Declaration 393 Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur – 842001 Page 2 NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT Preface I wish to bring it to your kind notice that Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur is the second oldest University of the state of Bihar and originally its territorial jurisdiction extended over the whole of the Bihar except the Colleges and Post Graduate Departments located in Patna which form part of the Patna University. The then Bihar University was established in 1952 as teaching cum affiliating University with its headquarter at Patna. But now its territorial jurisdiction is confined to whole of the Tirhut division which consists of the six districts. The areas covered by the University is by and large educationally, economically and socially backward. In 1993 Government of Bihar renamed the University as Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, for giving honour to the University for being associated with the great personality of the country. The University as such is faced with the very challenging task of promoting and developing facilities for the relevant higher education to increasing number of young men who are desirous of having the benefit of education for their brighter future. The University has rare distinction of being associated with His Excellency Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first president of India, noted intellectual and freedom fighter Acharya J.B. Kripalani, national poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar and many others of national and international repute as the teachers of the University. The post graduate departments and the Colleges under the University are imparting teaching in the faculties of the Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Commerce, Law, Medicine, Engineering, Business Management and Prakrit and Jainology as well as Homeopathy, Ayurvedic and Unani system of the medicine. The territorial jurisdiction of the university still extends over the whole state of Bihar in respect of teaching in Homeopathic, Ayurvedic and Unani. Originally the post graduate teaching was started at L.S. College, Muzaffarpur the premier College, which has rare distinction of celebrating its centenary celebrations a few years back. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur – 842001 Page 3 NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT In late seventies, post graduate departments were given separate blocks and now postgraduate teaching is imparted directly by the University in 21 University departments. In addition, seven constituent colleges under the jurisdiction of the University have been allowed to impart postgraduate teaching. The enrolment of undergraduate students in 39 constituent Colleges and the other affiliated colleges is quite encouraging. The government Institute of Prakrit and Jainology located in Vaishali undertakes teaching of Prakrit and Jainology. In view of growing need of promoting skills for greater employability of ever increasing number of youths and also with a view to giving them an opportunity to become useful as skilled human resource, B.R.A. Bihar university has taken a bold initiative of starting a number of vocational courses such as B.C.A., B.B.A., Industrial Microbiology, Industrial Chemistry, Journalism and Mass Communication, P.G. Diploma in Hindi Journalism and Mass communication, P.G. Diploma in Computer Application , P.G. Diploma in Clinical Psychology and Bachelor of Library and Information Science . In the University department of Mathematics, M.C.A. course has been started under self financing scheme with support of upgraded laboratory of the Computer centre. In the field of computer education the University has made remarkable progress. The UGC has sanctioned computer centre for the University which is running satisfactorily in the University department of Mathematics. The University strongly feels that the vocational courses need to be promoted in bigger way skillfully coordinated with growing needs and aspiration of the coming generation. The modern world is becoming increasingly interdependent and globally connected. The young generation cannot afford to isolate in its local environment which itself is becoming cross cultural and which also crosses national boundaries in almost all spheres in human society. The University for over a decade has also been providing facilities in Distance mode through its centre for Distance Education for the benefit of the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur – 842001 Page 4 NAAC – SELF STUDY REPORT deprived sections of the society. It caters to the needs of thousands of students of the northern and eastern part of the country. The academic staff college of the University organize ‘refresher’ and ‘orientation’ courses for young teachers and it has its own reputation for its quality and excellence. The young teachers all over country participate in good manner. The University in its golden jubilee year has constructed grand auditorium, unique in itself in the whole of north Bihar. The University has the facility of well equipped Central Library to cater to the needs of the teachers, students and researchers. The teachers and the students of this University are actively engaged in research work and a number of projects have been sanctioned by UGC, ICMR, Planning Board and national agencies. In order to ensure quality of research, the University has introduced pre-registration test for students desirous of getting registration for the award of the Ph.D. degree. The University is well set to celebrate its diamond jubilee. The University wishes to offer itself for assessment and accreditation by NAAC in order to assess its strength as well as its weakness and move ahead with renewed vigour towards brighter future. I firmly believe that unexamined life either of an individual or of an institution is not worth living. I hope, the proposed assessment and accreditation by NAAC will provide greater opportunities and potentialities to the University to achieve its pious goal and come upto the hopes and expectations of the students, teachers and the whole of the state of Bihar in particular.
