JAMMU, May 20: Creating quality circles amongst faculty members to discuss the research, publications and other academic activities will help the young faculty to emulate those who are doing quality work and thus enrich their research area and thereafter this shall also boost their morale.
This was stated by Vice-Chancellor Jammu University Prof RD Sharma while holding interaction with the faculty members of various teaching departments of the University.
VC s called upon the faculty to focus on getting research projects which will help in their growth and inspire students and scholars.
He stressed that each department should apply to UGC SAP DBT, DST, MoEF, GBPIHED, CSIR, ICCR, etc for grants under various programs. He advised that faculty members from all departments should send at least one research project for seeking funding.
VC said the research and publications done must be shared with the different stake holders. Student is the true shadow of the guide. It also need to be analysed why after short period of time students/Scholars starts protesting and even after remaining away from classes manage to qualify examinations. This is the true reflection on the faculty that quality of syllabi/Course curriculum have not be revised/updated. The teachers should prepare model papers.
While replying to the query of capping by UGC, VC was of the view that faculty themselves is responsible for forcing UGC to come up with the method of capping as in the past there were lot many cases where faculty were bit casual about their teaching practice thus UGC deliberated and thought the process of Capping need to be installed in the University system to regulate the teaching practice. VC called upon faculty members to raise the standard of the institution, the way IIMs and IITs have done.
Regarding stagnation Prof Sharma said that the authorities understand the pain of stagnation and at various concerned quarters the issue has been raised in due course of time. The matter will be resolved in the best interest of everyone.
