The uxidertaking of any task depends upon the purpose that It would serve not only for the self-benefit but of humanity at large, either for his or its maintenance or for iraprovement. Therce are a multitude of projects launched, in eve ry f i eld, s u ch. a s s oc i o -* ecciioni i c, s c i en t i f i c, 1 ite ra ry , etc., with the solfi aim. of improving and raising the stcindard of majikind. In this tiny State of Goa, the establishiTient of the University served this very purpose. Undoubtedly, a task of such gigantic distensions could not materialise overnigVvt. Sincere efforts v^ere involved by way of lenghthy preparations, sound planning and strenous iiegotiations. Promotion and implementation of the variou.s phases required men of vision, character and competence. But today, if we look back, It can safely be said that it was a period well spent and the enciea^''ours put in produced, if not total, at least a satisfactory result within such a sliort period of time. This is the third year o.f our existence a.ud it can v?ell be said that every year has been a hectic period that enable us to reach at the level we are today. Yet, much still remains to be done. Three years are too short a period to have achieved anything spectacular. But efforts vfere not spared to get done the maximurvi possible, so that our young Univei'-sity could, at least, be on the path of standing as an efficierrt and progressive instit-ution, whicVi would represent an altimate seat of learning, a lighthouse diffusing its illupvinating rays upoD our yo-Ang generation to inspire in therfi creative thinking and imbibe in them the true values of knowle.'.ge, th.at they coulvd come out as enlightened, tri.i.e and useful citisens. are the days when the '‘Higher Educ 3 L.?ori for tl.K) select few”. Today, we ^re in the when nighor educatio 0 is promoted arid made ;vv3 liable to the ma.v.‘se s . Bv-t, to .'Achieve a greater measare of c'vccebS to t;ii.3 effect, wh^jt is r€<sliy needed is that the^:-e masses eihoi^ld be iTiOtivai,ed in a true and proper way. This is going to be rocJIy a task tor the present and the years to come. Fortunately, this University v^as blessed from the very beginning with the useful guidance from Imowiedgable quai-ters and the wholehearted support both from the Central and the State Gov’ernments. Even in the matter of securing the UGC reccgnition as an institution fit to receiv^^; the centrcil assistance, our efforts proved fruitful by fulfilling all the condi.tions laid down for such recognition under sectit^n 12(b) 0‘f the UGC Act, 1956. With this recognition by the UGC, things are expect’=‘vi to be further smoothe'cied in so far as pro?f:oting of various academic programmes and intensifying of construction activities are concerned. E^roposals have already been subm.itted for the financia.J. assistance for the years 1968-39 and 1989-90 and they are receiving favourable consideration of tlie DGG. Likewise, financial assist rnce vn. 11 be forthcoming from the various Central l-linistries for the implementation of specific schemes and pro.iect.s covered ander their respective vievelopment prvogrammes Oov University which cit present functions in the Medical College Complex at Bambolim is eKpectfsd to b<t r:,hlfted to its own csmpus located on the Bambolim ~ Talez-raon plateau in 1989-90. AltViough the construct ion woid-i of tlii s nev^ campus is making steady progress, there is no gainsaying the fact, that in the initial phase considerable delays occurred in the cons tru ct i on wor k . Two proposals that were submitted during the year under report to the UGC v i 2 . to set up in our university a Centre of Latin American Studies including a Departoient of Romance Languages and a Centre tor »vor?;eni .'■'i Study, have been duly considered and approved by the UGC during the year 198B-89. The UGC had selected this University .for locating one of the Academic Staff Colleges. This college has already started functioning from thi.s academic year, Various academivc and other developments which are being carried out right from the inception of our University, represent no mean achievement di.,iring such a short period of three years. It is hoped that the foundation that has now been laid would tend to lead for a solid growth and development of this young institution. Finally, it is my duty to record here my sincere gratitude, on my ovin behalf and on behalf of the University, to our Visitor, H.S. Dr. Gopal Singh as v?ell as Hon'ble Chief Minister, Shri Prataphsingh Rane both of whom have alv?ays strived to be acces^;ible and extend vaiucible heip and guidance in the affairs of this University.
