Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University

Perspective Plan 2019-2024

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The focus of this plan is on harnessing the local resources while taking into consideration the social and technical needs of the various geographical areas covered under the jurisdiction of the University. This perspective plan also reflects feedback from the various stakeholders.

In order to address the issues of increasing GER (@5% p.a.) specially Talukas having comparatively low GER and also the issue of inclusivity, the plan makes provision for 09 Professional Colleges and 56 Non Professional colleges including 20 for women and 06 evening colleges. For making improvement in employability and entrepreneurship 204 new skill based Degree, Post Graduation, Diploma and Certificate courses are proposed to be started by 2024.Similarly, existing courses will be revamped to incorporate the necessary skill component. In order to enhance the quality and delivery of Education, University is targeting accreditation of 417 colleges by NAAC/NBA and academic audit of all the teaching Departments of the University, conducted and affiliated colleges. For decentralization of University administration3 satellite centers, one at each District Headquarters will be established. An attempt would also be made to provide autonomy to 4 Departments and 30 Colleges. For strengthening University-Industry partnership it is proposed to engage various departments of the University with around 48 industries for Research and Development activities and to establish 10 incubation centers in the jurisdiction of the University.

Teachers of the various Departments and colleges would be motivated to encourage for undertaking quality and socially relevant research which in turn would be able to get registered for patenting their research work. By 2024, it is expected that 145 patents would be granted and 141 patents would be published. University aims to secure a place between 1-50 in the ranking by NRIF. University is determined to play very active and positive role in improving the quality of administration in the local bodies for the purpose of lifting the standard of living of the people and ensuring the delivery of benefits of various Governmental schemes. As an aspect of this, University will increase the number of adopted villages from present 350 to 500. In order to preserve, promote and protect the rich culture, traditions and languages of Vidarbha 19 new courses, 04 new centers and 09 new students’ clubs are proposed to be initiated.

It is proposed to declare the university exam results within 31 days of completion of the examination. The University and its affiliated colleges have targeted around 350 Placement Cells benefitting more than 30,000 students.

2.1 Improvement in GER in a given region

Current GER in Contribution of Increment Name of district district as per RTMNU in current targeted by 2024 AISHE GER Nagpur 55.81 % 25.69 % 7.10 Wardha 29.50 % 23.99 % 6.62 Bhandara 21.19 % 27.27 % 7.53 Gondia 15.29 % 19.90 % 5.50

Total 39.80 % 24.75 % 6.83

Note: 1. Target GER by 2024 is calculated by compounding annual growth of 5% in GER Target GER = Current GER X (1.05)5

2. It may be noted that the calculation of GER in district is based on the number of students enrolled for various courses offered by R T M Nagpur University only and does not take in to account the students taking admissions to other universities.

Explanation :- The projected GER can be achieved by the University by taking measures to fill the seats currently remaining vacant as well as by adding some new relevant, innovative and skill oriented programs to cater to the needs of those students (especially economically and socially weaker sections, minorities, etc.) who drop out of education system due to compulsion of need to support family by doing whatever work which is available to them. The University in this regard shall strive to offer schemes of earn and learn to the students by roping in the corporate world and also some philanthropists.

2.3 IMPROVING QUALITY AND DELIVERY OF EDUCATION

Number of colleges with NAAC accreditation

Number of affiliated NAAC accredited colleges Currently NAAC accredited colleges proposed by 2024

584 130 417*

* Note :- (1) Out of total 584 colleges affiliated to the University, there are 417 colleges which are more than 10 years old. In other words 167 affiliated colleges of the University are less than 10 years old. Therefore, taking a pragmatic view of the matter, we are targeting these 417 colleges for NAAC accreditation by 2024 in a phased manner.

(2) In order to achieve the above target the University would like to adopt the Carrot and Stick Policy. Those colleges who are willing and apply for NAAC alone will be eligible for continuation of affiliation of the University and also other privileges associated with affiliation of the college with the University. Therefore, University will modify the norms of affiliation of the colleges suitably.

Number of colleges accredited with NAAC ‘A’ grade

Number of affiliated Colleges with A grade currently Proposed by 2024 colleges

130 29 88*

*As on date, total 88 colleges have a grade of ‘B’ and above. These colleges can be expected to upgrade to ‘A’ grade in the next cycle.

Number of technical programmes with NBA accreditation

Number of technical programmes Current status Envisaged by 2024 across all affiliated colleges UG Programs = 304 UG Programs = 13 Number will depend on the colleges that will remain PG Programs = 04 PG Programs = 122 affiliated with the RTM Total Programs = 426 Total Programs = 17 Nagpur University.*

* Note :- With the establishment of separate Technical University (Babasaheb AmbedkarTechnical University) in the State of Maharashtra, some of the Engineering and Technology Colleges affiliated to RTM Nagpur University may opt for affiliation with the said University. Therefore, it is difficult to make any commitment for ensuring the accreditation of programs offered by these colleges by 2024 i.e. the period of the perspective plan.

Number of technical programmes accredited with Tier I (WA) under NBA

Number of technical programmes Current status Envisaged by 2024 across all affiliated colleges Number will depend on the colleges that will remain 23 51 affiliated with the RTM Nagpur University.*

* Note :- With the establishment of separate Technical University (Babasaheb Ambedkar Technical University) in the State of Maharashtra, some of the Engineering and Technology Colleges affiliated to RTM Nagpur University may opt for affiliation with the said University. Therefore, it is difficult to make any commitment for ensuring the accreditation of programs offered by these colleges by 2024 i.e. the period of the perspective plan.

2.5 ENGAGEMENT WITH REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ASPIRATIONS

Even now the University is actively involved in regional economic development and aspirations of the local people by adopting and addressing the problems affecting the communities inhabiting the villages through the NSS unit of the University. As on date 208 villages have been adopted by NSS unit of the University in discharge of its social obligation. Notable contribution of this initiative of the University is in terms of Gram Unnati Abhiyan, Jal Yukt Shiwar and other rural development programs. In addition to these programs of NSS unit, the conducted and affiliated law colleges of the University have been conducting legal awareness and legal aid camps every year. Large number of faculty members and students has been participating in this noble cause. This program whereas on one hand provides opportunities to the students of the university to understand the real life problems of the communities on the other hand has proved to be a boon for the rural people as it has helped in providing legal solutions to the community free of cost.

The present perspective plan provides the university an opportunity to plan for more aggressive and intensive engagement with local communities, local bodies, statutory bodies, government authorities as spelt out in the following tables

2.6 DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The present perspective plan shall be putting emphasis on development of skills of the students pursuing degree, diploma or post graduate courses in the University and its affiliated colleges, recognizing the fact that significant number of students graduating from the University is non- employable for want of appropriate skills required by industries. In order to achieve this objective a two pronged strategy will be adopted.

Firstly, University will start several skill oriented degree and post graduate courses like B.Voc and M.Voc. For this purpose the University may, if necessary, will establish a Vocational Training Institute (VTI) or give recognition under the relevant provisions of the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016 to the existing private VTI’s promoting them to start new skill based programs designed by the University.

Secondly, University will undertake a massive program of revamping the existing courses in the university with a view to integrate skill as a predominant component, through various Boards of Studies of the University. An alternative to this approach would be to allow students to opt for ad-on skill based courses as per the natural instincts of the students by giving him/her the additional credits for these ad-on courses without burdening those students who do not wish to study or improve his skills and allowing him/her to pursue pure theoretical knowledge which is by and large the scenario in the present traditional courses. One needs to bear in mind the fact that almost all the professional courses like B.E., B.Tech., MBA, B.Ed., LL.B are the skill oriented courses. In all these courses skill is a necessary component. However, the fact remains that majority of the graduates of these courses are found to poorly possess the expected and necessary skill, diminishing the value of these courses and also the degree holders. Therefore, it shall be the endeavour of the University to redesign these courses and also to change the methodology of teaching and learning with a view to enhance the minimum level of skills of the graduates of these courses.

The University plans to establish three (03) incubation centres (01 in the University and 02 in the colleges) and by collaborating with the leading entrepreneur(s) of the city of Nagpurthe knowledge generated in the University through the research carried out in the university will be put to commercial use generating employment opportunities in the society.

3. RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND DATA

The Perspective plan of the University for the Period 2019-2024 has been prepared by keeping in mind the provisions of Section 107 of the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016. The primary and secondary data collected from various sources are extensively utilized for identifying courses and establishing new colleges, satellite and other centres, keeping in mind the resource endowments of those regions. The primary data has been collected by circulating questionnaire amongst various stakeholders of the University like students, teachers, principals, management of colleges, Government Officials, parents, representatives of people, captains of industries, member of authorities of the University and the officials. The suggestions received from these respondents (Annexure XI) form the basis for various proposals like new courses (Annexure XIII), research and development, incubation centre, placement cell, linkages with industries and so on in the present perspective plan.

As can be seen from Annexure II all the four districts within the jurisdiction of the University have the GER which is less than the national average GER. Further there are certain talukas within each district where the GER is less than the average GER for the District (Annexure II). The perspective plan tries to address these issues by making provisions for new colleges at places which have comparatively low GER (Annexure XV). The provision for location of new colleges apart from addressing the issue of low GER takes into consideration the needs of the students at places where the enrolment of student is beyond the intake capacity necessitating grant of permission of additional intake.

As evident from Annexure XV no provision is made for new colleges for courses where seats are remaining vacant like the course for engineering. Annexure XV also demonstrates that while deciding course for new colleges, emphasis is placed on skill and entrepreneurship development. Indeed the underlying theme of the entire perspective plan has been skill and entrepreneurship development. Therefore the plan makes provision for establishment of incubation centres, incorporating internship/field visits as a compulsory component of even the existing courses and all new courses proposed are intended to have development of skill of students as their objective. In deciding the target for industrial linkages through MOUs the nature of existing industries as revealed by Annexure VII&VIII are borne in mind.

Many of the new courses proposed in the present perspective plan are decided by keeping in mind the profile of the local resources (Annexure IX) and local industries (Annexure VI, VII and VIII). In addition to the courses, Degree, Post Graduation, Diploma and Certificate which could be offered by any of the affiliated colleges, some short term skill based courses as enumerated in Annexure XIII shall be offered by the Departments/Centres of the University. While deciding R & D partnership and also, to some extent, the key research areas (Annexure XIV) the needs of local industries, both existing and proposed, mirrored in Annexure VI, have been kept in mind.

As can be seen from Annexure IV, the Narked taluka followed by Kuhi in the district of Nagpur, Deoli followed by Ashti, Karanja and Samudrapur in the district of Wardha, Mohadi taluka followed by Lakhandur in the district of Bhandara and Salekasa taluka, followed by Goregaon in the district of Gondia are the hotspots of population living below the poverty line. Therefore, while granting permission to start skill based courses preference shall be given to these areas and also there would be positive intervention through the colleges located in the areas. Some social programs like “Shetkari Melawa” can also be organized. University will encourage the colleges of these areas to establish Vocational Training Institutes for imparting skill to the local people.

Major industries likely to be established by 2024 are indicated in Annexure V considering the types of industries and service related activities, University proposes association of departments and its affiliated colleges to start skill based courses related to the major industries. For example courses on Food technology, Disaster Management, Urban Studies etc. will be initiated by the University.

The present perspective plan does not leave local art and culture out of its consideration (Annexure X). Hence sets the target of preservation, protection and promotion of local art and culture as its objective. Therefore appropriate measures by way of establishment of student clubs/groups are provided.

All in all the present Perspective Plan can be said to the mirror of needs and aspirations of the society and makes higher education relevant and connected to the said needs. This can prove to be the game changer.

MAJOR ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

 Significantly lower GER as compared to national GER vis-a-vis the GER of Maharashtra.  Notable deviations in GERs of various Talukas.  Widespread geographical jurisdiction of the University.  The state of poor economic development.  Lack of industrial development resulting in insufficient employment opportunities.  Migration of students to bigger cities for higher education.  Developing infrastructure in tune with the modern higher education system.  Insufficient number of accredited colleges and institutions in the region.  Establishing link between availability of local resources and harnessing these resources with the help of existing education system.

4. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN

In order to address the issues of increasing GER (@5% p.a.) specially talukas having comparatively low GER and also the issue of inclusivity, the plan makes provision for 09 Professional Colleges and 56 Non Professional colleges including 20 for women and 06 evening colleges (Annexure XV). For making improvement in employability and entrepreneurship 204 new skill based Degree, Post Graduation, Diploma and Certificate courses are proposed to be started by 2024 (Annexure XVI).Similarly, existing courses will be revamped to incorporate the necessary skill component.

Apart from the provision for new affiliated colleges as mentioned above, the University proposes to establish following Institutions offering various courses.

1. SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES:

The University proposes to establish a School of Environmental Studies as a multi-faculty school in the year 2019-20, offering various post-graduate courses enumerated below:

1. M. Sc. (Environmental Science) – Faculty of Science & Technology 2. MA (Environmental Economics) – Faculty of Humanities 3. MA (Environmental Management) – Faculty of Humanities 4. M. Sc. (Disaster Management) – Faculty of Science & Technology

Rationale/justification-

Although, a lot of environment related subjects and courses are taught in various faculties, a separate division dedicated to the teaching and research of environment related subjects is needed. Hence, the University proposes to establish this separate school which shall offer various environment studies related courses offered under various faculties.

2. COMMUNITY COLLEGE:

The University proposes to establish a Community College intended to promote local art, culture and craftsmanship in the year 2019-20, offering various courses like –

 Diploma in Bakery and Confectionary  Diploma in Pottery and Utensils  Diploma in Wood Art

Rationale/Justification –

There are various communities in and around the jurisdiction of the University possessing traditional knowledge, skills and art but acquiring these skills and art in either inherent ways or informal manner. The purpose of this college is to provide a formal education platform for such communities to acquire relevant skills in formal way and exploit the effective commercialisation techniques.

5. STRATEGIES AND MODES OF IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 NEW LOCATIONS (proposed by 2024) • Talukas with the lowest GER

– Hingna :- 02 Colleges including 01 women’s College – Ashti :- 01 College – Tumsar :- 04 including 01 women’s College, 01 Evening & 01 Professional college – Tiroda :- 02 Colleges including 01 women’s College

• Apart from above mentioned colleges, it is proposed to establish 09 Professional Colleges and 48 Non-Professional colleges including 18 for women and 06 evening colleges at Talukas and District Places where the demand is more than sanctioned intake.

Locations proposed for 2019-2024 are given in Annexure XIV

Rationale/justification-

While preparing the inventory of new courses, which the University proposes to introduce in the coming five years through its institutions of higher education, the relevant factors like available resources, traditional skills of the natives, established industries in the region have been taken in to account. Therefore, while making selection of new locations of the colleges and courses in the yearly perspective plan of the University the above mentioned factors shall be borne in mind. Further care will be taken to enhance the GER of the locations where they are extremely at the low level as demonstrated in the accompanying annexure. It is believed that the inequalities in the social and economic development of a particular region are primarily due to the access to need based education.

In this perspective plan an attempt has been made to identify the short and long term courses which would help the individuals for developing their learning skills and abilities to perform specific economic activities. Entry in higher education depends on the results of HSSC, and intake capacity of the higher learning education institutes. Information relating to these aspects is collected and analysed to decide the new locations.

It is realised that if area relevant courses, which can enhance the employability of the graduates, are introduced coupled with the mechanisms for quality education, it could go a long way in arresting the menace of migration to urban areas. Therefore, having realised the potential of higher education as a tool to mitigate the problem of migration which apart from creating stress on the urban infrastructure has the effect of disruption of culture, the strategy and policy with regard to location of colleges and introduction or addition of the different levels and types of courses in the University is adopted with the view to address the issue of migration also.

It would be more relevant to examine the occupancy rate of existing intake capacity of various colleges located in these regions of the University jurisdiction. However, while considering the allotment of these courses to the various talukas, the relevance and importance of traditional courses cannot be overlooked. In deciding about the location of colleges and courses the opinions of various stakeholders such as parents, students, teachers, principals, collected through a structured questionnaire has been taken in to account. Lastly the norms regarding location of colleges prescribed by the State Government, while allocating colleges and courses to the applicant societies in terms of the provisions of this Perspective Plan, shall also be taken in to account.

Strategies to boost enrolment-

This plan proposes to pay focused attention to skill development and vocational courses to facilitate job oriented education. This is expected to control the drop out of students from higher education stream and enhance the Gross Enrolment Ratio in these areas, in particular and at University level, in general.

5.2 EQUITY

Equal opportunity cells: Presently the status of equal opportunity cells is 01 in University and 628 in affiliated colleges. By 2024, additionally 03 University Departments and 32 aided colleges will have equal opportunity cells.

Facilities for physically challenged persons: Currently 45 University Departments and 65 affiliated colleges have partial facilities for physically challenged students/staff. By 2024, 45 Departments and 100 affiliated colleges will have full facilities. In addition, 05 Departments and 35 colleges will have partial facilities viz; Ramps, Toilets, Wheel Chairs, Lift, Writers for

24 visually impaired examinees, electronic audio and video notice boards, sign boards, white canes, braille literature (Scanty), etc

Facilities for Tribal students: Currently there is an exclusive hostel facility for tribal student. By 2024, four more schemes will be added, 1) Facilitation Centre 2) Counselling Centre 3) Sports and Culture Centre and 4) Tribal Students Club.

Schemes for economically/socially challenged students: University and affiliated Colleges have a scheme for economically and socially challenged students from social welfare Department, the current beneficiaries are 50 students, however, University is planning to extend it for 100 students.

Schemes for transgender: At present there is no scheme for transgender, however, the University is planning to initiate programme ‘SWEEKRUTI’ in order to create awareness among students and mentor transgender students.

5.3 NEW COURSES

The University proposes following new courses as mentioned in ANNEXURE XIII.

Undergraduate Courses - 05 Post Graduate Courses - 02 Diploma Courses - 28 Certificate Courses - 17

In addition to the above courses which can be sanctioned for the affiliated colleges, the post graduate teaching departments and other centres of the University will be offering 81 new skill- oriented courses as enumerated in Annexure XII.

5.4 MODIFICATION/REVISION OF THE EXISTING COURSES TO MAKE THEM ORIENT TO THE OBJECTIVES

With the introduction of Choice Based Credit System in the University, presently at the post- graduate level and shortly at the under-graduate level also, it has become necessary to review and reconstruct all the existing courses in the University appropriately. With the establishment of the Boards of Studies in the University as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016, the task of modification of the courses will be entrusted to the respective boards. In addition to reforms I the existing courses to make them compatible with the CBCS, the opportunity will be exploited to put an emphasis upon practical components as well as research components, balancing with the theoretical aspects of the courses. The broad object behind modification of the existing courses shall be to identify the socio, economic, political and cultural issues affecting the socio-economic and cultural development of the region and to provide the practical and viable solutions to those problems. It is also the intention to make the students and teachers of the University as agents of a positive change and the University as a centre of society’s hopes and aspirations which is the mandate of the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016.

It is a fact that out of more than 500 colleges which are affiliated to the University, around 50% of the colleges are having single faculty course creating serious and severe impediment in implementing the CBCS. As a solution to this practical problem, the University proposes to create Clusters of Colleges, each cluster comprising colleges representing, as far as possible, all the faculties of the University.

5.5 IMPLEMENTATION OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

Implementation of Choice based credit system by 2024 on year to year basis:

1. This scheme will be introduced only for non professional undergraduate courses.

2. The implementation will take place in a phased manner that is to say it will be first implemented in the faculty of Humanities and then in the remaining three faculties.

3. The necessary preparation by way of thorough revision of existing undergraduate courses will be undertaken in the year 2019-20.

4. The choice based credit system in the faculty of Humanities will be introduced in the academic session 2020-21.

5. The scheme will be implemented in the remaining three faculties from the year 2020- 21by taking into consideration the difficulties experienced in implementing the scheme in the faculty of Humanities.

Rationale/justification:

1. Though it is beset with some difficulties associated with the local social and cultural conditions, implementation of CBCS in all the under graduate courses of the University for all the students has become necessary for the faithful implementation of the national and state educational policies.

2. In order to make the educational system flexible, CBCS will provide Cafeteria Approach for the selection of the subjects from various disciplines. The core area of study selected by the student can also be further sharpened if; additional inputs are provided from other disciplines.

3. CBCS will take care of multiple interest areas which students possess and can help to cultivate their interest areas with the help of this system.

The CBCS mechanism shall be helpful for students in respect, it will provide more opportunities to the students to opt for various vocational/skill based courses and enhances their employability.

Strategies to boost enrolment-

1. Various Board of Studies shall be entrusted with the responsibility of designing courses based on the local resources and employment potential for various districts under the jurisdiction of University.

2. The Board of Studies shall also define the learning outcomes and employment opportunities provided by each such course. The same shall be made available in the public domain (University’s Website).

3. Awareness Programs for various stakeholders such as students and teachers shall be organised at district level. This shall address the primary concerns of these stakeholders and inform them about various benefits of CBCS mechanism.

Other details of implementation-

1. All the teachers of University and affiliated colleges shall also be made aware of the availability and benefits of such courses by conducting training programs at various venues in each district.

2. The responsibility of evaluation of such courses shall be entrusted to respective colleges / University Departments. This shall facilitate the effective delivery and speedy evaluation without creating additional burden of the examination and evaluation department of the University.

3. An independent database of related industry professionals shall be built up to facilitate effective implementation of such courses and to ensure desired outcome.

4. The responsibility for monitoring the implementation of CBCS shall be entrusted to the Perspective Plan Monitoring Committee created at the University level.

5.6 TRAIN THE TRAINERS

In order to make the teaching-learning process effective, teachers/trainers are expected to update their knowledge and skills with regard to teaching contents, teaching methods and rapidly changing learning needs and approaches of students. Continuous changes are taking place in the higher education system and lack of awareness relating to the linking of theory with practice is posing a major threat in making higher education relevant. Critics are pointing out that the existing education system is far away from the practical life and creates impediments in producing employable and job-ready students. The present mechanism for training of teachers, unfortunately, does not take these aspects into consideration and is either voluntary or linked to the promotions and increments of teachers.

A structured and objective driven approach for training of teachers/trainers in higher education need to be devised. This perspective plan proposes to devise such a mechanism in the following manner:

Training Need Assessment (TNA) The University shall conduct a structured survey every year for all its teachers and the teachers of affiliated colleges to identify the training needs of teachers at various cadres.

Training Programmes The training programmes with regard to updation of teaching skills, newer and innovative teaching pedagogies, use of ICT in teaching, learner centric teaching, enhancing research aptitude, etc. shall be designed. This plan proposes that the duration of the training programmes shall depend on the contents of the programmes. However, it is suggested that a training programme shall not address more than two objectives at a time. Although, the successful completion of training programmes is linked with other statutory compliances, the awareness regarding need and benefits of attending such programmes need to be spread among the teaching community.

5.7 DEVELOPING APPROPRIATE R&D CULTURE

Linking of theoretical knowledge with practical approach is one of the ways of creating R & D culture. University and college education provide platform to develop appropriate R & D culture. As the focus of this perspective plan is to harness the local resources and local potential there is a need to get involved in the research and developmental activities relating to community, local self government and sectoral economic activities. Developing case studies, analysing success stories of specific region, understanding research projects are the ways through which R & D culture can be developed. Micro level planning is utmost necessary for achieving speedy development of the region. It is realised that every region has its own special problems and requires specific solutions. Researches undertaken at some other places cannot be implemented for tackling the local problems. ‘One size does not fit all’ needs to be kept in mind for developing appropriate R & D culture. Problems relating to cotton growing farmers, paddy cultivators cannot be handled by analysing the problems of sugarcane growing farmers. Preparation of project reports, dissertations by the students of various disciplines remained as formalities and at many places creates obstacles in framing suitable policies. Appropriate R & D culture can be developed in the following manner:

 Field Visits to be organised at undeveloped regions of the University’s jurisdiction  Identification of the problems of local communities  Researches relating to Agrarian Distress where inter disciplinary researches can be undertaken. Specific problems relating to development of industrialisation, agro-based industries encouragements can be studied.  Problem solving methods developed by local farmers can also be studied.

There are broad areas that can help to create R & D culture at the local level. Language should not remain a barrier to express the problems analysed by the students and teachers. Sufficient freedom relating to use of language need to be provided for developing local research culture.

STRATEGIES

In order to enhance and strengthen linkages of University with the major, medium and small scale industries of the region, the University bearing in mind the fact that linkages with industries, including the service sector, being of pivotal importance in the present perspective plan, would like to adopt a multipronged strategy which would include the below mentioned steps. :- a) University will create a dedicated platform for a periodical, intense and focused interaction with the industry in order to understand the expectations and aspirations of the industry from the University. This arrangement will give an opportunity to the University to reflect upon its curriculum from the perspective of needs of the industry so that those curricula are appropriately modified within the limits permitted by the prescriptions of the governing apical bodies. b) University will undertake the massive exercise of entering into MOUs with the industry for the purpose of supplying interns to the industry. This opportunity to the students of the university whereas on one hand will give them a privilege of observing the processes of the industry from the close quarters helping them to learn and sharpen their skills, on the other hand will provide to the students to earn some money, though small in amount yet sufficient to instil in the mind of the student the sense of being self sufficient. This arrangement will indirectly be helping the students to live a dignified life. c) Another aspect of MOU with the industry will be identification of problems of the industry, may be regarding the process of manufacturing or management, which will provide research problems for various departments of the University, which in turn may result in acquisition of intellectual properties for the University and the industry. d) For defining the contours of linkages with the industry, University will arrange, if found necessary, workshops, symposiums and seminars involving industries of the region. e) The above enumerated strategies are by way of addition and complimentary to the statutory mechanism of the advisory council involving the captains of the industry and non-government organizations which is expected to guide the university in strengthening its linkages with industries and other sectors of the society. f) University and Industry linkage can further be strengthened by providing e-platform.

5.9 Engagement with local regions

The University and affiliated colleges are involved in social programmes and implementation of governmental schemes. Specific schemes are (1) Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (2) Unnaat Maharashtra Abhiyan, (3) Jalayukta Shivar, (4) Swatch Bharat Abhiyan, (5) Training teachers of Zilla Parishad schools, and (6) Awareness of e-governance. Efforts are also made to improve economy of local regions with knowledge interventions. Some schemes of this type undertaken by the university are (1) Training of farmers, (2) Promotion of tourism, (3) standardisation and validation of products and practices of traditional healers, (4) Analyses of Production Cost and Revenue of selected Cash Crop in Yavatmal District and (5) Study of the Dairy Development Initiatives in Wardha District.

During 2019-2024, the University targets to identify and engage around 55 Colleges, with enhanced participation of minimum 55 faculties and 2750 Students for engagements in To encourage and motivate wholehearted participation by the faculty members, a suitable modification in the norms relating to the API score for the purpose of their Career Advancement shall also be undertaken. Further in order to encourage the students to participate in these projects some incentive marks/internal marks shall be awarded by suitably modifying the directions governing the courses to which the students belong.

The University through its incubation centre would like to develop new ideas regarding utilization of the local resources especially natural resources by seeking co-operation and co- ordination with local industrialists. As has been mentioned elsewhere in this perspective plan various departments of the University like Department of Fine Arts, Department of Travel and Tourism, Mass Communication, Ancient Indian History and Culture, Sociology would be given specific mandates and targets for exploitation of the human and cultural resources of the region.

5.10 Development of Skills and Entrepreneurship

The university has proposed new 42 skill/entrepreneurship courses. The university and affiliated colleges currently conduct 47 skill courses. Thus, the total number of skill/entrepreneurship courses will be 89 during the perspective plan period (Annexure XII).

As regards the mandatory internship, currently all professional courses have mandatory internship/in-plant training for 2 to 6 months. Non-professional PG and UG courses do not have mandatory internship as of now. University proposes to include mandatory internship for PG Non-professional courses (1 month in 3rd and 4th semester) and UG courses (1 month in the final semester).

University currently has no incubation centre, however, efforts are being made to establish an incubation centre under MSINS, Ministry of Skill Development, GoM. There exist 01 incubation centre at Ramdeo Baba College of Engineering and Management. By 2024, 09 more affiliated colleges will establish incubation centres.

As regards the placement cells, currently there are 110 cells in university and affiliated colleges. This number will be raised to 350 by 2024 thereby expanding the number of students to over 30,000.

5.11 Making University a Cultural Power house

Currently the university conducts 14 courses on Fine Art/Performing Art/Travel and Tourism. During 2019-2024, 19 more courses will be added. The university has proposed new 04 centres for study/preservation of local history/art/culture. These newly proposed centres are

(1) Regional Research Centre to preserve local and regional History

(2) Centre for Ancient History, Culture and Archaeology

(3) Centre for Study in political anthropology

(4) Centre for Centre for Endangered and Lesser Known Languages

5.12 Students’ Welfare

 In the first year of the plan attempt will be made to establish counselling and guidance centres in 20 new colleges (i.e. the colleges which do not have such centres). This will also augment the number of students counselled and guided per year. The target for the first year will be minimum 15,000 students.  In the very first year of the plan University will try to identify the colleges where training for competitive examinations can be started and motivate the students to prepare for various competitive examinations.  The above enumerated strategies will be repeated for the subsequent years of the plan taking stock of the achievements of the first year.

5.13 Sports

The students of the university have excelled in athletics, badminton, swimming and shooting. Specific high achievements at national games in the last 4 years are:

 Gold : Marathon (W), Athletic 400 m Run (W), Athletic 800 m Run (W)  Silver : Athletics 800 m, 10000 m, Badmintom (W), Wresling (M)  Bronze : 10000 m Run, Judo (W), Decathlon, Swimming (M), Shooting (M), Badminton (W)

University shall try to identify the areas and the colleges from where there is no or negligible participation in sports competition. This will help in increasing participation of students at various levels. In this regard, the efforts will be made to make available the necessary facilities which will help in attracting the students to participate in sports.

5.14 DEVELOPMENT OF KEY RESEARCH AREAS WHICH BRING NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL VISIBILITY

Key research areas identified for 2019-2024 is given in annexure XII. The university has developed sufficient competence in these areas of research. The areas which are identified are the thrust areas representing the needs of the society, the University therefore, intends to rope in the leading industries and research institutions of the region for undertaking research activities in the identified areas.

5.15 STRENGTHENING LINKAGES WITH INTERNATIONAL/ NATIONAL/STATE LEVEL INSTITUTES/AGENCIES

5.15.1: International Universities/Institutes

At present the University has MOU with University of Portsmouth, UK with regard to faculty exchange program for joint research programs in science and technology subjects such as material sciences, life sciences, social and cultural sciences. The University is planning to have an MOU with the University of New South Wales, Australia for the Post Graduate Academic Programs for the students to undertake their doctoral and post doctoral research (This is an initiative of the Government of Maharashtra). Further the University is also planning to have MOU with funding institutions such as IFAD (International Fund for Agricultural Development) through ICRAF (International Centre for Research in Agro Forestry) and FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) in the areas of nutritional improvement in the tribal and socio-economically poor communities of Vidarbha.

5.15.2: National Universities/Institutes

Even presently the faculties of the University are the regular resource persons in the academic programs conducted by important national institutes like National Academy of Direct Taxes (NADT), National Aluminium Research Institute (NARI), National Academy of Defence Production (NADP), Training centre of Western Coalfield Limited (WCL)and so on.

The University has also undertaken a research project for NABARD and would be continued in future also. Recently premium institutions like Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Maharashtra National Law School (MNLU Nagpur), Indian Institute of Information

Technology (IIIT) have been established in Nagpur. These institutes are eager to collaborate with our University and the process in this regard has already been set into motion. In a very future the University will have established linkages with these and other premium national universities/institution.

5.16 REFORMS IN ACADEMIC ADMINISTRATION

5.16.1: e-governance :  Presently the administration of the University represented by the establishment section, general administration section, college section, administrative section, finance department and examination section have adopted e-governance, significantly. By virtue of this notices of meetings of authorities and bodies of the university, proposals for new colleges, courses and continuation of affiliation, generation of admission cards of the students for examination, declaration of results, payments of the staff of the university, contractors etc. is being done through electronic mode. Even delivery of question papers and valuation of answer books is also being done through electronic medium. Very soon the University is going to start issuing approvals of the teachers also through electronic mode. As such e- governance is very much conspicuous in university’s administration. All this has happened because of the digital initiatives initiated by the UGC.

5.16.2: Linkages of various departments, BOS, Academic Council and affiliated colleges

 It is observed over the years that the communication gap with regard to various decisions of various bodies such as BOS, Academic Council, etc. Is prevailing and hampering the quality of decisions at these bodies. Hence, it is suggested that the University shall strive to establish a Centralised Information System which shall facilitate the stakeholders in

these bodies to have a real time access to various critical decisions affecting academic administration taken by various bodies and authorities of the University.

 An urgent need for improvement of the quality communication between the University and its affiliated colleges is observed. The University shall make an attempt to overhaul its existing web-portals being used for communication with colleges and make it more college- friendly to provide the information of various decisions to colleges without any time laps.

5.16.3: Digital initiative: Use of Swayam and National Digital Library, Creating and sharing digital resources  “SWAYAM” is already adopted in conducting the orientation courses through HRDC, in the capacity of being awarded the status of NRC.  RTMNU HRDC is selected for the refresher’s course on “Disaster Management”.  This course will be conducted by HRDC of RTMNU on SWAYAM platform with the help of National civil defence college (NCDC).  From 1st Oct to 31st March the course will be run by NRC using 20 video lectures up to 40, or 20 video lectures and 20 hours for making the course material available and interactions. This activity will be strengthened further till 2024 as per the response and changing needs of the users throughout the country.  CBCS using SWAYAM will also be implemented by the students from academic session 2019-20 onwards.

5.16.4:Uploading awards in National Academic Depository (CDSL, NSDL)  University has already adopted this and by 2024 all the academic documents of almost all ex-students will be uploaded

5.16.5: Academic audit:  This activity is regularly (Annually) conducted in all the Departments and conducted colleges. The same is now being implemented to all the affiliated colleges from 2018- 19 academic session.  By 2024 it will be a routine practice for all the affiliated colleges to get the academic audits done from the University.

5.16.6: Satellite Centres and Autonomy to departments and colleges:

 In view of the common statute governing autonomy of the colleges and the departments of the University, the University will be in a position to grant autonomy to at-least 04 departments of the University and about 30 affiliated colleges.

5.16.7: Keeping track of students going for higher studies  To keep track of the students of every college and the Department going for higher studies a suitable and appropriate mechanism will be evolved including making it mandatory for the colleges and the departments to keep the IQAC cell of the University informed in this regard.

5.16.8: Keeping track of Alumni and strengthening Alumni Association  It is a fact that presently the University has not put in place a robust system for keeping track of the alumni of the university which is very impressive and about whom the university feels proud of. Rigorous attempt will be made in a time bound manner to establish alumni association in all the departments and conducted colleges of the university and further to establish linkage with these associations. For this purpose the university may hire services of some consultants.

5.16.9: Exam reforms:  Our University is proud to claim that in the last 03 years only, it has succeeded in implementing almost all the recommendations of ‘Rajesh Agrawal committee’ and complying with the statutory mandate in respect of declaration of results of the examinations (which are more than 1000 in numbers). This timely declaration of results whereas on one hand made the life of the students comfortable as it has removed the uncertainties regarding his admission to the higher classes, appearing for the competitive examinations etc. on the other hand it has improved the quality of education by allowing the university to start its academic schedule within time giving the ideally required number of teaching days to complete the syllabus of the courses in letter and spirit.

5.16.10: Smart Campus: Saving water/energy, generating energy, managing waste

 It has been the constant endeavour of the University to save and conserve water by educating its virtue to all the stakeholders in the University especially the teaching and non-teaching staff and the students. Presently, it is in the process to implement rain water harvesting programs across all the campuses of the University. As far as, energy conservation is concerned, the same is part of the culture of the University. Like rain water harvesting, solar panels are going to be installed on all the buildings of the University. Since each campus of the University is spread over minimum 05 acres area and with construction of more than 50,000 sq. Ft area, the rain water harvesting project of the University is certainly going to save millions of litres of water. The solar energy project, when fully implemented, would generate and save 200 K.V. of energy per annum.

 In the context of managing waste, the University already has an established mechanism for collecting solid and liquid waste separately. It is proposed to have the Vermin Compost Pits across all the campuses of the University which shall not only deal with the disposal of waste but shall also provide the Compost required for use in the University gardens.

5.16.11: Reforms in financial management

 Fund Raising

The effective management of funds has always been the critical aspect of University system. In addition to the grants received from the Government, the University has an ambitious plan of raising funds through industry sponsored research and training programs. Various departments of the University are engaged in consultancy projects with local and national industries. Through this consultation University has generated revenue of Rs. 24,00,000/- This is proposed to be strengthened to generate additional funds of Rs. 1,00,000/- Another concern in this context that needs an urgent attention is effective utilisation of the idle physical and financial resources.

The University is planning to strengthen its alumni network and use the same to raise the capital assets.

 Budgeting

An emphasis shall be placed on controlling the budgetary deficit of the University and the target would be to have the deficit of less than 5% of the total budget.

 Cost Cutting

Another thrust area in this respect is curtailment of cost and reduction of wastage and pilferage. The University has already started communicating through electronic medium in some areas. This practice shall be made applicable for all the functions to reduce the paper cost and create an enviro-friendly environment.

6. DELIVERABLES

 With increase in number of colleges and courses the GER of the backward areas will be increased. This will help to arrest migration of students to urban areas.  With establishment of women colleges there will be increase in enrolment of female students, the evening colleges will ensure continuity of education of eh working class enhancing their knowledge and skill.  The compulsory audit of the affiliated colleges will help in upholding the standard of higher education.  The measure to ensure accreditation by NAAC/NBA will help in improving the infrastructure, administration and academic activities and adherence to the best practices in the existing colleges.  By establishing satellite centres and autonomous Departments/Colleges decentralization of University administration will be achieved.  By fostering R& D partnership with industry the research carried out in the University will become meaningful benefitting the industries also by way of improving their efficiency, product quality, cost cutting etc. The students and faculty members of the University and colleges will be involved in finding solutions for the real problems affecting the society. This partnership can also generate funds for the colleges and the University.

 The provision for engagement with local communities, MSMEs, local bodies can help in removing, to some extent at least, the backwardness of the region.  Engagement with local bodies will help in improving the quality of higher education imparted in the University by learning the methods and practices followed by the local communities in solving their own problems.  The emphasis on incorporating skill as the necessary component of the existing and new courses will increase the employability of the youth and also develop attitude towards entrepreneurship. This will be further strengthened by incubation centre to be established at the University and college level. This is further reinforcing by the essential of internship/ field survey for all the courses and the students.  Since the culture of the region is its identity, which is evolved over a long period, has a legitimate claim to be preserved and protected the proposal for establishment of various centres and also the students clubs/ groups will help in attainment of these objectives.  Since the Universities and their affiliated colleges are the places where students spent substantial time of their formative period of the life, it is the duty of the University to strive for the holistic development of the students so that they fulfil the aspirations of their life. The initiatives if the University in providing adequate sports facilities, conforming to the national and international standards, and also the carrier counselling centres and placement cells will help the students not only in their holistic development but also assist to secure a suitable rewarding place in the society.  Various proposals in the present perspective plan is expected to create an eco system in which every student will be able to discover his/her own natural talent and accordingly pursue his goal of the life.  In the present world of Globalization an improved ranking of the University whereas on one hand can help the students in securing better jobs on the other hand it can attract better administrators, academicians and also the students. Because of the confidence about the university created in the minds of various stakeholders. The ranking can also help the University to negotiate with or foster with confidence its relationship with reputed industries, commercial bodies, national and international institutions which in turn will again benefit all the stakeholders.
