Dear Colleagues,
At the outset,
let's all congratulate Dr.Alok Mishra (Economics), Dr.Darla Venkateswara Rao (Telugu), Dr. Srikanth (SEST), Dr.Y. Suresh (Animal
Biology), and Dr. Venugopala Rao (ACRHEM), for winning the Chancellor’s Award
this year. The University will be presenting this award to these five faculty members
at the forthcoming Convocation on October 01, 2016.
During the 77th Academic Council meeting
held on September 22, 2016, I realized that I completed one year in the office
as the Vice-Chancellor. It was a learning experience interms of administrative
and financial matters, while it was relatively comfortable discussing academic
matters with you!
When I look at the
current challenges, the first thing that bothered me was the QUALITYof teaching
and research, which is the major contributor for the reputation of our
University. I would like to see that all of us are engaged in teaching and
research in a manner that is justified in a University with Potential for Excellence
(UPE).
The Administration is keen and has
initiated efforts to augment resources by seeking support from industry under
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It was realized that only 27% of us have
ongoing external funded projects and the average output of Ph.D./faculty was
almost 0.5% per year in the past few years. For us, to retain the tag of a
research University, we need to pull our socks up until we reach a stage as to
declare that each one of us have at least one external funded project and are
guiding at least one Ph.D. student per year successfully.
It also occurred in the 77th AC meeting
that if all of us have external funded major research projects, we would be in a
position to provide research fellowships to all our research students who do
not have their own fellowships. It would be my desire to see that all faculty
members fully support Ph.D. students in their group, if they do not have their
own fellowship.
To regain the points we have lost in the
previous round of accreditation and more importantly not to slip further, we
need to step up the quality in our teaching, our publications, our patent profile
and our quest for new research projects to the absolute potential of the faculty. We need to further
increase the degree of transparency in all these activities.
We are all proud that our colleagues in
English, Chemistry and Physics have brought name to the University with
consistent good ranks. The Administration would be happy, if they improve their
rank, and all others find ways to get an international rank for our University
to have more such proud moments. Let us all work in this direction, with
determination, for the progress of our students and our University.
Sincerely yours,
APPA RAO PODILE
