This Annual Report is presented, as per our annual practice, in six parts comprising (I) University Authorities and Boards, (II) University Departments, Centres and Programmes, (III) Achievements of the University Faculty, (IV) General Administration, (V) Affiliated Col­ leges, and (Vi) Recognized institutions. The Report largely covers the profiles and activities of the post graduate departments at the University and the significant achievements of both the members of the faculty and the students. The section on affiliated colleges mir­ rors the activities that are undertaken by.the professional and non-professiorial colleges affiliated to this University. This Annual Report spans the Silver Jubilee Year of Goa University. The Silver Jubilee Year was observed with great fervour with a large number of national and international confer­ ences hosted by the University departments during this period. The period also witnessed visit to the University of such luminaries as Dr. Anil Kakodkar, Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar, Prof. Prabhat Patnaik, Ambassador Lalit Mansingh among others. During the year of the Silver Jubilee of its foundation, the University was also privileged and honoured by the gracious presence of Her Excellency Smt. Pratibha Devising Patil, Hon’ble President of India, at the 22nd Annual Convocation held in November 2009. This Annual Report makes an attempt to capture some of those moments. I would like to record my appreciation and acknowledgment towards the cooperation of all the teaching and non-teaching staff members and students who contributed to the suc­ cess of the year-long Silver Jubilee celebrations. Prof. Dileep N. Deobagkar Vice Chancellor GOA UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 INTRODUCTION Goa University has treaded a path of sustained growth since its inception in 1985 around the nucleus of Centre for Post Graduate Instruction and Research of the University of Bombay in Goa. As is expected of an institution on the move, Goa University has grown steadily in terms of its infrastructure, addition of contemporary courses with a dynamic curriculum, and increase in the number of affiliated colleges and recognised institutes. The Annual Report of the University attempts to reflect the various facets of academic and co- curricular activities at the University. The information contained in the pages that follow truly reflects the vibrant academic ethos of the University, its focus on research, and notably the rich contribution of the faculty in terms of research projects, national and international seminars and workshops as well as publications. The Report also reflects the academic ethos of our affiliated colleges and institutes. Since this publication covers the period of the Silver Jubilee Year 2009-10, images of the various activities conducted during the year have also been included in the publication. We are thankful to all heads of University departments and Principals of affiliated colleges who have painstakingly compiled information that is contained in this Report. The Committee would like to express its gratitude to all those who have contributed in the publication of this Annual Report. D. J. Bhat Convenor, Editorial Committee V. P. Kamat Member A. J.
