Education at the University level has made steady progress in over the past 125 years* Of the five Universities functioning in Tamil Nadu at present two are of the affiliating type v i z ., the University of ?fe,dras at Madras and 1^5adurai KamieraJ University at ^5adurai. In addition to these two, the three other Universities functioning in the State are the Annaraalai University at Annamalai Nagar in South Arcot District, the Tamil Nadu Agri­ cultural University at Coimbatore confining its activities to Agriculture and Allied fields and the Perarignar of Technology at B/Iadras established in October 1978, also confines itself to Technical Education* These three Universities are unitaiy in character.

The University of Biadras established in the year 1857 should be looked upon as the MDther University for all tbe other Universities in the State • Inspite of the establishment of four other Universities, the University of ^d ra s continues to have under its rather extensive jurisdiction a large number of Institutions affiliated to it. The total number of students enrolled in the various institutions under Its jurisdictioii continues to be the biggest among the Universities in Tamil Nadu and perhaps in the Country itself. The jurisdiction of this University extends over 11 districts in the State and 167 Colleges.

It may be mentioned at the outset that sinc© Independence the number of Universities in India as a whole has increased from 18 to more than 118. But the number of Universities established in this State since Independence is only thac«e v i z ., Madurai Kamaraj University, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and Perarignar Anna University of Technology. The number of affiliated colleges under the far exceeds the minimm number of colleges recommerded to be affiliated to a University by the (Jajendragadkar Committee. This u m i e l ^ ch^acter of the University of Jfedras tells upon not only tlie administrative efficiency of the University but also of the academic attainments .2. of the students of the colleges, thereunder. In order to obviate this difficulty and also to put the University of I'fe.dras, on an efficient footing it has become imperative to transform the Post Graduate Centres at Ti rue hi rap alii and Coimbatore as full fledged Universities. The G-ajendragadkar Committee on the G-overnance of the Universities and colleges has recommended that Universities would do well to have a strong case of teaching departments with about 30 affiliated colleges. Having the recommendations of the Gajendragadkar Committee and those of Kothari Commission in view, it may well be gauged that the present size of the Madras Univer­ sity by no means lends itself for easy and eff icient administration.

2 . STAOIB POLICY ON HIGHS H BDUCITION

It will be highly relevant here, to mention the gist of State Policy on higher education for the period 1978“^3, which is as follows s' / ■; i . to transfer the Pre-University class (PUC) from the university governance and colleges to the school directorate so that higher ' education might concentrate on its tasks.

i i . to continue the policy of not opening new arts,science and commerce colleges so that the limited higher education resources are . not spread thinly.

iii. to ensure fuller use of existing higher v^.^ducation facilities through expanded correspondence education programmes and morning and evening colleges. .3.

iv. to adopt the qualitative imp rove me nt pro­ grammes suggested by the UG-0, including examination reform, improved teacher qualifications,curricular restructuration, extension, semesterisation, COSIP, GOSHTP and advanced centres programmes.

V . to relate professional education admissions to the manpower requirements as established by the State Planning Commission•

vi* to shift the centres of higher learning to rural areas in order to set right the imbalances in educational standards prevail­ ing in the Gountiy, and

vii# to make Madras University a viable institu­ tion by reducing its unwieldy area and number of affiliated colleges fjx>m 167 to

'To meet the objective of the higher education policy, i t i ‘=’- Vj imperative that two new Universities are established without any delay* These new Universities will be concentrating on three main fields of activity (1) teaching and preparation of man-power (2) research and (3) extension activitiesv- The conduct of classes with specialisation in new branches of knowledge on an inter-disciplinary basis may be entrusted to University Bepart- ments only. This wilJ. further lead to

1* the equal distribution of the institutions of higher learning throughout the State.

i i . it would also create opportunities for specialisation in places other than Madras and Madurai. .4.

iii. Faculties like laage,Ijinguistics,Inter­ national studies, ^%.nageTTient Sciences etc. also could be made available at Tiruchi and Coimbatore, in addition to a good Central Library, Computer Centre and I*ublication Unit and recording and transmission faci­ lities for correspondence courses.

iv. Education could be linked to the regional ’ needs and resources’ , like development of Ti rue hi rap alii Centre for oriental and ancient studies and of Coimbatore Centre, for studies connected with industrializa­ tion, urbanization, management sciences, demographic studies and so on, could take place •

V . Ill new Post Graduate Courses will be started only at the two new University campuses which will concentrate on ?ast- G-raduate teaching and research.

3 . COIWBATOBB UNIVERSITT

As far as Coimbatore University is concerned, we propose to take District of Coimbatore and % lg ir is as a Unit (Nilgiris was a part of Coimbatore District originally). This will bring about Colleges within its fold, which is quite a well defined number for a modem University . The main reasons that weigh with us for this approach are summarised below: .5.

i . This arrangement will bring 32 Colleges to the fold of CoimlDatore University, which is the ideally i*ecomraended number for any University. These colleges are so far remote firom the Head­ quarters of the Madras University that there is hardly any impact from the point of view of academic influence and administration. .

i i . The burden, will also be removed from Madras University.

iii. The closer supervision on the affiliated colleges will be possible leading to the higher standards in education.

Barai B;tas

i# The entire District of Coimbatore is very weH connected 1:^ Rail and Road transport. It is quite possible for arybody to come from ar(y part of Coimbatore and attend the classes in the University and go back to his village. Thus this arrangement will not only increase the mraber of rural students but also link the village and University and contribute to the retnoval of Rural uriDan imbalances and polarization. This will also lead to better integration between rural and urban area;s and provide more opportuni­ ties to lural students.

,£rll>.a?r Pj-aP

This has been the policy of Central Grovernraent to give impetus to education in hill areas and tribal areas. If a Univer­ sity is established in Coimbatoire the tribal population at .6.

M lgiris District would be immensely benefitted. It is a disheartening to note that as cornpared to 18,053 non schedulec! tribe College students in the SH;ate the number of triba,l students is only 232, They thus contribute only 0 ,01% of the student population. The number of graduates and professionally qualified people is almost negligible.

i . Keeping these facts in view Coimbatore University can open its doors to tribals in a big way. Fi»ee hostels for Girls and Boys belonging to Scheduled Tribes could be reserved. Thus ensuring minimm number of tribal students undertaking higher education.

ii. Intensified effort at tribal education will change the entire socio-economic complexion of the tribal area.

Industrialisation. I'fobilltv and Education

Coimbatore is one of the most advanced Industrial towns in the Countiy . It specialises in textile as well as textile machineiy# Apart from that, light and Heavy machinery, Electronic goods. Cement, Artificial gems, automobiles parts and chains and Chemicals are mamfaetured here. It also has foundries and mini­ steel plants. Ever increasing Industrial expansion has been creating job opportunities as well as constant mobility into the City.

A great deal of experts at all levels are required in these industries. At the same time there is a great scope for management studies. .7.

i . The Coirribp.tore University could take up the task of manpower planning and meeting the talent req.uirements of the existing industrial complexeSo

i i . At the same time these veiy complexes could be utilised for imparting practical training to the students. iii^ Today about 305^ population in Ooimbatore cansists of industrial workers and establishing a Univer­ sity in an industrial town could certainly prove beneficial to the children coming from working class.

Iv. Students and Industry

To reduce the frustration among the students and simultaneously for preventing the student unrest, the Coimbatore University can provide a unique opportunity for inter*action between the students and industries.

a) J^art-titae, week end and vacation work can be made available to students and they could be nominally paid. This would give tl^m a sense of purpose.

b) The Students could be associated with the I'abour welfare projects under the auspices of National ^rvice i^heme.

c) With the help of industries short term vacational courses or^n be organised supple­ menting the regular i^llabus for the benefit of students.

d) extension work could be done iti industrial - areas.' ■ .8 .

.Jirfrasjtoicfayg

Coimbatore provides for a tremendous potential as well as a well defined infrastructure for a University of high repute (Appendix I . ) .

i . The District Coimbatore alone has about 28 Colleges and most of them are the product of private initiative. This number is largest in any District, which indicates amply that people are ready and waiting for welcoming the insti­ tutions of higher learning and ready to contri­ bute their mite. If basic requirements of a University are provided tbe rest would be done by the people themselves, The expansion and growth of University through peoples partici­ pation and contilbution would be automatic, which certainly deserves to be encouraged.

ii. The excellent specialised institutions of higher learning,well known throughout the Country like Avinashilingam Home Science College and College of Technology are already existing and could be given further impetus by the very presence of a University in Coimbatore* The specialised expertise and facilities existing in such institutions could be made available to other Colleges also. Autonomous Collets will be encouraged and more College could be given autonomous status as they improve beyond a certain norm* .9.

i i i , Sorne of the best Residential Schools in the Country are situated in Nilgiris. After the Schooling is over, a void is created for many students unless they are in a position to disperse to different parts of the Country. This gap can also be bridged by providing the avenues of qualitative higher learning at Coimbatore.

iv. A well qualified faculty is already available for starting a University.

V. A Post G-raduate Centre is in existence since 1973 offering following courses of studies.

a) Chemistry b) Zoology c ) Physics d) Psychology e) Economics f) Botany g) Sociology h) Applied l%thematics i) Statistics

The Centre is at present functioning at its own premises recently constructed in the new campus at Vadavalli* This centre is autonomous in character and is being headed now by a full fledged director. This Centra is also engaged in research programmes leading to M.Phil. and Ph.D. Degrees,

So we propose that Coimbatore University may be formed on the above mentioned lines. This will be more or less In line with the TJGC concept as well, and could be construed as an extended form of unitary system. It will be compact and have .10. direct dealings on post-gradua.te and research activities. Thi:; form will be extremely suitable, keeping in view the historic development of Golleges within ^%dras Uraversity and the needs and resources of the area and its inhabitants.

4, TIRUCHIRAPAHil UNIVERSITY

i . Tiruchirapalli has always been a centre of learning and culture. It has a number of highly reputed Arts and Science Colleges (One of them St.Joseph's College is as old as the University of ^%dras) and the Regional Engineering College which is well known all over the Country.

i i . Already a post graduate centre is functioning from 1963. It has to its credit the following six departments that are fully staffed and well equipped.

a) Economics b) l^fethematics c) English d) Physics e ) Chemistry f ) Botany

The Centre at present headed by a Director and enjoys autonomous status and is engaged in imparting Post G-raduate Education as well as guiding research leading to M.Phil., and Ph.D. Degrees. .11. i i i . Tiruchi d.tiA specially Thanjavur has iDeen the seat of Tamil culture in all ages. Today also we find, buried# layer after layer, the entire town sites, temples, the monuments of immense Architectural, Cultural and Historical value. We also hpve famous Saraswathi l^%hal I

i v . The University could also extend its patronage to visual and fine arts. Specially the art of Stone and wood carvings. Brass and ^anchloka Bronze sculptures,Thanjavur Miniature paintings and so on. These arts are almost on the verge of extinction and need be given recognition in the centres of higher learning. Thus a faculty of fine airts run by the University would be of immense service, to the cause of safe-guarding and promoting Indian Culture. .12.

V. Type of University

As far as Tiruchi is concerned we would prefer affiliataiy system. We would like to affiliate the Colleges in Tiruchi,Thanjavur and Pudukottai Districts to Tiruchi University following the Same pattern as Madras and Madurai University* This will bring about Colleges to its fold. These three districts are geographically,histo­ rically and culturally linked and form an unit in itself. These are also well connected with road and rail transport which will facilitate the close supervision of Colleges by the Univer­ sity.

Establishment of an University at Tiruchi will meet the long felt aspirations of the people of the region#

6 . COICHJDIM} Ha!/[AHK3,

It is arnply evident that we do not want to have more Universities in the State rnerely to add to the statistics^ but due to a great need. We have already indicated that no new Colleges are proposed to he opened, so there is no expenditure going to take place on that account. It has also been indicated that Post 0-raduate Centres are already functioning at both the places with minimum infrastracture like Laboratories,Libraries, Buildings and so on, thus the additional requirement for estab­ lishing full fledged Universities will not be enormous.

We have already spent about two croro^ of rupees on creating these facilities. State G-overnment would be prepai^d to meet all its requirements during the VI Plan period also. Most likely Central G-overnment would be approached only during the VII Plan period.

This will lead to strengthening of Post G-raduate Centres, as well as to have additional facilities for Universalis ation of education like part-time courses, Correspondence course and s o on. We propose to have affiliating system for Tj^ruchi and Coimbatore University. Tiruchi will have a truely affiliated form but Coimbatore will in fact be extended form of City University.

With these remarks we make a special request that the two Universities at Coimbatore a M Tiruchi may be sanctioned for the ^tate of Tamil Na,du at the earliest . APPENDICES ,16. i^PPENDIX I
