The NAAC Self Study Report (SSR) has been prepared by a Steering Committee constituted for this purpose. We have done our best in answering all the questions posed, with all available information. As the University prepares for Cycle-2 from NAAC, the exercise also emerges as a self- introspection examination of which aspects of the academic and administrative sectors require more focused attention. We wish to thank the University community for their inputs, and would like to thank the NAAC Bangalore for this opportunity to self-introspect. 6 CRITERION-1: CURRICULAR ASPECTS The pivotal goal of the University is to disseminate advanced knowledge in an inter-disciplinary framework. Women's / Gender studies form an integral component of the curriculum formation. As much as the theoretical aspects are given prominence, the practical content is equally emphasized in the curriculum structuring. As the goal of Women's Studies follows the linear order of knowledge sharing, gathering and learning the horizontal mobility in teaching-learning is advocated and encouraged. The curriculum is structured in a manner that is student friendly, learner Centreed, and that is targeted to immediate employability and placement. The curriculum of the University is subject to periodic review to render it socially relevant and to match the prevailing demands by the students and stakeholders. The University has introduced the Choice Based Credit System successfully for all the courses from the academic year 2001 onwards. Broad- based curriculum is prepared by inviting renowned professors from India and abroad to equip the students to the global standards. This has enabled the students to earn credits in an approachable, flexible manner, easing the pressures of obtaining marks. The students are enriched with multiple skills and knowledge and are provided opportunities to earn the maximum credits. They can also opt for short term supplementary enrichment courses offered by various Departments.

  • “Lost in Translation”: a Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature
    Karunakaran / Lost in Translation “Lost in Translation”: A Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature Shamila Karunakaran Abstract This paper provides an overview of the history of Sri Lankan literature from the ancient texts of the precolonial era to the English translations of postcolonial literature in the modern era. Sri Lanka’s book history is a cultural record of texts that contains “cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (Chodorow, 2006); however, Tamil language works are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to Sri Lankan culture and are “lost in translation” when conveyed in English. Keywords book history, translation iJournal - Journal Vol. 4 No. 1, Fall 2018 22 Karunakaran / Lost in Translation INTRODUCTION The phrase “lost in translation” refers to when the translation of a word or phrase does not convey its true or complete meaning due to various factors. This is a common problem when translating non-Western texts for North American and British readership, especially those written in non-Roman scripts. Literature and texts are tangible symbols, containing signifed cultural meaning, and they represent varying aspects of an existing international ethnic, social, or linguistic culture or group. Chodorow (2006) likens it to a cultural record of sorts, which he defnes as an object that “contains cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (pg. 373). In particular, those written in South Asian indigenous languages such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu, Sinhalese are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to specifc culture[s] and cannot be properly conveyed in English translations.
