Says Alagappa University V-C
Alagappa University has initiated steps to make degree certificates digitally available to students with the help of University Grants Commission’s National Academic Depository (NAD), Vice-Chancellor N. Rajendran said on Monday.
Inaugurating a one-day workshop on NAD here on Monday, he said once the digital certificates were uploaded and confirmed by NAD, it would immensely benefit the students, especially when they lose certificates during natural calamities.
When the certificates were lost irretrievably in floods and fire, the students could get the certificates from the NAD portal easily, he said.
The genuineness of certificates could be obtained within seconds just by a touch of a button.
The workshop had been organised by the digital education cell of the university for teachers and students of the University and its affiliated colleges.
“The university needs to move ahead and incorporate all needed technological reforms in the issue of certificates with the help of NAD,” Mr. Rajendran said.
Prasanth, Assistant Manager, National Security Depository Limited (NSDL), in his address, said the stakeholders - students, their institutions and NSDL - would have joint responsibilities in digitizing the certificates of students.
The Vice-Chancellor appreciated Alagappa University for being ahead in this endeavour.
As the NAD portal would assign a unique identity number to every individual student, they need not worry about the security of their certificates, Mr. Rajendran added.
K Uthayasuriyan, Controller of Examinations (in-charge), C. Baskaran, coordinator, digital education cell, and deputy Coordinators, R. Ramnath and N. Ramalingam, were among others present at the workshop.
