MEASURES FOR STUDENTS WELFARE

Vision 2020 : A forum of the students (UG & PG) has been structured by me to promote inherent skills of the students; to develop personality through interaction between teachers and students; organizing debate, quiz and discussions on current topics; organizing lectures by teachers on the topics / chapters of common interest. e-Learning : www.prakasharchaeo.com : This web site has been launched to provide reading material and notes to Undergraduate and Postgraduate students with illustration (figures, charts, images). It covers nearly whole of the syllabus (all papers) of the Undergraduate course (Part I, II, III) and Postgraduate –Archaeology Group. This web site also contains information about my researches and outcome of the projects under taken by myself. It is updated periodically (fortnightly, at present under construction). Outreach Teaching/ Training Programme : OUT SIDE ALLAHABAD • Invited as Resource Person by Centre for Archaeological Studies and Training (CASTEI), Kolkota, West Bengal in the WORKSHOP ON LITHICS (15-17 June 2007) to deliver lectures on
