I have great pleasure in presenting the 2018-2019 Annual Report of the Central University of Tamil
Nadu (CUTN). The brilliant Greek orator of Athenian Golden Age Thucydides has rightly observed, “What you leave behind is not what is engraved on stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others” Ten years ago, the foundation of the Central University of Tamilnadu was laid on 30.9.2009. Today, it has blossomed as a premier university, renowned for its significant contributions in Teaching, Research and Extension. On this happy occasion of the completion of Ten Years, we, who are fortunate to serve this great institution at this momentous time, rededicate ourselves to work better for the promotion of Quality Higher Education for All. A period of 10 years is significant in the history of an educational institution. The Central University of Tamilnadu has PROF. A. P. DASH played a noteworthy role in meeting the knowledge needs and research needsVICE at - CHANCELLOR the national and international levels over a period of ten years of time. Perhaps the ten year old and yet modern of the Centre of Learning in the Southern part of our country, it is now looking back with pride, the path
it has traversed over a decade.The achievements of the past drive us to greater enthusiasm, not into complacency that prevents greater achievements in the years to come. For us, Every Academic Year remains a clarion call to the progress that lies ahead; for, what the caterpillar thinks is the end
of the world, the Master calls a butterfly. With the active support of my colleagues in teaching and administration, I am delighted to note that, we indeed have done remarkably well during the last year.
The Central University of Tamil Nadu has a rich and wideDR. academic S. BHUVANESWARI profile. CM TheA. V. PALANIUniversity offers DR. A. RAGUPATHY one under-graduate programme, six integrated programmes, REGISTRAR21 post graduate FINANCE programmes, OFFICER CONTROLLER 14 OF EXAMINATIONS M.Phil. Programmes, 21 Ph.D. Programmes and one P.G. Diploma Programme through the twenty six departments of twelve schools. Also one under graduate programe and eight post graduate programmes are offered through Madras school of Economics, Chennai and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International school of Textiles Management, Coimbatore, who have MOU with CUTN. The CUTN also has MoU with Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology (IIFPT), Tanjavur (Govt. of India) and Central Institute of Classical Tamil (CICT), Chennai (MHRD, Govt. of India). The gender profile of the University shows a rosy picture of the equity in the campus, in terms of the gender ratio, with around 60% female students. As many as 55% of students are from other states with diversified nativity from 23 States and Union Territories of India which includes Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Manipur, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttara Khand, Maharastra, New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Haryana, Orissa, Puducherry, Arunachal Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgar, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir. They represent a microcosm of this great country and in their collective presence, they show us, in miniature, what this country could be if it lives up to its extraordinary potential. Central University of Tamil Nadu
This new University, within a short time since its inception, could publish papers in reputed and high impact journals like Nature, Lancet Infectious Diseases and Lancet. The research publications of CUTN have achieved the H-index of 27, i-10 index 684, Total Impact factor- 594, Highest Impact factor- 59.102 and Average Impact factor- 2.14. As many as 125 papers were published in UGC listed journals, 15 papers were published in International journals along with 4 books in the last year. An amount of 2.25 crores has been obtained as Research Grant for Extra-Mural Funding. Thus, the CUTN is contributing well, as a top Institution leading in research among the new Central Universities, established after 2009. The Central University of Tamil Nadu instituted NCC on its campus and launched Platoon No. 5 and 6 of 2(P) Independent COY under the NCC Karaikal jurisdiction on its campus.The Swachhta Pakhwara (fort night) programme was observed at the University and as a part of it, the NSS student-volunteers had made all efforts to make CUTN a complete clean institution.The CUTN has contributed for immediate relief work of the Gaja Cyclone victims also contributed for the Post Flood Rehabilitation Works in Kerala. We have given importance to the principle of inclusive growth, with due priorities for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Minorities, and for Women, First Generation learners and the disadvantaged segments of the rural population. In the years to come, the CUTN will play a pivotal role in making available skilled workforce necessary for the success of ambitious programmes of the Government, such as Digital India, Skill India, Clean India and, most importantly, Make in India. I must gratefully record here the unstinting cooperation and support from the Ministry of Human Resource Development and the University Grants Commission and other connected agencies like DST, DBT, which helped us enormously in making the developments mentioned during this period. I would like to attribute the achievements of our University to the Members of the Court, Executive Council, Academic Council and the passionately committed Faculty, Staff and Students, who stood behind the University as a solidly united Team and made its vision a reality. I thank them for their wonderful contribution during 2018-19 and, with confidence, look forward to making greater achievements in the year ahead. Let me conclude with a note of bubbling optimism drawn from Robert Browning:

78 CHAPTER 4 SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF TAMIL DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT OF HINDI DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Central University of Tamil Nadu DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH STUDIES 1.PREAMBLE Started in 2009 Programmes offered: M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. Vision and Thrust areas of the Department: Vision The Department of English Studies sets out to fashion a platform for radical thinking about language, literature and culture which would ultimately ring in a more liberated and holistic world view where all its stakeholders realize their optimal potential. This will come to pass through a critical understanding of the texts, authors, themes, and genres that constitute the constantly evolving idea of the “literary” within the specific domain of English Studies as well as the broader arena of the Humanities. By fostering an awareness of the increasingly inter-disciplinary and inter-cultural nature of academic scholarship, in terms of both subject and method, the Department aims to promote and hone in the students a spirit of debate and inquiry necessary for understanding the strengths and the challenges of “doing” English Studies in our times.
Thrust Areas: Literary Theory, Indian and Western Philosophy, Indian Writing in English, Aesthetics and Literary Criticism, Canadian Literature, Cultural Studies. Unique feature of the department
The Department offers its postgraduate students a uniquely balanced exposure to writings from both the canon of Euro-American literature and from Indian and other postcolonial cultural contexts, as well as trains them in inter-disciplinary methods of research through a variety of elective courses.
It also organizes weekly seminars in which speakers from various disciplines deliver open lectures and deliberate on issues that awaken interest in the role of the humanities in the larger domain of research. The English Literary Association organizes periodic co-curricular and cultural events that serve as a platform for students to showcase their creative writing, speaking and performative skills. 2.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Background of the Community College Scheme
COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Background of the Community College Scheme Central University of Tamil Nadu COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Background of the Community College Scheme Education plays an important role in the holistic development of human beings as well as the nation. There is a worldwide shift from conventional educational system to competence based qualification system. India, at present, is recognized as one of the youngest nation in the world with over 50 per cent of the population under the age of 30 years. In order to harness the full demographic dividend, India needs an educational system which is of high quality, affordable, flexible and relevant to the individuals, economy and to the society as a whole. With a view to make the skills acquired by the learner’s acceptable nationality, the curricula and system of certification should align with the National Occupational Standards. In order to facilitate offering of nationality standardised skill related programmes, the Government of India has notified the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) on 27th December 2013. It permits individuals to accumulate their knowledge and skills and convert them, through testing and certification by the competent authorities, into higher level of certification which could be a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, a degree or a PG diploma in common parlance. In this background, the Community College was set up to serve multiple needs including: ++ Career oriented education and skills to students interested in directly entering the workforce ++ Training and education programmes for local employers ++ High touch remedial education for secondary school students not ready to enroll in traditional colleges, giving them a path to transfer to three or four year institutions and ++ General interest courses to the community for personal development and interest. Objectives: 1. To make higher education relevant the learner and the community 2. To integrate relevant skills into the higher education system 3. To provide skills based education to students currently perusing higher education but actually interested in entering the workforce at the earliest opportunity. 4. To provide employable and certificate skills based on National Occupational Standards (NOSs) with necessary general education to senior secondary school pass-outs, with general education and/or vocational education background. 5. To provide for upgradation and certification of traditional / acquired skills of the learners irrespective of their age. 6. To provide opportunities for community- based life-long learning by offering courses of general interest to the community for personal development and interest. 7. To provide opportunity for vertical mobility to move to higher education in future. 8. To offer bridge courses to certificate holders of general / vocational education, so as to bring them at par with appropriate NSOF level.
