STUDENT'S SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION |
|
Location of the university in socio-economically backward area dominated by tribal population makes it more accountable to students’ support and progression. Right from the beginning, the students are guided through a reader-friendly Information Bulletin containing detailed information about general and academic administration, available courses, eligibility criteria, prescribed fees, hostel facilities, scholarships and free ships, sports facilities, co-curricular infra-structure and an academic calendar. Liberal financial support through social welfare schemes of state and central agencies, merit scholarships, adequate hostel accommodation and academic environment conducive to learning has helped in increasing number of students joining university and maintaining the drop-out rate significantly low. Establishment of Remedial Coaching Centre by UGC has augmented our efforts in retaining students from underprivileged society for their upward progression. University has created very strong units of NCC in Army, Naval and Air Wings which are not only involved in social services but are also helping in national integration. Nine units of NSS in different faculties are playing meaningful role in social development, community service and health awareness programmes. “SAMVET”, an annual inter-college cultural event of the university provides a platform for showcasing the creativity and talent among the students. University publishes “SIKHAR’ and ‘UNMESH’ to highlight students’ achievements and literacy prowess. University Sports Board and Yoga Centre are playing pivotal role in overall personality development of students. |
