Since its inception there has been a consistent growth of the University in terms of student enrolment and academic courses pertaining to graduate, post graduate and doctoral programs being offered at the campus and by its affiliated colleges. During the last 28 years, the University has faced several challenges and thereby achieved excellence in diverse fields. It is committed to impart holistic education that secures a balance between the technological developments shaping the current global education, employment scenario and value content with focus on national heritage and culture. The University has developed itself into a clean and green campus built of Jodhpur stone that expresses its concern for both environment and heritage. To its credit, Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati University displays many points of its successful journey since its establishment. An eco-friendly campus with beautiful landscaping gives a real ambience of academic environment. The University has developed excellent infrastructure in terms of academic and administrative buildings, laboratories, class rooms, auditoria, residential blocks and hostels for boys and girls. In addition to wide range of academic programs in its affiliated colleges, the University offers courses of high job potentials both from traditional and professional nature. Redesigned curricula of all programs meet the needs of society and industry. The Centre for Entrepreneurship and Small Business management established by the Ministry of Small Scale Industries, Government of India is unique and the only one of its kind in the country. The library is automated with UGC INFLIBNET facility. Recently, the University has established three research centres in the name of Ambedkar, Prithviraj and Sindhu to augment research activity in respective areas of importance. The University has organized All India Inter-university games and sports in the past and hosted 30th West Zone Interuniversity Youth Festival 2014 with support of Association of Indian Universities (AIU) New Delhi. Out of concern for its neighbourhood community the University has taken up programs of NSS and a village-Muhami has been adopted for social and environmental awareness and various developmental activities. The amount of academic and development work performed by a small number of faculty is not only commendable but exemplary too. Continuous efforts, introspection and adoption of quality sustenance measures have allowed steady progress of the University towards fulfilment of its objectives. We strive to become a centre of excellence; however an uphill task lies ahead of us. So far our focus was on enhancement of the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for higher education that shows increasing trend to some extent. However, looking to the global trends in higher education and the growing number of institutions of higher education, quality and performance of any institute is indispensable and important parameter in setting benchmarks for achieving excellence. Accreditation of institute of higher education by NAAC would undoubtedly help us to put our efforts and actions in right direction for quality enhancement. In the past the University Page | 2 had voluntarily put its profile before NAAC that accredited it as B++ in 2004. Reaccreditation was long due but for certain issues that slowed down the desired pace of movement forward to take initiatives for achieving excellence in all dimensions of the functionality of the University. Sixth Convocation Ceremony of the University For the Second Cycle of Accreditation by NAAC in 2016, the Self Study Report (SSR) is ready. The committee constituted for the preparation of this SSR has put up hard work in compiling, analyzing and summarizing the information collected from teaching departments and from various administrative sections of the University. Ii is my pleasure to submit the SSR to the NAAC, Bengaluru for assessment and accreditation and eagerly look forward to welcome Peer Team in the University. Prof. Kailash Sodani Vice Chancellor Page | 3 VISION & MISSION MAHARSHI DAYANAND SARASWATI UNIVERSITY AJMER Page | 4 Vision The Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati University aspires for an enlightened India by imparting holistic education. To achieve this pristine goal it envisions: • Breaking the shackles of the present teaching system, where different departments virtually serve as separate compartments without any cross flow of information and thus making students learn science and technology and simultaneously be able to dig deeper in the mental realms of existence to earn themselves a more or less stress free term of life on this planet. Similarly an exposure of science to students of other subjects will make them more pragmatic and analytical in approach to the life and its problems. • Imparting diversity, specialty and specialization of subjects as per the requirements of today’s technology driven enterprises as we understand that the civilizations move on the wheels of technology. • Fulfilling entire learning requirements of the society- our symbiotic partner, by making intensive and visible efforts to sensitize the society through students towards the issues of social discontent and injustice and work for a peaceful, dynamic and forward moving society. • Reducing social marginalization by generating self esteem and sense of participation amongst the downtrodden. • Bringing together, India as well as its Diaspora by fulfilling their cultural and religious needs to make them emotionally one entity. • Creating new opportunities for the youth by imparting them the knowledge of the language, culture, believes, religion and rituals of neighbouring countries and the countries with Indian Diaspora. This in turn will enhance business opportunities and exchange of ideas and create socio-cultural bonhomie for a progressive and peaceful humanity. MISSION To contribute to the super ordinate goal of nation building through realization of civilizational roles and civilizational goals in a global setting by creating and managing knowledge for social evolution, by inculcating values among youth and creating a climate of innovation and learning addressed to all segments of society. OBJECTIVES To accomplish its vision, the University has set following objectives: . Imparting education in various branches of learning . For the advancement of learning, undertake research in various branches of learning. Undertake extension education programs . Train college teachers to up-date their knowledge (Reinvigorate the teachers and teaching) . Organize specially designed orientation programs in teaching methodologies and pedagogy .

  • The Saffronization of Indian Textbooks
    The Saffronization of Indian Textbooks A Study of the Extent and Implications of BJP Textbook Manipulation 2002 - 2018 Caitlin Westerfield RLST 375: Hindu Nationalism May 8, 2019 Westerfield 1 1 Introduction The emergence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in response to a growing Hindu Nationalist sen- timent in India has led to nation-wide policy changes as well as radical and violent conduct by its followers. This is in part due to the extraordinary effectiveness by which the BJP has been spread- ing its ideology of Hindu exceptionalism, Islamophobia, and Indian nationalism. One technique that the BJP has put to efficient use since beginning to gain power in an attempt to indoctrinate Indian youth into the Hindutva tradition has been the rewriting of government-issued textbooks. While “Government efforts to influence history-writing, and intellectual life in general, ... is [a] common practice, ... what does distinguish the BJP is the systematic, consistent, and generalised level at which it has been operating” (Sarkar 2002, 245). This exceptional prioritization of text- books is used in part by the BJP to prompt the next generation to support the Hindutva move- ment, but is also focused on retrogressing their social justice mentality. By pushing for regressive mindsets on caste, gender, and religious acceptance, as well as encouraging an anti-Marxist and pro-authoritarian dogma, the BJP textbooks are graduating students who not only will not work to bring India into a more egalitarian society, but will be active agents in bringing about the reverse. 2 Case Studies: Textbooks in India from 1990s to Present The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has gone through several iterations of textbooks as the federal government in India changed party control.
