9 PREFACE The Chairman and the members of the Academic and Administrative Audit Committee for the year , express their gratitude to Prof. H.B.Walikar, Hon ble Vice Chancellor, Karnatak University, Dharwad for the trust bestowed upon the AAA Committee for the onerous task of assessing, auditing and thereby making some benevolent observations for building this University as a centre of higher learning in the country in general and in the State of Karnataka in particular. I, on behalf of all my learned colleagues of the AAA Committee , with whose able support it was possible to complete this pleasant task and prepare this Report, which would provide necessary inputs in achieving the academic, research and managerial objectives of this University. The Higher Education System in India is a huge public service establishment. Despite having more than 650 Universities in the country, it has been possible to meet the needs of only a small percentage of aspirants who crave for pursuing university education. To supplement and complement this huge gap the universities on their own have been addressing this lacuna, through non formal mode, by offering distance education programmes, both by affiliating and through independent open universities. The country in general and Karnataka State in particular have taken this social inclusive program of imparting higher education to those who are unable to do so through the formal channels. The universities therefore, have been making efforts to bring visible of their existence in the contemporary changing societies. Karnatak University, Dharwad is the second oldest and the largest university is the state, after the University of Mysore, and it has been headed by some legendary Vice Chancellors such as Dr. D.C.Pavate and others. It has immensely contributed to the aspirations of the educants of this part of the State and has received generous public ambivalence to its vision and mission of providing higher education to the community. The University which was started in the late 1940s, before the reorganization of the states, has continued the tradition of offering quality education in numerous faculties and disciplines and has also ably set itself in the changing higher education scenario. In this regard the contributions of the teaching departments, pursuance of research activities and the good governance by the university administration are its commendable strides in this field of higher education. The university with more than 50 post graduate teaching departments, other academic support centres, and the able guidance and leadership provided by the Vice Chancellor has potentialities to reach to greater heights as it has been already recognized as a University with Potential for Excellence. But any organization cannot feel content with this one instance and achievement and education is a continuous process, and creativity and innovations are the basic mottos of higher learning. The universities should instill creative and innovative traits in the minds of younger generations as the world has long entered into the realms of a knowledge society and the new economic paradigm, knowledge economy, demands these traits of continuous skill development. The university departments besides their regular academic work have now to divert their objectives towards fulfilling these needs of younger minds as today s learners possess tremendous capability to assimilation of new knowledge. It would set in 1

10 a new pathway for the progress of the university and its educational programmes. The areas like intellectual property are gaining world attention and are the outcomes of the knowledge economy, in this context the University teaching departments would prepare a blue print for such new ventures and can become self supportive for their research and development activities. The universities have always felt the fund crunch for their development and for creating learner centric facilities. Thus there is a need for a collaborative approach in this direction to meet the financial needs through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode which would set in active participation of benevolent organizations and individuals and would also create an inbuilt mechanism for societal involvement and also to pursue socially relevant research and welfare activities. The Committee has made some distinct observations, on the front of faculty recruitment, and lack of adequate space for teaching and learning work. It has also observed that the situation on this front is not uniform in all Universities in the state. Some of the newly established universities have been recruiting almost a full complement of teaching and support staff and on the other hand, as this Committee has observed, most of the teaching and service departments have serious dearth of manpower and are also suffering from lack of space for laboratory, class rooms, departmental library and student amenities. This Report intensively focuses on this issue based on the deliberations the Committee had with various teaching and service departments of the University. The Report should not go as a routine procedure and as ritual of a Committee outcome, but the observations and recommendations made thereby by the members of the committee should be looked into seriously and appropriate actions be initiated in the concerned areas and addressed thereto. The AAA Committee deeply acknowledges the committed tasks performed by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) under the leadership of Prof. S.S. Patagundi and the able guidance of Prof. C.R. Karisiddappa. This has certainly made the task of the Committee easier in preparing and submitting the report. The supportive Sub Committees constituted in this regard, i.e., the Hospitality Committee, the Reception Committee, the Documentation Committee, Transportation Committee, IT Committee and Overall Supervision Committee have played their effective role and this Committee owes its indebtedness for their un blemishing services in this regard. The Committee expresses its sincere thanks to Prof. S. A. Patil Registrar, Karnatak University, Dharwad for his able support and timely interactions the members had with him in fulfilling this pleasant task. The Committee expresses sincere thanks to Smt. Veena S. Desai and the other staff of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell, Karnatak University, Dharwad for their sincere efforts and timely cooperation in the preparation of this Report.

219 RECOMMENDATIONS 211

220 Recommendations Preamble: The Committee visited all the Postgraduate Departments, Constituent Colleges, Research Centres, Chairs/Peethas, Office establishments, Supporting Services, Hostels and interacted with the faculty members, students, researchers, Hostel inmates, office staff and has observed the following: General Observations: Shortage of faculty, inadequacy of infrastructural facilities, lack of student amenities, under utilization of central facilities and the placement and career guidance services, computer laboratories and poor maintenance of the buildings are among the visible deficiencies. Motivated and committed faculty with excellent teaching and research record, increasing student enrolment are among the strengths of the university. Recommendations The Committee draws attention to these issues and strongly recommends immediate measures to resolve issues in the interest of improving the quality of education. It is also observed that the general performance of administrative sections such as establishment section, academic, accounts, scholarship, engineering section etc., need more emphasis with regard to timely decisions, performance and orientation. The buildings which are newly constructed have found to have used poor quality materials endangering their sustained use and durability. The buildings which are more than 60 years now are still in good utility with a long span of repairs and maintenance. So the committee has identified some very severe deficiencies and lacunae and also serious dearth of teaching staff with increasing student strength year after year. A. Academic Infrastructure: The members of the Committee equivocally have expressed the lack of teaching staff in most of the P.G. Departments of the University. The Committee has also visualized a biased observation as some of the newly established universities have been sanctioned adequate number of teaching posts and have also been recruiting these posts. But in contrast in older universities like Karnatak University there is serious lack of teaching staff and there is ban on the recruitment of vacancies. It is 212

221 high time that Karnataka Government takes appositive decision with regard to the faculty recruitment in this university in view of proper Human Resource Development in all disciplines. A.1 Teaching Staff: Hence the Committee recommends that the University should take up this issue seriously with the concerned authorities, especially the Government of Karnataka to get sanctions to a bare minimum of teaching staff to every post graduate department. Most of the teaching staff in the present situation is recruited on adhoc basis, as Guest Faculty, Teaching Assistants, and so on. There is a need for discontinuing this practice, as it is observed, it hampers the continued teaching process. As it is observed, there is no uniform policy on this front, on the appointment of teaching staff for all the universities in the state and the issue can be taken up for discussion in the Karnataka State Council for Higher Education, for formulating a policy on the sanctioning and recruitment of staff not only in the universities but also in colleges, and also for the centralized supporting departments like library, computer centre and for students welfare wings and so on. A.2 Space Requirements The Committee also heard and observed the lack of space for class rooms, computer laboratories, departmental libraries which are so essential for teaching and learning. When the universities are aiming towards achieving excellence in academics and research, there is a need not only for class rooms but also facilities for seminars, group discussion and counseling and mentoring. Hence the Committee feels that the university should contemplate on these requirements also and should make provision for space for all academic and research activities of the departments. A.3 Reorganization of the Faculties into Schools: There is a need for rearrangement of the teaching departments to bring them under the umbrella of Schools of Learning. During the last two decades with an aggressive adoption of Information and Communication Technologies in every discipline, there is a trend of interdisciplinary approach to the studies and research. The subjects like Computer Science, Systems Studies, Statistics, and Research Methodology are finding applications in most of the areas and there are instances where a subject gets affiliated to more than one discipline. In this 213

222 context the members of the Committee were of the opinion that the present subject-wise compartmentalization of departments be converted into Schools of Studies by bringing related department together for promoting interdisciplinary research. The universities in Karnataka and also elsewhere have adopted the Choice Based Credit System of curriculum and it is felt that the universities can easily scale up to the pattern-schools of Studies and the Committee recommends that the suitable statutory modalities be worked out in this context and the Karnatak University should take a lead in this endeavour. A.4 Raising Internal Resources: University should think of raising financial resources by starting selffinancing scheme in professional courses, and by increasing intake of seats in existing professional courses like MBA, MTA., M.Com., and in some science disciplines, and also by starting consultancy services. A.5 Industry University Cell: Industry-Institution tie-up has to be initiated and strengthened wherever it has already been initiated, so that the job opportunities and on-the-job training is made available to the students. In this endeavour Industry-University Cell may be established. A.6 Profile of the Departments: The profiles of the departments have to be restructured to highlight the unique achievements of the department as well as of the faculty who have excelled in their academic, research and publication activity. For instance a faculty member might have been awarded a prize or recognized by a learned body or academy in the subject such instances in present profiles are not mentioned uniformly, this would eliminate some aberrations in the presentations. A.7 Re-designating Degrees/Departments The university identify some new thrust areas, redesign courses and re-name departments wherever necessary. Often graduates holding certain degrees find difficulty in employment as the degrees are not recognized by the Government or the UGC or in particular State and Central Public Service Commissions. There are instances where degree holders of certain discipline have to resort to legal measures. University may prepare a list of such courses and bring the same to the attention of the Karnataka State Higher Education Council to recommend the same to KPSC through the Government. 214

223 A.8 Focus on Inter-Disciplinary approach It is observed by the Committee that there is disparity between different disciplines with regard to research publications, undertaking research projects and also interactions with other departments within and outside the faculties. In order to encourage interdisciplinary research and also to bring all departments on par, it is recommended to create a mechanism or a forum where all faculties join and discuss mutually beneficiary projects. B. Central Facilities: The members of the committee visited all the wings of the central facilities like the University Library, Computer centre, University Scientific Instrumentation Centre, the Central Workshop and others. Some of them are effectively supporting the user departments and some are suffering from lack of initiatives. Hence the Committee recommends that the Central Workshop and the Computer Centre should discover avenues to increase their activities. As an illustrative example the workshop should identify the concerned works in the department and can undertake them. This will save time and money as well as a lengthy process of tendering, assigning and execution of the work. Similarly the computer centre can extend its base to include E-governance programmes of the University. The University Library is subscribing to UGC-INFONET Consortium promoted by INFLIBNET. The members found there is lack of awareness about this facility hence the Library should take steps to promote the use of electronic resources by the teachers, students and research scholars. C. Student Amenities and Residency: C.1 Students Welfare Section The committee strongly feels that student amenities, residency facilities are inadequate in some cases and do not exist in certain departments. Dean, Students Welfare has to pay special attention towards these deficiencies. The NSS section has to be reorganized for its effective participation with its designated activities. C.2 Students Residency - Hostels Students and the organization are the two important components of any educational system. Most of the Hostels in the University are not well maintained and it is painful to know that some are not fit for staying. Most of the rooms are overcrowded and lack minimum basic amenities like drinking water, proper 215

224 sanitary and security system and other facilities. The Committee strongly recommends that immediate action be taken to improve the conditions of the hostels which are in deplorable condition. It is also observed by the Committee that a small number of hostels are very well maintained. Hence, the Committee recommends formation of a Council of Wardens headed by a Chairman which would oversee that just and equitable facilities are provided to all the Hostels. D. Administration and Accounts Section: D.1 Lack of permanent staff and lack of computer, communication skills are the main deficiencies in these sections. Employing large number of temporary staff in the Administration and Accounts sections is not a good practice as they would be dealing with confidential matters and that temporary staff should be kept away from handling confidential documents and working in confidential sections. Hence it is recommended that full time permanent staff should be appointed in the Administration and Accounts section of the University. It is mandatory that staff in the Administration and Accounts would pass.departmental examinations conducted by the Government. Hence the university should look into this aspect also and if the staff have not done well so they should be advised to take the examination at the earliest. D.2 It is found that majority of the staff are lacking in basic communication and computer skills. Hence it is recommended that the staffs in the Administration and Accounts are trained in the use of computers and other office automation facilities. They also should be provided exposure to interpersonal and communication skills. The University should adopt E-governance in the entire administration and should also computerize the accounts section at the earliest. D.3 The communication and correspondence between the University administration and the teaching departments is taking time due to delay of physical file movement. To cut short this delay the solution would be to adopt E- governance in the administration and accounts. Recommendation of the previous AAA Committee ( ) was that the SAKAL provision in the university administration be adhered to and it has to be looked into now. 216

225 E. Publications and Prasaranga E.1 The University has good printing establishment. Prasaranga. The publication wing should motivate faculty and researchers to make use of the facility in publishing articles, books, question banks, books relating to NET and other competitive examinations and textbooks particularly in the local language. It is also necessary that the University should encourage to publish Ph.D. theses submitted to the University so as to bring the research output on the public domain knowledge. The Committee members have made and objective analysis of all the data and information they have gathered from their visits and came out with these Recommendations for implementation. 217
