With the objective of implementing e-governance, an Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) will be implemented in universities across the state in a phased manner. In the first phase, the IRP will be implemented in 11 universities as pilot project.
The decision for implementing IRP was taken by a committee of Vice-chancellors and academicians set up for the purpose. The committee was constituted by Governor Ram Naik, who is also the Chancellor of all state universities.
A meeting of the committee, headed by vice chancellor of Dr APJ Abul Kalam Azad Technical University Professor Vinay Kumar Pathak was held in lukcnow on Wednesday wherein issues of data security of universities and likely teething troubles to be encountered in transition to new technology were discussed.
It was decided that after the implementation of ERP in 11 state universities, it would be implemented in all state varsities. The Chancellor will later submit a request to Union government for extending financial assistance for implementing the ERP in these universities.
The meeting also discussed computerization of different works conducted by these universities. Chairman of the committee Prof Pathak said that admission process, application for examinations, digital evaluation of answer sheets, grievance redressaal of students and various other activities could come under one platform – ERP.
