1. THE UNIVERSITY

1.1 HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The history of Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka (SUSL) can be traced back to 1991 when it was initially established as an Affiliated University College at Belihuloya. In 1995, a committee was appointed by the Minister of Education and Higher Education to study the possibilities of re-structuring the Affiliated University Colleges in the country. In accordance with the recommendations made by the Committee, the government decided to upgrade Sabaragamuwa Affiliated University College to the status of a National University by amalgamating it with two other Affiliated University Colleges located at Rahangala and Buttala. They were renamed as Uva Campus of Sabaragamuwa University. Before the amalgamation, the Affiliated Colleges at Belihuloya and Buttala were affiliated to the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. Rahangala Affiliated University College was amalgamated with the University of Peradeniya. With the three amalgamated affiliated University Colleges, the Sabaragamuwa University was ceremonially declared open on February 2, 1996.

Subsequently, the Affiliated University Colleges at Rahangala and Buttala were converted into the Faculties of Agricultural Sciences and Applied Sciences and shifted to Belihuloya main campus in 2001 and 2008 respectively.

In the year 2018 the FGS offered three taught programmes leading to graduate qualifications at master level and research based higher degree programmes leading to MPhil and PhD qualifications. Altogether there were 241 active postgraduate students and another 100-110 prospective students have applied for the enrolment in 2019. Thus, the objective of the FGS is to provide an opportunity as well as to facilitate effective and efficient delivery of study programmes through quality teaching and research training to produce individuals with graduate qualifications in their respective disciplines who are competent in facing the challenges of development both locally and internationally.

 B.Sc. in Agricultural Sciences and Management (Students can specialize in four fields; Agribusiness Management, Commercial Horticulture, Plantation Agriculture and Livestock Production)

 B.Sc. in Food Business Management

The Department of Export Agriculture offers two academic modules in Plantation Agriculture and Horticulture. During the first four semesters (first 2 years), students need to follow core-courses for their general study on agriculture followed by specialization either in Plantation Agriculture, Horticulture, Livestock Production or Agribusiness Management for two more semesters (in the 3rd year). Students must select their field of specialization at the end of the second year, according to their preferences. Farm Practice, Computer Sciences and English courses are offered in the first three years and students must reach a satisfactory grade for each course in each semester to complete the degree. In addition, elective courses are offered during the final year and students must select four elective courses according to their preferences during the first semester of their final year (in the fourth year). The second semester of the final year is allocated for industrial training, which is a vital and specific component of the degree program and students must undertake a research in the specialized field. The medium of instruction of the degree program is English.

The Faculty organizes programs as the practical components of the degree programme in collaboration with farmers in the area to ensure that knowledge and skills are exchanged between students and farmers. As a result, the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences has developed close links with the surrounding communities. Furthermore, students are given an opportunity to visit various industries to gain exposure in operational aspects of the industry and research organizations.

The rest of the degree programs are strictly four-year degree programs.

The selection of the students for the B.Sc. degree programs in Sport Sciences and Management and Physical Education is done on the basis of G.C.E. (A/L) results as well as the performance at a selection test (written examination). The students who wish to get enrolled for the degree programs in Sport Sciences and Management and Physical Education are also required to face an examination for physical fitness in addition to the selection test. However, the selection procedure has been altered by the UGC through a circular and there will not be any further aptitude tests for the recruitment of undergraduates for the Faculty.

All degree programs offered through the faculty are designed to cater to the current job trends and demands both nationally and internationally. They are conducted exclusively in English. These degree programs are designed to provide interdisciplinary knowledge by incorporating subjects such as Computer Science, Economics, Management, etc. This feature has scaffolded our students to perform well once graduated, serving a wider field than being specific and limited to their field of specialization.

Apart from the academic activities, the Faculty also contributes to the development of the community and the nation through extension and knowledge dissemination programs. The staff and the students participate in such activities annually.

3.2 CENTRE FOR COMPUTER STUDIES

3.2.1 INTRODUCTION

The Centre for Computer Studies provides many IT related academic and technical services to the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. The centre has been conducting and supervising academic programmes of different faculties, preparing IT curricula and providing training for academic and non-academic staff as well as academic supportive staff. The CCS has been providing the university web service and email facility for the entire university community. Campus-wide internet and networking facility, virtual learning environment with other network services, e-learning facility and hardware software maintenance services are the technical services provided by the Centre for Computer Studies.

3.2.2 HISTORY

The history of Sabaragamuwa University Computer Centre goes back to the time of the inauguration of the Affiliated University College (AUC) of Sabaragamuwa Province in 1991. It was first established at one of the residential building then owned by Samanalawewa Hydro Electrical Power Project and now D1-4 quarters of Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. Initially, it was equipped with 10 numbers of Tatung 286 computers featuring 1Mb RAM, 40MB Hard disks and an OKI 9-pin dot-matrix printer and at the time of the inauguration of AUC, late Hon. President Ranasinghe Premadasa unveiled the plaque of the centre.

During the early years AUC enrolled students for Diploma programmes and conducted three diploma courses called Diploma in Accounting & Finance, Diploma in Tourism Management and Diploma in English. The Core Course of Computing offered by the computer centre was a compulsory component in obtaining the diploma produced by all programmes.

After some times, with the donation of Rs. 15,000/= from the Balangoda District Judge who launched a program to donate funds for social work from the fines collected from the drugs victims, initiatives were taken to start the construction of the existing computer centre building with the help of the staff, students and villagers via “Shramadana Campaigns” and finally the Centre was completed with the help of government funds. It was the first building constructed simultaneous with the old auditorium for the AUC in addition to the buildings acquired from the Samanalawewa Project.

Initially one staff member was recruited to the computer centre as an Instructor-in-Computer- Technology for conducting the lectures and practicals for the core courses. Meanwhile, two other instructors were recruited to the computer centre cadre to extend the work it carried out and it was the only centre which had an approved cadre in the AUC system.

After upgrading the AUC into a full-fledged national university as Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka in 1996, computer centre started to render its services to the different degree programs especially for non-IT faculties by means of designing and preparing course

Annual Report 2018 38

SABARAGAMUWA UNIVERSITY OF SRI LANKA

materials for IT related subjects and conducting lectures and practical classes. Further, the Centre contributed technological knowledge to preparing and evaluating tender documents for purchasing of computers and other ICT related equipment for the university and training of clerical staff of the university for effectively use of ICT for their day to day works as well as helping academic staff for preparing their postgraduate thesis and in preparing teaching materials etc.

With the expansion of the university and its functions, computer centre was renamed as Centre for Computer Studies and re-organized under a Director and started offering assistance for conducting ICT related courses for the degree programmes especially for the Faculty of Management Studies and the Faculty of Social Sciences & Language. Another building was constructed adjacent to the existing centre to broaden its services. At the same time university Local Area Network was planned, commissioned and connected to the Internet via LEARN and the Centre started providing and maintaining the Internet and network services to the entire university community. Launching Sabaragamuwa University Web Site and providing E-Learning environment were some land marking services offered by the Centre. To strengthen the services provided by the Centre for Computer Studies the cadre provisions have been increased and at present, the below mentioned cadres are allocated to it according to the 2012 approved cadre list of UGC.

Annual Report 2018 42

SABARAGAMUWA UNIVERSITY OF SRI LANKA

The Centre for Computer Studies supervises all computer related academic activities in these five computer centres and maintains the campus-wide network including all the servers required to provide network services such as web e-learning, DNS, email, library system, student information service and network troubleshooting services.

In year of 2013, infrastructure facilities and academic programs related with IT have further improved with the aid of allocations from the consolidated fund by the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. With this fund, the university managed to increase the Internet bandwidth from 20Mbps to 100Mbps and increased the number of computer facilities to all academic and administrative staff members at their work places.

Due to the high demand of the internet usage of the university, internet providers requested to increase the bandwidth up to 225 Mbps. Accordingly, the computer centre proposed to increase the internal bandwidth of the fibre backbone.

Free Wi-Fi areas were implemented for the students inside the university to provide a better learning environment to them. According to that initiative all the faculties have access to the Wi-Fi facility.

Further, according to its annual plan, the University purchased more than 200 new computers and the centre helps to purchase and implement such computers in the university network.

Campus-Wide Network: Our campus-wide Local Area Network is run and maintained by the Centre for Computer Studies. It is administrated by our Assistant Network Managers within the server room. The server room consists of CISCO routers, proxy server, DNS server, CISCO switches, web server, e-learning sever, virus guard server (centralized server) etc. Performance of the network functions and the E-learning system are increased by upgrading the three servers namely; Proxy, DNS and E-learning during the year 2014. Separating and partitioning of the server room from the existing computer lab assured physical security and the easiness of maintenance of the servers. Also by commissioning the alternative power generating system using a 20KVA standby generator and 20KVA UPS system, availability of network functions are guaranteed during all times.

All the Seven faculties are now inter-connected with fibre optic backbone and willing to upgrade to the backbone in next year. At present our commodity Internet band with is 225Mbps and the physical link is capable of handling signals of 100Mbps bandwidth.

Office and Teaching Equipment 5 years Computer & computer accessories 5 years Library Books and Periodicals 5 years Communication Equipments 5 years Motor Vehicles 5 years Cloaks 5 years Other Equipments 5 years

Depreciation is provided in full in the year of purchase and no depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. This method of depreciation is adopted in using the rates in the UGC circular 649 from the financial year 2006 and hope to continue in future. This method of calculation of depreciation was also approved by SUSL Council at its 117th meeting held on 20.01.2007. This method has not been applied in the year 2018 for the commencement the faculty of Technology & Faculty of Medicine. SUSL received grants from Ministry of Higher Education and the University Grant Commission as mention in the Note No. 1.3.3. The assets which we purchased and constructed and received under these grants are not depreciated and not amortised in the year 2018 since the faculty takes their first intake in January 2019. The insurance receivable for SGKE 9206 motor car received full in 2017.

In 2018 the water treatment plant, land & building located at Pambahinna junction was acquired by the water Supply and Drainage Board without any consideration of the university. The net book value of those assets as at 01/01/2018 is as follows. Cost Depreciation NBV Land Rs. 1,600,000.00 - 1,600,000.00 Water Treatment plant Rs. 900,000.00 585,000.00 315,000.00 The land was received in 2006 as a grant.

1.2.2 Intangible Assets An Intangible asset is recognized only when its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to it will flow to the university. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increase the future economic benefits embodied in the assets. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life and amortized using straight line method to write down the cost of intangible asset to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows. a. Computer software is amortised over a period of 5 years on straight-line basis. b. Cost of development of new curriculum is amortised over a period of 5 years on Straight-line basis, from the effective date of the new curriculum. Intangible assets represent the software purchased under the HETC grant on their written down value and software purchased by the entity. 1.2.3 Curriculum Revision The university revises the curriculum for all degree programs every five years and amendments are not made within that period. Hence, the expenditure incurred on capital funds are amortize over the five years period on the basis that the economic benefits would flow to the university during the effective period of the new syllabus. Since the Faculty of Management Studies and Faculty of Geomatics have implemented the revised curriculum w.e.f. 2015, the expenditure incurred on that are amortizes w.e.f. 2015. Additionally, since the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and the Faculty of Applied Sciences have implemented the revised curriculum w.e.f. 2016, the expenditure incurred on that are amortizes w.e.f. 2016.
