The Adamas University on May 19, 2020 today launched a special crisis manual report ‘#AU Combats COVID” through a virtual press conference. The digital launch of this report is one of its kind initiative as it is not done by any other universities ever in Eastern and North Eastern part of India.
The momentous launch was done in the presence of Prof Samit Ray, Chancellor, Prof Dr Deependra Kumar Jha, Vice Chancellor, Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury, Pro Vice Chancellor, of Adamas University among many other notable professors and academicians.
The report highlights how the university has quickly and radically altered its teaching, learning, evaluating activities during this crisis.
It also captures how the university prioritised the safety of the students and decided to close the campus as early as March 15, 2020 onwards. It had immediately adopted a series of humanitarian measures which included contribution of Rs 10 lakh to the CM Relief Fund by Prof Samit Ray.
Additionally the university offered its campus to be used as a quarantine center with a maximum of 1000 beds for isolated persons, along with quarters for doctors and health professionals despite being a non-medical university.
