At a meeting of principals, Gurmeet Singh highlights need for improving teaching
Pondicherry University Vice-Chancellor Gurmeet Singh has directed the affiliated colleges to implement 10% reservation for the economically weaker sections (EWS) in a phased manner.
Addressing the principals of about 65 colleges affiliated to Pondicherry University, who attended the meeting hosted by the College Development Council of the University, Prof. Singh said at present the reservation implemented by Pondicherry University only enabled students from the Union Territory of Pondicherry in getting admission to the extent of 25% to 30% in the university.
He stressed on the need to improve the quality of teaching at the undergraduate level and for collaborative efforts of all colleges on delivering quality education.
He said only a small percentage of students from Puducherry were passing the national-level admission test and finding a place in the first merit list of the reputed universities. And, although the city had emerged as an education hub, a good number of parents were still sending their wards to other cities for higher studies for want of quality education, he said.
Prof. Singh advocated the need for selection of qualified faculty members based on AICTE/UGC/NCTE norms. During the deliberations, colleges were asked to conduct governing body meetings with university nominees.
Good facilities
Experts are nominated to help the colleges to benchmark procedures followed in other reputed universities. Institutions should keep the websites updated, provide wi-fi facilities and digital libraries apart from offering canteen, sports grounds and facilities exclusively for persons with disabilities.
The Vice-Chancellor urged all colleges to meet the MHRD/UGC requirements regarding constitution of anti-ragging committee, students grievance redress mechanism, adoption of villages and rainwater harvesting structures.
