VISION

2.0 Institutional Vision

• In the next twenty years every University graduate would have awareness,
understanding, skills and value orientation for a globalised knowledge society.
• Apart from being an institution to educate young citizens, the society would
expect this University would emerge as a source of knowledge and wisdom. A
University should thrive to generate new knowledge in technology, science,
humanities. Such new knowledge would be generated from analysis,
imagination and experimentation.
• The new role would require the University to have a responsive management
structure for academic as well as infrastructure segments. An efficient
management would be able to make best utilization of resources.
• The University believes that in keeping with its rich and long heritage, it
would be able to transform itself from a national to global leader.

2.1 Identify the part of the Vision you plan to achieve during the current
project-life (i.e. your Pragmatic Future)

• Reorientation, restructuring, upgradation of UG studies targeted towards

global competitiveness.
• Consolidation of PG studies and research targeted towards creation of
knowledge and interfacing with community economy.
• Academic and administrative reforms targeted to sustainable growth to vision
statements.
• International exposure in identified areas for empowerment of faculty to meet
global challenges.

2.2 Indicate key activities in order of priority to achieve your pragmatic

future as stated in item 2.1

1. Improving undergraduate teaching/learning processes through better curricula,

better faculty competence, better delivery, better interaction, development of proper
attributes, and exposure to industrial practices.
2. Increasing facilities for undergraduate education, equipment. LRs, internet access,
etc.
3. Tribal development activities.
4. Service to community and economy.
5. Improving post-graduate admission to M.Tech and Research programs through
better structuring of offerings and increased facilities.
6. Improving sponsored Research and Consultancy activities.

2.3 Training Need Analysis

In order to establish Jadavpur University as a center of academic excellence to

attract national and international students of high quality as well as to conduct
research of international standard, Training Need Analysis (TNA) was done to
ascertain the following parameters:

• Whether efficiency increases by exposing faculty members to the state of the

art equipment as well as latest educational systems
• Whether updation in skill and the knowledge of changes in technology is
reflected in syllabus
• Whether with updated syllabus students and teachers extend their
competency
• Whether students and industries feel satisfied with the service rendered by
Jadavpur University

Both SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) and SPIO (Specific
Problems, Issues and Opportunities) techniques were applied depending upon the
cases for an individual or a department. Auditing was done internally and EMB
(Environmental, Motivational and Behavioral) analysis was also incorporated.
Attempts were made to explore the idea of responsibility mapping. Actually this was
the first attempt inside an Indian University to analyze and diagnose the problems
and to remove such lacunae by training its faculty members. Through the attempt is
felt to be small in magnitude, it appeared that the training is a serious issue that
should be addressed properly without any negligence. Different areas of training
(National and International) were identified and are proposed for upliftment of the
university standard.

1. A language laboratory is to be set up in the university with sophisticated audio-visual computerised system for
development of better communication skill. This may also help general category students (other than SC/ST/PHD) to
meet up their need to improve their skill in English as foreign language in international level of test.
2. Another lab is to be set up for physically challenged students to meet their need of communication. Such lab shall
consist different tools and equipments to be used by different categories of physically challenged students.
3. Remedial coaching in the proposal is aimed to cater to the need of in-house students who are found to be weak in
different areas.
4. Different projects are also proposed to improve the skill development, productivity and employability of people in few
locations with dense tribal population.
