Compiled by Ac. C Section, University of Kerala & Printed by Superintendent, Kerala University Press INTRODUCTION

The Platinum Jubilee Year 2012 of our University has been eventful with a host of developments and achievements to our credit. As the Mother University in the State, it has earned a special place in the hearts and minds of the people of Kerala. Our University established on 1st November, 1937 as the University of Travancore through a royal promulgation of His Highness Sri Chitira Thirunal Balarama Varma, the last Maharajah of the erstwhile princely State of Travancore has been the Alma Mater of several lakhs of people. The University, later renamed 'University of Kerala' in 1957, after the formation of the State of Kerala, has moulded millions of students into professionals in their respective fields. The Platinum Jubilee of the University was celebrated in a befitting manner. Academic initiatives, development activities, student welfare schemes, foreign collaborations, arts and sports festivals, seminars, lectures and a host of other programmes were organized to mark the occasion. The world has seen rapid changes in the creation and propagation of knowledge in the last few decades. The growth of information technology has led to a paradigm shift in higher education. The revolution created by the Information and Communication Technology has changed the world in the way it thinks and behaves. To keep pace with the emerging trends, the University too has introduced several transformative steps. The University introduced the School System for major Departments during the year. This umbrella system will help in the sharing of resources and will provide a platform for interdisciplinary studies and research. The new system will create a synergy between the activities of different departments. The proposed schools will be headed by a Director, appointed by the University. The different departments under the school can continue to function separately but there will be a single administration. The facilities too have to be shared among the Departments. The new system will facilitate collaborative research projects. The establishment of Learner Support Centres to conduct study programmes offered by the Institute of Distance Education is another achievement. The objective is to reach out to students all over Kerala, to popularize mass education and to realize the goal, "education for all" and to impart quality education at an affordable cost to the disadvantaged sections of the society. These Centres will help thousands of students to continue their studies and fulfill their long cherished dream. The University has introduced an on-line Admission portal to all UG Courses, which allows all UG admissions under the University on-line. The students of Kerala University will now be able to verify their mark lists on-line as a system for On-line Verification of Marklists and Degree Certificates has been launched. Students applying for higher studies and jobs abroad will be benefited by the system. The Research Portal, a single point securely hosted solution, is customized to seamlessly integrate, search and manage the research activities of the University. The Research portal will cover various aspects related to Ph.D research. It is envisaged to streamline the administrative processes involved in submitting the application, issuing registration order and the like. Application for Ph.D registration as well as submission of monthly progress report is expected to be switched over to online. The future of University education and the shape of things to come are being debated. The need of the hour is to produce graduates equipped with the right skills and required mastery. Broadening the scope of participation and providing every person the right opportunities to higher learning should be our paramount goal. In a world characterized by rapid change, it would be a difficult task to predict this with any measure of certainty. But all of us along with the well-wishers of our University can have some degree of confidence that the decisions and choices we have made today reflect the new thinking and are poised to take advantage of the immense opportunities that are opening up.

Dr. K. M. ABRAHAM I.A.S. VICE CHANCELLOR January 31, 2013 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Travancore, which later became the University of Kerala, was established in 1937 by a promulgation of the Maharaja of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was also the first Chancellor of the University.

EXAMINATIONS Noteworthy achievements were made by the Examination Wing this year in our march towards total computerization with the ardent support of the University Computer Centre. The launching of a separate Examination Portal has made the access to data related to various examinations a click away. Online enrolment and registration have been introduced for M.Tech, M.Plan, MBA, MTA, MCA, L.L.M and L.L.B examinations. Online submission of index cards by teachers have been introduced which has made the whole process easy and also speedy and this enables us to have a database of teachers easily accessible. Online verification of degree certificates and mark lists issued by the University have also been introduced. Various examination results were published without much delay and the result of first PG at affiliated colleges was published earlier than the previous year on 30.11.2012. Most of the examinations could be conducted in a time bound manner. With the support of teachers S2 & S4 PG and UG valuation camps were organized simultaneously and this enabled early publication of result of final PG examinations. Action required to revamp the revaluation process has been initiated based on the report submitted by the Sub Committee of the Syndicate constituted to study the related issues and in compliance to the directions in general, issued by the Hon'ble High Court. As a step towards more transparency, provision for the candidates to obtain photocopies of the answer books after valuation was introduced. The conduct of entrance examinations for admission to several programmes and the Ph.D course work examinations were also successfully undertaken by the Examination Wing this year. Steps towards preventing malpractice in examinations were pursued by ensuring the effective functioning of the Malpractice Prevention Squad constituted for the three regions. The Students Discipline Committee had 26 sittings and 670 cases were disposed of this year. Programmes for the improvement of infrastructural facilities in various examinations branches have been undertaken. Steps have already been initiated to modernize the processing of packing of question papers. Resources and manpower available under the annual scheme of BA/B.Sc/B.Com courses were diverted to form 7 new sections for the CBCSS Wing to cope up with the growing workload with the advancement of the courses. An additional Section was also formed in the B.Tech branch to maintain a better balance of the workload. One post of Assistant Registrar (Permanent CV Camp) and two CV Camp Sections were formed to co-ordinate and monitor all works relating to the conduct of CV Camps and to ensure that the valuation is completed in a time bound manner. The achievements of the Examination Wing, in spite of shortage of manpower faced, could be attributed only to the hard work, team spirit and dedication of the staff members of various Sections and also the cooperation extended by the teaching community.

COMPUTER CENTRE Computer Centre, University of Kerala was setup in 1977 for providing computer facilities for different research activities in the University. In the present IT era Computer Centre has taken up new challenges for IT enabling of University administration and examination activities. Computer Centre meticulously follows the principles of business process redesign as a prerequisite of IT enabling. The Centre has repositioned itself as a software development centre catering to the needs of the higher education sector of the nation. University computer centre is located near the administration block in the Palayam Campus. Computer Centre acts as a supporting division of the University in different computerization and IT enabling activities. The department provides technical support to all other sections and departments of the University. Various activities undertaken by the department includes different examination connected activities such as online process management and software development. During the current year we have focused the activities for the computerization of all examinations conducted by the University. For this, we have developed separate portals for research and examinations activities. Computerization of University Examinations Computer Centre has developed a number of software for its examination and related activities. At present, the tabulation activities of all the examinations are done using the innhouse software developed at Computer Centre. The different features available in the software include facility for online marks entry, Web based hall tickets generation, online result availability etc. Traditional way of sending hall

Section II 109 University of Kerala Annual Report 2012 tickets to colleges from the University was discarded for almost all courses. All restructured courses with vocational courses exams are also computerized. The process of computerization of CBCS examinations are moving fast. Fully Web-enabled, online Continuous Assessment (CA) and End Semester Assessment (ESA) mark entry system is introduced for different courses. Also, registration to different University examinations is now done in online way. Presently around 2 lakhs of students are using this facility. Updated Information Portal Computer Centre maintains an updated and professionally designed web site for students and colleges at www.kucc.keralauniversity.ac.in for different pre-examination and post-examination activities. The system is available to all the affiliated colleges and study centres of the University. The on-line services provided to these colleges include candidate enrollment, examination registration, hall ticket generation, nominal roll generation, attendance reporting and CA mark entry. For different online activities Computer Centre makes use of different open source software. In house UG, PG Admission software The UG online admission and allotment process is a milestone of Computer Centre, because the Centre has developed and implemented an advanced software from scratch for online admission and allotment process. Cooperating with the admission wing, Computer Centre was able to operate the whole UG and PG admission process in a centralised manner. The core area of any online process is its software. Computer centre developed this software successfully. The software can be extended to other courses such as M.Ed, B.Ed, CSS courses also. Using the software time delay, manual workload, stationery printing and postage expenses can be considerably reduced. Admission Portal of the University In the current year Computer Centre set up and launched an exclusive admission portal for the University for conducting online UG and PG admissions through a single-window system. (http:// admissions.keralauniversity.ac.in/). In the coming year admissions to all courses of the University will be done through this portal. This facility offers a flexible user j student service in a single window. This will be a land mark for the University. Research Portal of the University The University awards more than 200 research degrees every year in different disciplines. Many researchers of the University are doing their research works at different approved centres, campuses, teaching /research departments, affiliated colleges and research centres located at different places. Registration and thesis submission processes were done in the University in traditional ways. The registration process includes the processing of application, initial registration and conducting doctoral committee meeting. Thesis submission process includes synopsis and thesis submission. During all these periods, the process must be monitored, because the student is availing research facilities and scholarships. So a continuous monitoring of the research student is essential. With this view Computer Centre launched an exclusive research portal for the University (www.research.keralauniversity.ac.in). The exclusive portal solution can give faster and efficient dimensions in different research activities. The portal helps research candidates to track their progress. The evaluation of the work can be done by the guide as well as the University. The system is developed in a client server architecture using open source technologies and is deployed in an Intranet environment. All the details are available to students and their guides. The system also offers automatic registration order generation, automatic eligibility verification, thesis submission, tracking and monitoring. Computerization of Syndicate Proceedings Currently the minutes of the syndicate meetings are signed and published after a couple of days: This may leads to a slow process in decision making. If the syndicate / senate meeting agenda processing and meeting is computerised, the minutes can be prepared without time delay. Computer Centre has

110 Section II University of Kerala Annual Report 2012 developed necessary software for computerizing the proceedings of Syndicate meeting. The system will be implemented soon. Placement Portal of the University Computer Centre in association with the placement division of the University started a portal for online job placement of the students of the University (http://placement.keralauniversity.ac.in). The portal is developed to provide different activities such as meeting arrangements, conducting online tests, interview scheduling, coordinating, message communication, information gathering etc. Document Verification Portal The increased requirements for verifying the documents issued by the University, the University launched a new portal for document verification. The portal is meant for students as well as employers and is aimed to avoid any delay caused in the processing of documents.(http://www.ku.directverify.in). Computer Centre provides the necessary support in connection with the online verification process of documents. C. V. Camp Computerization Software Time delay in the publication of results of University examinations can be reduced to a large extent by conducting CV camps in an orderly manner and by uploading the marks to the database at the end of each day of the camp itself. Computer Centre has initiated steps for developing comprehensive CV camp automation software. The software provides facilities for creating data bank of examiners and chiefs for each subject, entry of marks secured by candidate, updating the mark database from any of the camps. The software will be made operational soon. Kerala University Data Centre University of Kerala intends to set up a full fledged tier 3 Data Centre for conducting different online activities under the control of Computer Centre. This will give a boost to different computerization activities of the University. The initial steps for this project are already started. Setting up of the Data Centre includes the procurement, supply and installation, configuration and integration of different IT (active and passive) and Non-IT components required for the functioning of the Data Centre. Computer Centre can provide the complete configuration of items such as routers, switches, UTM Appliance, proxy server, authentications system and other equipment, hardware and software installed under the project. Wire free Campuses at Palayam and Kariavattom University of Kerala proposes to implement Wi-Fi network access to the campuses Kariavattom and Palayam. The purpose of the implementation is to help students in both the campuses to connect to the Internet & Intranet through wireless network from anywhere inside the university campus and able to access the information in a secured manner. University employees, students, and guests will have shared access to wireless network resources to support the University's mission of teaching, research, and outreach. Those who wish to connect to the campus network with a laptop or other wireless device can use the wireless network infrastructure that is owned by and centrally managed by Computer Centre. The initial steps are already started. The project involves designing of the necessary infrastructure, supplying, installing and configuring of different devices such as access points, wireless controllers etc. Intranet and WAN For effective overall functioning of the data centre and it is necessary to set up intra net at University campuses and to set up a WAN connecting the two main campuses of the University. This is essential to set up a Backup of storage as well as DR sites as per the defined policies. Monitoring, log maintenance and reporting of status on a regular basis can also be achieved by setting up the WAN. The initial steps are started in this direction.

THE CELL TO COMBAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT Chairperson : Dr. G. S. Jayasree Convener : Mrs. Deanna Stephen The CCSH, as it is popularly known, has three major functions - gender sensitization and orientation, crisis management and mediation and formal enquiry and redress. Complaints of sexual harassment are reported to the CCSH by students, faculty members and even administrative staff. All complaints are investigated within the laid- down mandate in conformity with confidentiality. The CCSH has a three tier structure and its activities of the CCSH are carried out in affiliated colleges in association with college level committees and the Women's Study Units of colleges. In the year 2012, the key clauses of the Anti-Sexual Harassment Rules were sent to all the colleges and they were asked to display it where it would be seen by all the students. Classes were conducted in 7 colleges on what gender sensitization means, what sexual harassment means and what can be done if they feel they have been harassed. In 2012, we received 2 written complaints and 17 oral complaints where the victims were unwilling to commit themselves to writing. Suitable action as stipulated by law was taken in all the complaints. March 8, International Women's Day proved to be an occasion to renew the pledge to gender equity and justice in the university. The Hon. Vice-chancellor, Prof. A. Jayakrishnan opened the day's deliberations and the key note was delivered by Smt. Valsala Kumari I. A. S. Eminent academics, jurists and cultural activists shared their views on the occasion. On March 9th, an interactive workshop was held in collaboration with the Loyola College of Social Sciences, Sreekariyam. The emphasis was on the psychosocial aspects of trauma and invited teachers and administrative staff were educated on how to deal with situations of sexual abuse in work places.

Though the prime emphasis is laid on Educational Technology . The general trends in the field of evolving science and technology too is kept in focus. The Centre had decided to improve its functioning by extending its support to researchers in the field of Educational Technology and its related areas. It was also decided that the Centre should have a journal of its own as a tool for propagation of the latest in the field of communication and educational technology to all members, teaching and learning, of the education community. With these aims the Centre for Educational Technology set out its activities in the following areas. Consultancy Services The Centre for Educational Technology provided consultancy for those M.Ed, M.

Section III 351 University of Kerala Annual Report 2012

The CET collaborated with the research Oriented programmes of the NGO ‘Researchers Guild of Innovations’ spearheaded by Dr. K. R. Sivadasan, formerly Professor of Educational Technology, Department of Education, University of Kerala Discussion Forum The Centre in its efforts to strengthen the research in the field of Educational Technology brought together researchers from the Department of Education and other centres of research under the Kerala University to engage in informal discussions among themselves and with certain visiting and available experts in the field on the possibilities and challenges of incorporating technology in the field of Education. The Centre is indebted to eminent scholars and senior Professors like Dr. M. A. Sudhir, Dr. S. Krishnan, Dr. Karpaga Kumaravel, Dr. A. Sukumaran Nair, Dr. K. R. Sivadasan, Dr. Achuthsankar S. Nair to name just a few and collaborating organisations like Escube Technologies, CACEE – University of Kerala, Trinity Institute of Networking Technology, C Cube foundation and AIRIO for directly or otherwise extending assistance to the Centre. Proposed Journal of Educational Technology The idea of starting a research journal had surfaced time and again as a need of the hour for sharing the ideas of the Centre regarding the latest trends in the field of Education Technology. The Centre held a meeting under the chairmanship of the Hon. Director with all its well wishers to seek the opinion of the teacher community on the scope and relevance of such a research journal in the light of umpteen journals and research publications presently available. The gathered were of the opinion that the Centre must have a journal solely for the cause of Educational Technology and should through it, justify its efforts to the scholarly community. Some scholars were also of the opinion that such a journal could prove to be an asset to those pursuing research in the fields relating to Educational Technology. Online Support and Media Library Taking into account the speed of developments in the field of Science and Technology the Centre had contemplated the scope of the Centre functioning as a nodal centre for providing Online support to researchers and students in the field of Educational Technology and related fields. The research scholars who had recently presented their research volunteered to provide their research thesis and research tools to a media centre if such a facility could be opened at the Centre for Educational Technology, Department of Education. This in addition to the support it would provide to the budding researchers would also avoid any repetition likely to occur in the field of research. For this purpose the Centre had chalked out a proposal and submitted to the staff council to be forwarded to the University and to the Government for the necessary sanctions and adequate funding. Representation in Seminars and Academic Events The Hon. Director, CET participated as a resource person in a ‘Whet Workshop for Finalising the E-Content an Adolescent Health Education Package’ jointly organized by SPACE and Curriculum Development Centre, Dept. of Education from 12th October to 13th October 2012. Dr. Theresa Susan had been the General Convenor of the UGC sponsored National Conference on “Mahanama Madan Mohan Malaviya: A Great Visionary Educationalist of India” on 19th and 20th of November 2012 at the Department of Education, University of Kerala.

usage. The participants also developed strategies to impart this knowledge to the students in high schools. Among the other activities planned for the year but failed to be executed, due to several constraints, was a National Seminar. The plan to reinstall the language lab too was put on hold owing to insufficient funding. The Centre hasn’t received adequate funding from the university and had to operate on advances made by the director. The request for basic furniture and two computers for the Centre too were not met by the University. Had these inadequacies been corrected, the Centre would have been able to function more effectively.
