8.Future Plans of Actions for Next Academic Year

The Saurashtra University is a premier institute in the regions and hence holds
the responsibility of catering to the masses as well as high aspirants in terms
of quality education. The University plans to excel in the field of higher
education by proposing the following for the next academic year: • Starting new
programmes in emerging areas: Computing and cloud technology, cutting edge issued
in the field ICT, biotechnology, bio informatics, cheminoformatics, etc. are the
emerging areas in the field of higher education. The Saurashtra University is
thinking of starting new programmes in these areas and beyond. The University
revises its syllabi every three years and it is due in the next academic year. •
Starting skill based programmes There is a high demand of graduates having
certain skills learnt during their study period. Often, our regular programmes
are not coming up to the mark in terms of satisfying skill requirements. Hence,
the Saurashtra University proposes to start new skill based programmes in the
coming year. The University may think to introduce some courses/papers catering
skill needs among students. • Promoting Green Campus Drive The Saurashtra
University has more than 31,000 grown up trees on its campus. There is an
 addition of almost 1000 trees every year to the available green stock on the
campus. We are having a considerable portion of green patch. However, we propose
to enhance this green campus drive by planting more of number trees and water
conservation facilities. Further, the University proposes to undertake water
harvesting drive across the campus. We are generating our energy requirements
through solar power panels. Moreover, we are energy surplus unit and thus
supplying excess energy the Pashchim Gujarat Vij Company Limited. • Enhancing
Placement Activities The Saurashtra University has a fullfledged Placement
Officer who looks after placement and training activities of the University.
Further, the University organizes job fairs on the campus on a regular interval.
We are proposing to enhance placement activities by increasing number of
companies visited and students placed. • Promoting Research in Applied Areas
Applied sciences are having good focus on researches in their respective
departments. The Saurashtra University proposes to promote quality researches in
applied areas in the coming academic year. • Promoting Faculty Members for more
Major and Minor Research Projects The Saurashtra University provides the Seed
Money Project and Major Research Projects to its faculty members on a regular
basis to enhance research culture on the campus. Besides, it is a priority of the
University that the faculty should apply to external funding agencies such as
UGC, ICSSR, DST, etc. for major and minor research projects. Hence, it is,
hereby, proposed by the University to motivate faculty members to act
accordingly.
