess political infiltration is

undoubtedly harming the academic atmosphere of our campuses. Authorities must

address this ever growing menace and find out a solution to it.

3. Lack of necessary infrastructures as well as equipments in the class. It happens so

frequently that an institution has opened a new class but do not have all that is needed to


11

run the class activities in a proper manner. Finally it hampers the class activities and the

students suffer.

4. Urgent reform of the syllabus at all levels of education is essential to give total education

to the students combining science & technology with aesthetics and moral values. Our

aim should be to make the students complete human beings and not technologists or

scientists only. This has become more urgent in the present day when human values are

being eroded fast in our society.

5. While we talk about progress and development of our education, a fact, which disturbs

me is, while approximately 25 lakhs children take admission to primary classes each

year in West Bengal and only about 5 lakhs appear for the final Higher Secondary

Examination. Almost 80% of the students leave school before completing the Higher

Secondary Course. Probably out of all the students who finally get passed the Higher

Secondary examination only 3 to 4 lakhs go for higher education, which is only 12% to

16% of the whole aspiring young population of the state. Interestingly most of our

concern and plans are for them, which of course we cannot ignore. But what about the

80% dropouts? Being a member of the School syllabus Committee I mentioned this fact

to the authorities and also in an academic seminar about 2 years back. I think all of us in

the academic circle and in the government should take serious note of it and address to

this problem and must create an education system to give appropriate education to this

large part of our young population so that they become active participants in the social

growth and become successful citizens.

Friends, further in-depth and greater introspection will definitely reveal more problems. So I

wanted to stop here, but I still like to point out few more things relevant to our present day

education system.

Recent studies have clearly indicated that perhaps there might have been some inbuilt problems

in the conception of Higher Education in India. And they are deep rooted and non differentiable

from the system as such, otherwise why can't we explain the phenomenon that every year

innumerable graduates pass out from institutes of higher learning but a handful of them only get

job even though everyday new and new working fields are created and the employer does not

get the right person? I am sure there is a serious gap in the system. May be we should have

certain after degree job oriented short courses to train the aspiring students.

Another fact is, the study goes on to report that the graph of Academic research works

undertaken is going down ward. This is not at all desirable. Universities must look into this fact

and do what is needed.

Now let us talk about the problems of lack of competent human resources in the field of higher

education. We all know that a good number of Indian Teachers are engaged in different foreign

Universities whose teaching and research works are considered to be of

high' quality. We cannot bring them even if we wish. Set of rules fixed for teacher-ship in Indian

Universities pose a stumbling block. Besides the pay and allowances are also major

considerations.


12

One very big problem, my friends, I have not cited yet. Yes, that is the problem of globalization

of education. This has gradually changed the scenario of Higher Education in our country. But

here we must not forget that while science, technology and mathematics are global, the culture,

traditional values in our lives and the spirit of our nation called India are different. We might

participate and integrate with the global trend only for the sake of advance technological,

scientific or mathematical knowledge but we should be able to preserve our culture, our

traditional knowledge bases and its values.

Let us not forget that before independence no serious attempt was taken for the development of

higher education. What we have achieved during the six decades that followed after

independence is really praise worthy. Now we are at the cross road and a tremendous

opportunity is ahead of us. We can now shift towards knowledge economy which creates,

disseminates, and helps to build the country. Therefore now our orientation for higher education

need to be demand dependent, quality assured, and far sighted which should ensure not only the

employability of our students but their continued retention. We must look forward and to seek

for a time bound transformative vision for higher education with definite goals backed by a

strong implementation strategy. Past policies and practices have done their best, now they may

have run their time and so need to be changed.

To conclude, dear graduates, I urge upon you on the 150th Birth Centenary of Sir Asutosh

Mukhopadhyay, the great educationist & reformer, to set new standards of scholarship and

leadership. Dedicate yourselves to the cause of the Nation, humanity and peace retaining the

finer qualities and traditional values of our society. You had been indulgent to me for so long a

time for which I express my sincere gratitude once again.

Thank you.

Introduction of Choice Based Credit System

The University has introduced Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in all its Masters

Programmes for 2014-15 Academic Season CBCS already exists in various departments

under Engineering, Technology & Management Faculty as per AICTE guidelines. This is

one of the important steps of reforms taken up by the University. Decisions are left to the

respective departments. CBCS represents a much required shift in focus from teacher-

centric to learner centric education since the workload estimated is based on the

investment of tune in learning and not in teaching. Students select and choose the subject

of their preference as well as the areas of recent interest facilitating inter-disciplinary

mobility. The University has decided to adopt uniform course structure where at least four

courses in each semester are to be taught and total marks of each semester will be 400(16

credits) and that of total marks of the course will be 1600(64 credits). However the courses

accredited under AICTE will follow the rules of AICTE. Flexibility and liberty will be

given to all departments to choose and design the curriculum.

Student assessment will be done throughout the semester. In-semester evaluation for

each course will be 40% while end-semester evaluation will be for 60%.

Thalassaemia Awareness Camps, organize seminars on various socio-economical issues, NSS

provides all kinds of motivation and field for the students to strengthen their mental and

physical ability. The University encourages them and nistils a sense of self-confidence so that

they participate in adventure camps and In-land activities regularly.

NSS collaborates with various national institutions related to academics & sports to

organize events. The reports of these events are published in leading dailies and also

telecasted on Television Channels. These tie-ups help students to exchange their ideas on a

wider platform. Throughout the year NSS runs these activities with the help of efficient

trained Programme Officers. We always have up-to-date information about them. We update

our domain in University Website regularly in order to keep in touch with people. This is

Student Accommodation Facilities

Hostel life is considered as an informal education. The out-of-class experience in hostels,

provides an environment favorable for self-learning and maximises opportunities for social,

cultural and extra-curricular involvement. The personal development of students is also

nurtured and supported through living in a community environment and residents learn and

experiment with developing habits of mind and body that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

The challenge for hostels is to place an emphasis on promoting student learning through

integrating the hostel experiences and opportunities with their goals and priorities.

The University of Kalyani, since its inception in 1960, has been endeavoring to provide

quality hostel facilities to need and desirous students in tune with its social responsibilities

and obligations. Exponential increase in the number of students, particularly from remote and

far off places, seeking admission to various courses and programmes offered by the

University, warrants further expansion in the accommodation facilities.
