1 CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF TAMIL NADU
Ours is the first central university in South India to get the approval from the National Council for Teacher Education for its B.Sc., B.Ed., Four-Year Integrated Programme, thereby implementing the MHRD recommendation to strengthen the base for Science Teachers in this part of our Country. The University has taken its social responsibility seriously and accordingly established an Extension Cell, which organized number of Skill-Development programmes, International Literacy Day Celebrations and Rural Reconstruction Programmes in collaboration with National Council for Rural Institutes, MHRD.
An international team consisting of two CUTN Alumni along with an Arizona State University Student won the second prize in the ‘Lab2Moon’ competition hosted by Team Indus, a Bangalore-based space startup sending the spacecraft. It is a matter of pride for CUTN that the spacecraft will host Team ZΩi’s experiment to observe photosynthesis in cyanobacteria on the moon.
In order to strengthen the quality of teaching-learning and research, a transparent faculty recruitment drive has been on the move. The Central University of Tamil Nadu filled 62 teaching for various departments. Further, 97 teaching positions are being advertised and are being processed. Process for filling up of all vacant non-teaching positions is in progress. It is encouraging that this nascent University had as many as 14,128 applicants this year, from whom 377 were selected for admission. In terms of the achievements documented in this Annual Report speak volumes about the dedication of our academic staff, the high standard of teaching we offer.
The University has started its News Letter and named is as ‘Lapwing’, a bird unique in the CUTN ecosystem.
In the years to come, the CUTN proposes to take up several ambitious projects, aimed at obtaining new pinnacles of success in interdisciplinary and collaborative research and studies. It will also play a pivotal role in making available skilled workforce necessary for the success of ambitious programmes of the Government such as Digital India, Skill India, Clean India and most importantly Make in India
I thank all faculty members, officers and staff, students and all stake holders of the Universityfor their contributions to the progress of the University. I extend my sincere thanks to the Chairman and Members of the Editorial Committee as well as the associated persons for their untiring efforts in bringing out this Report.

WHO REPORT
As the World Health Organisation (WHO) embarked on its mission to eliminate kala-azar (black fever) as a public health problem by 2018, the Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN) organised a two-day expert consultation from August 19, 2016, in Chennai, to draw an action plan on kala-azar vector-control to help wipe out this “poor man’s disease” from the Indian subcontinent. The South East Asia Region of the World Health Organisation (WHO) identified the CUTN to organise this important meeting considering the expertise available at the university. A host of international experts attended this WHO-sponsored event and submitted recommendations for implementation. A parasitic disease, kala azar (black fever) is a major public health concern in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, in the Indian subcontinent. Kala-azar also known as visceral leishmaniasis is caused by the parasite Leishmania donovani that is transmitted through the vector, sandfly. Perhaps, this disease is the second-largest parasitic killer in the world after malaria. Annually, an estimated two to five lakh cases of kala-azar and over 20,000 deaths occur worldwide. India accounts for about half of these figures. It is a neglected disease affecting the marginalised community, with poor housing conditions aiding its spread. Several factors, including air temperature, rainfall, wind speed, relative humidity, soil moisture, pH value and organic carbon, influence breeding and survival of sandflies. In the Chennai event, experts from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, WHO headquarters, Geneva, SEARO, New Delhi and the London School of Tropical Medicine participated. Dr Jayalakshmi Krishnan from the Department of Life Sciences was the coordinator of the expert consultation. Under the headship of Prof AP Dash, honourable Vice-Chancellor the meeting was huge success.

13TH CONFERENCE ON VECTORS AND VECTOR BORNE DISEASES BY CUTN AND NAVBD
From Feb 27 to March 1, 2017, the three-day 13th Conference on Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases (CVVBD), jointly organised by the National Academy of Vector Borne Diseases and the Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN), turned out to be an extraordinary scientific and educational event that was fulfilling in all respects. Calling on the involvement of all citizens, especially the schoolchildren, to keep vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue under control in India, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Di - rector-General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Secretary of the Department of Health Re - search, Government of India, said that their involvement is crucial to sustain - able control of these diseases, which are growing threats to public health in both urban and rural areas of India. Speaking to the reporters at the conference, Dr. Swaminathan explained the efforts taken by the governme nt and by ICMR in controlling vector-borne diseases in India, that in - clude not only mosquito borne but also mite and tick borne diseases. Apart from the conventional spraying of insecticides and disburs - al of insecticide-treated nets, several other alternative options such as developing genetically-modified strains of mosquitoes and Wolbachia infected mosquitoes to control the spread of dengue, chikungunya, etc., are being explored. She said it was possible to achieve elimination of kala-azar, filariasis and malaria within the time - lines set by the government, but that research was essential to develop new tools, including vaccines, new prevention and treatment strategies and improved vector-control methods. ICMR is working in partnership with the National Vector Borne Dis - ease Control Programme (NVBDCP) focusing on translational research and ensuring uptake of research evidence into policy. Dr. Swaminathan also reiterated the importance of vaccination in disease control in India, reiterating the important role that vaccines play in reducing childhood mortality. Dr. Henk Bekedam, WHO Representative to India outlined the achievements of several disease-con - trol programmes in India, while also stating the challenges that government departments are facing in terms of disease control. Speaking at the event, Prof. A. P. Dash, Vice-Chancellor of Central University of Tamil Nadu, said vector-borne diseases is a crucial subject that demands discussion and that the conference, that had about 300 experts and participants from several countries, will provide the much-needed platform for knowledge-sharing. Prof Dash further informed that the Central University of Tamil Nadu has made tremendous progress in research in a very short time, with publications in Nature and Lancet Infectious Diseases. Several awards were given away at the event. Prof. P. K. Rajagopal received the Life Time Achievement Award, while Dr. B. N. Nagpal bagged the NL Kalra Award. Dr. K. Gunesekaran was presented the Vestergaard Frandsen Award, while NAVBD Awards were given away to Dr. N. R. Tuli and Dr. Alex Eapen for Environmental Studies on Vector-Borne Diseases, to Dr. Anupkumar Anvikar for Clinical Studies and Dr. Arun Nagaraj for Molecular Biological Aspects. The meeting was organised by Department of Life Sciences , as Dr Jayalakshmi Krishnan as organising secretary and Dr Shankar, Head, Life Sciences as co-organising secretary. The faculty from the Department of life Sciences Dr Kannan, Dr Indrnail

18. JOURNAL OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION
CUTN Journal of Media and Communication is a brand-new scholarly initiative to promote communication research in India. Perhaps, India is the largest democracy—accounting for about one sixth of the world population. It is the second most populous country in the world with over a billion-and-a-quarter people and the seventh largest by area. India is socially and culturally diverse. Traditionally, India had been seen as an agrarian society and predominantly rural. Its sheer size, dense and distinguished population, binding values, cross-cultures and other contradictions differentiate it from the rest of the world.
Traditionally, Indians had been concerned with very different social and political issues than those in more developed nations. India was also seen as a poor country until a while ago. Development, technological advancement and media exposure had brought about a remarkable change over the past few decades in the country, altering the lifestyle and thinking of an average Indian. Today, Indians are getting wealthier and spending more on media. Media options are aplenty with everything from television, mobiles, films, music, publishing, Internet
87 CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF TAMIL NADU
and radio. Though India presents surplus opportunities for communication research, it remains mostly untapped. As traditional communication media are witnessing a positive climate in India, bucking the global trend of decline, the country becomes an ideal ground to test Western communication theories. Though research is practised with vigour in the Indian soil, the volume of published work is comparatively a notch under. To bridge this gap, this Journal of Media and Communication intends to publish and promote communication research activities in India. CUTN’s Journal of Media and Communication has been approved by the Academic Council held in May 2017 and the first issue of the journal will be rolled out in the same month.
This journal is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal that publishes original research articles (between 6,000 and 9,000 words) and shorter political commentaries (2,000-3,000 words). It aims to promote peer-reviewed media research in India. An open-access model of online publishing is adopted to maximize reach, access, readership and impact. Both theoretical papers and empirical studies are published in this peer-reviewed journal.
The journal provides an opportunity to Indian scholars to share academic knowledge and more importantly broaden the scope of communication research in India.

2.INTRODUCTION :
The University Library was established in the year 2009 and it serves the students, faculty members and staff of the university. The library has a collection of about 26,185 books. Of these, more than 1,500 books are reference books (Handbooks, Dictionaries, Encyclopaedias, and coloured atlases, etc) and the rest are Textbooks and General books. Besides these, the library also has 114 CDs/DVDs and subscribes to 19 print journals. The library has been actively interacting with teaching departments and faculty and a pro-active approach to building essential collection of resources for new programmes being introduced by the various departments has been adopted.
The major resource base offered by the library to the faculty and research scholars of the University is the set of e-journals provided by the e-Shodh Sindhu – UGC – INFONET Consortium for e-Resources, an online journal consortium funded by the UGC. The Faculty, research scholars and students of the University can access as many as 15,000 core and peer-reviewed journals via this consortium. The library is in constant touch with the UGC Infonet for inclusion of new journals and databases to support the new academic programmes of the University. The usage of these e-resources has been very encouraging.
AUTOMATION OF LIBRARY
Right from its initial stages of development, the library embarked upon automating its activities. The Library implemented KOHA - an open source software package - which is an integrated library management system that supports all housekeeping operations of the Library. KOHA a very large user community spread across the globe and consists of modules on acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, serials and OPAC. The entire collection of the library has been catalogued and a comprehensive database of all book resources in the library has been created. The database of is being updated on a day-to-day basis by inputting details of newly acquired books. A database of all Library patrons (members) has also been created using the KOHA package. Presently editing and updating of this database is in progress. The circulation processes of issuing books, return of books and reservation have been automated Records for all library members - students, faculty, officers and administrative staff are being migrated to the new computerized circulation system. The package has also been implemented for Acquisition and Cataloguing activities.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CELL
The Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) has initiated a movement named Unnat Bharat Abhiyan which envisages an inclusive India with its villages transformed through relevant and productive interventions of Indian academic institutions. Following the recommendation of the MHRD, Central University of Tamil Nadu (hereafter, CUTN), committed itself to participating in this national movement and has constituted the Community Development Cell (hereafter, CDC) with the following faculty members: Dr.NirmalSelvamony (chairperson), Dr.Madhurima, Dr.Jayalakshmi, Dr. Kumar and Dr.Ramkumar.
CDC of CUTN has, as a preliminary measure, identified two villages in Tiruvarur District, Thenkovanur and Vadakovanur, for its community development projects. Each of these two villages constitutes a Panchayat Board within the Mannargudi Panchayat Union and both are in the NeedamangalamTaluk. River Korayar, a distributary in the Vennar System of Cauvery, is their source of irrigation. Borewells are a supplementary source of irrigation for a few farmers in these two villages. The principal occupation for residents of both the villages is cultivation of paddy. North-East monsoon brings rain during October-November by which time a few farmers would have raised the second paddy crop for the year. Most of the farmers cultivate only a single crop. Three out of ten families rear milch animals, mostly cows of exotic breed.
The acreage under paddy in Vadakovanur is 1120 and in Thenkovanur it is 420. The former has 306 households (population, 1194) while the latter has 408 (population, 1560). The average size of the household in each is 3 to 4 persons. Children upto six years are nearly 160 in each of these two villages. Both have a literacy rate of 81%. Vadakovanur has a middle school and Thenkovanur, a primary school. Children attend High Schools and Higher Secondary Schools either in Mannargudi, 8 kms away, or in Koothanallur, 4-5 kms away. Mannargudi has a Govt. college and also a private college with P.G. Departments. .The population of the depressed classes in Vadakovanur is 48.49% while it is 65.51% in Thenkovanur village.
Subsequently, the Community Development Cell met the District Collector and some officers at the Collectorate on 27th June 2016. That was a productive meeting and the officer in charge of Sarva Siksha Abhiyan scheme undertook to collaborate with us. On his suggestion we have identified Punitha Jeyarakini Madha Middle School (P. J. M. M. School), at Pannaivalagam, near CUTN, which has a considerable strength of underprivileged students (especially SC students) as one that deserves academic engagement. From the 19th of August, 2016, the Department of English Studies has been interacting with the students of class 8 of this school by bringing them over to CUTN and assisting them in learning English and other soft skills. Based on textbooks prescribed for them, the activities and exercises were prepared by the students of M.A. (CUTN) themselves. All the sessions have been conducted with the aid of ICT.
258 ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2016-2017
With CDC’s experience in interaction with two villages and a rural school, it seeks to address rural educational needs. The social, economic and physical constraints of each household in its pursuit of education, the general strengths and weaknesses in the system of schooling, especially, pedagogy, and curriculum, and also those that are specific to schools will be given more attention. To the extent possible, CDC will motivate rural people to invest more in education, increase enrolment and also disincentivize dropping out. CDC is confident that its contribution to the social transformation envisaged by MHRD through Unnat Bharat Abhiyan will by no means be small.

SUSTAINABLE LIFE ON MOON – AN INTERPLANTARY MISSION OF TWO CUTN STUDENTS.
The project work of Mr. Santhosh Roychowdhary and Ms. Sukanya Roychowdhary, the two sibling-students from SCANMAT (Simulation Centre for Atomic and Nanoscale MATerials), was selected for the international contest which plans to take a miniature lab experiment to the moon. The team Indus’ Lab2Moon contest received more than 3,000 entries all over the globe. From these, two of them were selected and the team of Santhosh, Sukanya and Autumn Kelsea Conner, a final year computer system engineer from the Arizona State University (ASU) titled as “team ZΩI” won the chance to send their project to the Moon.
The team Indus, a space tech startup based in Bengaluru, has already secured a launch contract from the Indian Space Research
262 ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2016-2017
Organization (ISRO) and will launch our experimental module in the PSLV vehicle by the end of 2017. It is the lone Indian team that is participating in the Google Lunar XPRIZE contest that awarded $30million for the winning team. As a part of the contest, teams have to send their lander to the moon, deploy a rover which travel 500 m on the surface, take high definition photos and videos and beam it back to earth etc.
The team ZΩI worked under the guidance of Prof. P. Ravindran, Head SCANMAT, at CUTN.
The miniature lab that the team created encompasses “Extremophile cyano” a bacteria which can withstand the harsh conditions in the outer space. The specialty of the bacteria is that it can do the photosynthesis which is the basis for sustainable life in outer space. The team’s ultimate aim is to help the humanity to become an interplanetary species. The success of this project will make sure that the photosynthesis can be performed on moon and thus the sustainability of life. As the climatic conditions on Mars are more favorable compared to the conditions on Moon, if the bacteria can withstand the conditions of Moon then it can easily survive on Mars, which is considered as the man’s second favorite planet.
263 CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF TAMIL NADU
The polycarbonate capsule which is 110mm tall and weighs 250 grams, is a micro lab that con-tains 9 sensors, a micro camera and a mini computer apart from the colony of the bacteria. The sensors will monitor the conditions of the bacteria and the camera and the mini computer is incorporated in order to feed live videos to earth. Both Santosh and Sukanya after completing their master studies, stayed back at the university and started their dream project with the guid-ance of Prof. P. Ravindran. They designed and constructed the capsule and the electronic part were handled by Autumn Kelsea Conner from the ASU, USA. According to Prof. Ravindran, if the mission is successful, then this will be a revolutionary initiative for the mankind towards becoming a multi planetary species.

and Nanotechnology, University of Oslo, Norway. The Patron of this event was Prof. A.P. Dash, Vice Chancellor, Central University of Tamil Nadu, India, Prof. Vebjorn Bakken, Senior Adviser, Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo,
Norway and Prof. S. Ganesan, Registrar, Anna University, India equally contributed to the success of this mega event. The organizing committee was a group of faculties and research scholars who worked rigorously to run the conference smoothly. Prof. P. Aruna, Dr. S Beer Mohammed, Dr. V. Gunasekaran, Dr. Srinivasan Sampath, Dr. K.R.S. Preethi Meher, Ashwin Kishore M. R, Lokanath Patra, A. Ramesh, S. Kiruthika, Sreedevi P.D, R. Varunaa and Anu Maria Augustine, Mukesh
Kumar Choudhary, and Vishnu Sudarsanan constituted the organizing committee.
All the speakers came from premier institutions of ten different countries and participants from four different countries made the conference truly international in scope. There was 41 plenary/ invited lecture delivered by speakers from all over the world and 276 abstracts were presented in the conference in the form of oral and poster presentation. The conference consisted of three symposiums, i.e., Materials for Energy and Environment, Soft and Bio- Materials, and Magnetic and Multifunctional Materials. Abstracts were distributed almost equally between these three symposiums. The oral and poster were delivered during the days of the conference in the appropriate symposiums in parallel sessions. The presented abstracts are published in a separate abstract book. Among the 276 abstracts, 125 extended abstracts were selected and compiled as proceedings of the ICAFM2017. A few shortlisted full papers are published in indexed journal “International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention” after peer reviewing.
Materials are so important in the development of civilization that we associate ages with them. The subject of functional materials for sustainable energy technologies is demanding and recognized as the promising for next-generation energy conversion, storage, and utilization systems. Miniaturized efficient devices need materials with properties beyond the current state of the art with multiple functionalities. In order to identify potential materials with multiple functionalities, one should make research on theory, computation with focused experiments for
266 ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2016-2017
selected systems. So interdisciplinary research is needed to design advanced functional materials.
All in all, the ICAFM2017 was truly inter- disciplinary and very successful. The invited lecture and the oral and poster presentations bridged the gap between the different fields of functional materials, making it possible for non- expert in a given area to gain insight into new areas. Around 500 scientific participants had many fruitful discussion and exchanges that contributed to the success of the conference. We would like to thank all participants for their contributions to the conference program and for their contribution to proceedings of the ICAFM2017. We also extend our warm thanks to the organizing committee member for their help for the smooth conduct of the conference. The success of this conference means that planning can now proceed with confidences for similar events in future.
