Excellence requires multi-dimensional and multi-directional exercises in improving the quality of education. A quality education is the one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable lively hoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual well being. Basic principle lies on the fact that the individual should have high level of literacy, numeracy and basic scientific knowledge and life skills. Universities are the seats of Higher Education in India besides, IITs, NIITs, Central Universities and other organizations. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan during early party of 1950’s suggested nearly 2000 universities by turn of the century besides stressing on quality. However, during the last 25 years the country has witnessed a rapid impressive growth with approximately 800 universities resulting in 8.15 percent (68 million) graduates in various fields of higher education. Karnatak University established in year the 1950 is the second oldest in the state very next to Mysore University. At present it covers four districts viz., Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Gadag and Haveri. It originally occupied entire northern part of Karnataka, but had to share the development made due to creation of Gulbarga, Davanagere and Rani Channamma Universities. Nevertheless it occupies excellence in various fields of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Life Sciences, Social Sciences and Linguistics. Looking at its all-round development in the past two decades, the University has been grouped among the best universities in India. It is pertinent to mention that UGC, New Delhi has accorded the University with Potential for Excellence (UPE) status since 2013. NAAC has accorded ‘A’ Grade till 2021. Knowledge Commission headed by Dr. Koutino recommended Karnatak University besides Mysore University to be developed as a centre of Excellence. It is hoped that Government takes proactive steps to implement the recommendations. In order to improve the quality of education with rapid development of globalization, the UGC and NAAC have been taking steps for strict implementation of accreditation of Universities academia. Academic and Administrative Audit (AAA) is an annual exercise in this process of institutional evaluation. In this exercise a team of experts from various AAA 2016-18 1 disciplines visits all the Departments, Hostels, Administrative Sections, Library and other support services on the campus. The report of the AAA Committee is on the public domain and is generally displayed on the University website. The sole purpose of this proposed Academic and Administrative Audit is to focus on the enhancement of quality and good work culture in the Universities. The present Committee under my Chairmanship had an excellent composition of experts coming from various states in India and were from disciplines of arts, science, social sciences and agricultural sciences. The team of nine members (List enclosed) was divided into four teams with an internal member viz., Deans of the various faculties nominated by Karnatak University. The visit was spread over a period of three days on 6th, 7th and 8th December 2018. The Committee examined the performance of the post-graduate departments for the period from April 2016 to March 2018. The four teams (A, B, C and D) independently visited the department and saw the infrastructure and equipments and interacted with the faculty members of the post- graduate departments, research scholars and students. During the visit to administrative sections the Committee interacted with Deputy/Asst. Registrars, enquired about recent changes in policy matters, e-governance, e-tendering etc. In the hostels the Committees inspected the rooms and excellent structures of rooms, (viz. Nijalingappa Hostel) patiently listened to the problems and grievances of the
