Nilamber Pitamber University here will hold a three-day national conference on the topic ‘Jharkhand Ka Hindi Sahitya’ said NPU’s VC S N Singh in a press briefing here on Monday to mark his one year in office. Singh is the 7th VC of this 9 year old NPU. Singh said the Hindi literature of State is rich but its literary realm is not much explored and this national conference to be held in the first week of the coming September will try to bring out the richness and finesse of this Sahitya here in Jharkhand.
The VC taking pride said, “The University in its nine years of existence has made a start with one Ph.D degree holder in Chetan Anand who was conferred upon this degree here in the faculty of Hindi.” Decks have been cleared further for more Ph.D aspirants here he added.
He said NPU’s Physics department is gearing up to hold seminar on recent trends in applied science date for which is to be finalized later on.
This university will send its students to villages to find out the status of individual house hold latrines commonly called Swachhta abhiyan, connectivity, health care, education, water facility, power connection and a composite report of profile of villages will be sent to union ministry of human resources and development Delhi said the VC.
On opening of government degree colleges in tribal density places like Manika and latehar VC said work is in full swing in Manika and latehar where in all 3 Government colleges are coming up but the bottleneck is that there is no teacher available to work here so far despite the fact that the state government has sanctioned the posts here for these three colleges. Similar problem best with upcoming colleges in Chhaterpur and Hussainabad he added.
NPU’s premier college will have 100 Kv solar energy panel informed VC saying excess energy will then be given to national grid.
Two multipurpose halls one each at Daltonganj and Garhwa are under construction having sitting capacity of 1800 and 1500 respectively.
Courses like MBA, MCA master degree in journalism and mass communication have taken off here which before this university came up here was a big dream for the students reminded VC.
Singh’s real worry is colleges not getting geared up for assessment by NAAC team and said if by December end this year it is not done the defaulter colleges may be axed for its affiliations cut warned VC.
Close on the heels of NAAC is convocation for which Raj Bhavan is srtiously pursuing the issue and is pressing the NPU to make a headway towards it.
About his one year in office mantra Singh said, “It is transparency and approach to take along with students, teachers and non teachers towards better academic environment here.”
