NAAC 3Rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 NAAC 3rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 1 NAAC 3rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 Executive Summary Established in 1949, Karnatak University campus is located at an altitude of over 750 mtrs on a stretch of 750 acres perched on gently sloping hillock called Chota Mahabaleshwar. This location commands a panoramic view of the valleys with sylvan surroundings providing a unique natural beauty and peaceful setting. Heavily wooded slopes are dotted by Eucalyptus, Mango and Subabul groves and casuarinas, Gulmohar, Neem, Coconut, Palm and Ashoka trees. The greenery that surrounds the campus lends a rare grace to the buildings and roadside boundaries overlooking the city of Dharwad. One of the abiding concerns of the University has been to ensure and enhance this ambience by conserving the biodiversity and provide an eco-friendly environment for the healthy and intellectual development of the faculty and students. Keeping this in view, lush gardens are maintained by planting varieties of seasonal flower saplings every year in different locations of the campus. Dharwad has been a vibrant cultural centre of Karnataka. It has been the birth place of the modern movement for the cultural revival of Karnataka. It was here that the idea of a united Karnataka movement originated and later intensified. As part of the movement, the movement for Karnatak University was started in the 1920s. As a culmination of this movement the Karnatak University was born. There is little doubt that Dharwad is an ideal location for a University as it is a centre of Karnataka’s intellectual and cultural rejuvenation. It has produced a galaxy of creative and discursive writers. It is a place of thinkers as well as musicians. It has given to the world a number of awardees of Jnana Peetha like D.R. Bendre, V.K. Gokak, Girish Karnad and Chandrashekhar Kambhar. It has also given to the world such great Hindustani Classical singers as Mallikarjun Mansur, Bhimsen Joshi, and Gangubai Hanagal. It was inevitable that Dharwad was crowned with a modern and dynamic University. The founders and architects of the University with true nationalistic spirit have laid sound foundation to build a distinct institution of higher learning in this part of independent India. Eradication of illiteracy among the masses was their avowed mission and accordingly they conceived the logo of the University with a banyan tree, a rising son and the legend Arrive Guru, i.e., Wisdom is Guru, indicating that both wisdom and knowledge should be all pervading like the ramifying banyan tree to lit up the world. The majestic Vidya Soudha, that stands huge and tall at the head of the campus, is a magnificent memorial to their dedicated efforts, particularly of late Wrangler Dr. D.C. Pavate. Today it is an icon of higher education and operation literacy that were launched 64 years ago in this part of Karnataka. This is the second oldest University in Karnataka and it celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2009. It has been one of the major knowledge disseminating centres in several disciplines in South Central India catering to the needs of millions of students. The unstinted efforts of 2 NAAC 3rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 Karnatak University to enhance the body of knowledge in the realm of Science and Humanities has yielded fruitful results leading to the development of the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Statistics, Life Sciences which have proved to be robust research centers as well as the Arts and Social Science departments which are also equally active in pursuing research, teaching and extension activities relevant to the present day social requirements. Regional imbalance in Karnataka has been the cause of backwardness in North Karnataka. As a result of this, large numbers of people of this region have suffered from social exclusion, especially in education, employment and in overall development. Imparting quality education, especially higher education became imperative to overcome the problem of regional imbalance in Karnataka state. It is in this direction that a humble beginning was made in 1950 by Karnatak University and this initiative was intensified during the time of Wrangler Dr. D.C. Pavate. Since then, Karnatak University has been striving to promote social justice to empower the people of North Karnataka through the spread and access of quality higher education. The continuous efforts of Karnatak University to spread the higher education has given rise to the birth of two more universities out of its two PG centres. The erstwhile PG Centre at Gulbarga emerged as an independent Gulbarga University in 1980 and the PG Centre at Belgaum became another full fledged University called Rani Channamma University in 2010. The University has endeavoured to explore as many domains of knowledge as it could be possible with its seven faculties viz., Science and Technology, Social Science, Arts, Commerce, Management, Law and Education. Most of the PG departments have independent buildings with adequate space, classrooms, laboratories, Seminar and discussion halls and Computer labs with Internet facilities which are upgraded periodically with modern infrastructure. The USIC with its Annex is housed in an independent building. New buildings for the Research Centre for DNA Diagnostics, Bhasha Bhavan, Basava Bhavan, Women’s Rest Room, Central Evaluation Centre and Swami Vivekananda Study Centre have come up during the last five years. Several renovations and extension of buildings have been carried out during the last five years. In addition, the work for separate buildings for Dr. D.C. Pavate Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Interdisciplinary Programme for Life Sciences and for the School of Social Sciences are in progress. The Vidya Soudha houses several departments of the Faculties of Social Sciences, Science and Technology, Commerce and Arts. The PG departments of Business Management and Reproductive Health Management are housed in one independent building near the University Library with classrooms, seminar halls and auditorium. The department of Physical Education is housed in Kreeda Bhavan. The department of Gandhian Studies is housed in Gandhi Bhavan, while the departments of Foreign Languages, Hindi, Urdu and Persian and Electronic Media are situated in 3 NAAC 3rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 Bhasha Bhavan. The Ambedkar Study Centre is in the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhavan. Kanaka Bhavan houses the Kanaka Peetha and University Consultancy Cell. The Vishwachetana Building houses Examination Section, Directorate of Distance Education, The Minorities and Other Backward Classes Cell, IQAC Office, Computer Processing Unit and a branch of State Bank of India. The Dr. R.C. Hiremath Institute of Kannada Studies accommodates the departments of Kannada, Folklore, Linguistics, Sanskrit and Marathi. The Student Home Building houses the UEIGB Centre, Central Computer Centre, Academic Staff College and Office of the Director of Student Welfare. The University publication division Prasaranga is located in an independent building. The Gandhi Bhavan, Golden Jubilee Building and Manasollasa are multipurpose halls. The University offers a wide range of PG courses in the Faculties of Science and Technology, Social Science, Commerce, Management, Education, Law and Arts. All possible measures are taken to impart quality higher education in accordance with the UGC Higher Education Policies with a view to providing access to higher education for various sections of the society. There are 47 PG departments offering 50 courses, 18 PG Diplomas, 3 Advanced Diplomas, 4 Diplomas, 3 Certificate courses, 26 M.Phil. and 42 Ph.D. Programmes. On an average, in the last five years, there has been a considerable increase in the percentage of female students vis-a-vis male students. The University has been promoting social justice in accordance with the policy of the State Government. As a result, there has been a spurt to the extent of almost 60 % in the total admission of students belonging to SC/ST, Category-I and OBC categories in the last five years. The University Public School started in 1964, is also serving as a practicing school for the B.Ed. Course of the constituent College of Education. Most of the PG Diploma courses, especially the 11 Peethas (Chairs) focus on inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary components in their curricula. The Basava Peetha, Gandhian Studies, Kanaka Adhyayana Peetha, Ambedkar Studies and Swami Vivekanand Centre are offering value-based courses. There are a few self- financing courses viz., M.Com., (Corporate Secretaryship), M.Sc., (Applied Genetics), M.Sc., (Bio-technology), M.Sc., (Computer Science), M.Sc., (Microbiology), MBA, MBA (Evening), MCA, PG Diploma in Bank Management and PG Diploma in Risk Management as well as an integrated Course in Tourism Administration. The UGC Curriculum Development Report is the base for various courses. Introduction of CBCS pattern at the PG level in the University has given rise to a paradigm shift. The primary objective of introducing CBCS System is to serve the interest of students by giving option of choosing any one paper as an open elective in second and third semesters. Academic flexibility is provided to the students to enable them to have ample choice not only at the PG level but also at the level of PG Diplomas. The system of open electives provides the scope to choose courses beyond core courses in other 4 NAAC 3rd Cycle Accreditation- Self Study Report -2013 departments. The recognition of cognate subjects lends freedom for graduates and post graduates to seek admission to the new PG courses as well as to conduct research in the new fields at the level of Ph.D. programme. That is how any graduate can seek admission to the PG courses like Anthropology, Criminology, Library and Information Science, Mass Communication and Journalism, Electronic Media, Philosophy, Linguistics, Management and Social Work. In the Faculty of Arts, any graduate from the discipline in Arts can opt for the PG Course in Linguistics and Folklore.

  • AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951
    AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951 "An eminent engineer, an able administrator and a generous human being" will be the epithets by which AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLAwill be known to the posterity in India. Belonging to a generation of Indians, born when the country was under foreign domination, Dr Xhosla was proud to be an Indian and had great confidence in the capabilities of Indian engineers. There is no doubt that he had few equals to match his qualities, achievements and abilities. EARLYLIFE AND EDUCATION Ajudhya Nath Khosla was born in Jullunder City in the Punjab on December 11, 1892. He had his early education at the Government High School and later at the Anglo-Sanskrit H~ghSchool, Jullunder, from which he passed his Matric exami- nation in 1908. He had his college education at the DAV College, Lahore, from where he graduated in Arts (Hons) in 1912 securing the first position in the University ' and the highest marks in mathematics. Young Khosla joined the Thomson College of Civil Engineering, Roorkee in October 1913 and graduated with honours. Soon after passing out from the Engineering College, in July 1916, he joined the Punjab Public Works Department (Irrigation Branch). It is interesting to note that his first assignment was to investigate and survey connected with Bhakra Dam Project, a major challenge faced and overcame by him with great distinction in later life. The dam, one of the highest in the world, stands on the same axis as he had proposed in 1917 as an apprentice engineer. From July 1918 to March 1920, during the First World War, he was with the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force in Iraq as a Commissioned Officer, when he made his first original contribution to engineering by designing Khosla Disc for precision levelling across rivers and wide valleys.

Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Content About CSIR: The Industrial Intelligence and Research Bureau was set up in April 1935. At the onset of World War II in 1939, by the efforts of Arcot Ramaswamy Mudaliar, a member Board of Scientific and Industrial Research(BSIR) was created on 1 April 1940 for a period of two years. Mudaliar became the chair of the board. It was at this point that Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar was appointed as the Director. Major achievements of BSIR included development of the techniques for the purification of Balochistan sulphur anti-gas cloth manufacture, vegetable oil blends as fuel and lubricants, plastic packing cases for army boots and ammunition, dyes for uniforms and the preparation of vitamins, and the invention of a pyrethrum emulsifier and cream. Bhatnagar persuaded the government to set up an Industrial Research Utilisation Committee (IRUC) in early 1941 for further investment into industrial research. The constitution of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) as an autonomous body was prepared under Mudaliar and Bhatnagar which came into operation on 26 September 1942.

  • Mueller Hinton Agar Is Explained
    Committed to the advancement of Clinical & Industrial Disinfection & Microbiology VOLUME - V ISSUE - I JAN-FEB 2012 Editorial We have heard of the term vicious circle, which means a self-perpetuating process which returns to its starting point with no improvement. The emblem of a snake eating its own tail was commonly used in the iconography of Georgian and Victorian cemeteries which denotes the circle of life and death. A wider use of the expression was taken up by the medical profession, Contents being used to describe conditions where one symptom affects another and the health of the patient steadily deteriorates. One of the major reasons is antibiotic resistance. The volume of antibiotic prescribed is the major factor in increasing rates of bacterial resistance rather than compliance with antibiotics. Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics has been attributed to a number of causes, including: people who insist on antibiotics, physicians simply prescribe n them as they feel they do not have time to explain why they are not necessary or else are overly Editorial 1 cautious for medical legal reasons. For example, a third of people believe that antibiotics are effective for common cold and it is the most common reasons antibiotics are prescribed. A large number (22%) of people do not finish a course of antibiotics primarily because they feel better. n In the section mini review, applications and benefits of Mueller Hinton Agar is explained. It is Mini review 2 used largely for testing antibiotic susceptible of micro-organisms. It has become the standard medium for the Bauer-Kirby method. Mueller Hinton Agar helps to evaluate the resistance or susceptibility of a micro-organism towards a particular drug (antibiotics).
