FOREWORD

In tune with our policy of continuous introspection, analysis and improvement, the Directorate of Internal

Quality Assurance (DIQA) of the University has brought out Annual Report-2012 which not only highlights

the major achievements made by the University during the year but also identifies the areas of concern. In fact,

a transparent, efficient, easily accessible and foolproof system of monitoring, evaluation, accountability and

governance has assumed paramount importance in improving the efficiency of the educational institutions of all

hues, including the University of Kashmir. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) also

lay stress on the publication of Annual Quality Reports (AQR). It is with this motivation that the Directorate of

Internal Quality Assurance collects, collates, verifies, compiles and analyses the information on every relevant

parameter obtained from all the departments/centres/units of the University which forms the bedrock for Total

Quality Management (TQM). Such an exercise has become all the more important in view of the paradigm

shift in the higher education policy of the country which lays more emphasis on creation of new knowledge,

quality and innovation. It is because a radically new system for creating wealth has evolved that depends upon

the creation and application of new knowledge. It is this „age of knowledge‟ that has not only broadened the

roles of institutions of higher learning but has also brought them under sharp focus. The noted economist Clark

Kerr observed that, “On a global scale, wealth and prosperity have become more dependent on the access to

knowledge than the access to natural resources.” As a result, increasing attention is being paid to quality and

excellence in higher education.

I am happy to note that the Directorate of Internal Quality Assurance is responsive to the changes that are

taking place in the arena of higher education in the country and is rendering immeasurable service to the

University in preparing it to fulfill the aspirations of all stakeholders, particularly the students.

The discourse and discuss that would follow the publication of this Annual Report, I am sure, would help us

not only to consolidate and strengthen the existing educational programmes and infrastructure, but also to

identify new, creative, innovative and futuristic programmes through participatory engagement of teachers,

scholars, students and learned members of the civil society.

Professor Talat Ahmad

Vice-Chancellor


PREFACE

The Annual Report-2012 is reliable information on the quality of education offered by the University and

thus is an objective and systematic database of performance for the year 2012. For its preparation an all out

effort was made by the Directorate of Internal Quality Assurance (DIQA) to bring the information in the

present form that also documents the annual teaching and research activities of all the teachers of the

University in a format that has been developed by us last year. In this way it becomes the Annual Quality

Report that is required by the national assessment authority, NAAC, for evaluating the progress of the

University. Besides fulfilling the statuary provision it enlists a broad spectrum of the activities carried by

different organs of the University. In so many ways it is also an effort to have self introspection of our

achievements and weaknesses and to encourage accountability, excellence and bring in qualitative change.

For perspective planning as set in our vision and mission document, this comprehensive report also allows

the University to take stock of its endeavours in the academic, research and administrative activities for the

enhancement of standards and set new targets.

It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to present before the stakeholders the present volume of this serial

publication with the hope that it merits attention of all concerned. After its adoption by the University

Council, on 22-04-2013, it will be also available on the website of the University at diqa.uok.edu.in so that

it is received on a larger scale and evaluated by the society. We are genuinely thankful to our society and

stakeholders who were impressed by the content and its presentation last year (Annual Report-2011) and

their concerns allowed us to bring in certain qualitative changes in the present volume and accordingly

would continuously seek feedback and suggestions for further improvements in the editions to come.

This effort of the DIQA was not possible without the kind support of the Vice Chancellor, Prof Talat

Ahmad. His help, encouragement and eagerness made us to compile this time bound information in a very

short time. I place on record my gratitude to Prof Talat Ahmad for his keen interest and help. Besides him, I

am personally beholden to the Heads of the Departments/Directors of Research /Extension Centres, Nodal

Officers of Departments/Centers, faculty members, officers and administrators of the University who

provided the required information that has given life to this publication.

The unending support of Mr Nazir Ahmad Sheikh, Mr Waseem Ali and Mr Arshid Ahmad Malik of the

Directorate is worth praise as they have put in relentless effort to bring out the Annual Report. The

Directorate acknowledges the much required voluntary help provided by a young scholar of the Centre of

Central Asian Studies, Farooq Rather who sat with us day and night in the month of March to process the

information, collate it and bring it to the present shape. In this endeavour Mr Nazir Ahmad Doshab of the

Centre of Central Asian Studies provided his able and kind help. We appreciate their effort and thank them.

Besides, the effort of Dr Mumtaz Ahmad Yatoo has been tremendous who processed the information in a

scientific way and sat with me for its editing.

The University of Kashmir came into existence in 1969 as a consequence of the bifurcation of the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir University (established 1948). Situated in Srinagar, literally in the lap of the Zabarwan hills on the shores of famous Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake near the Hazratbal shrine, the University has sprawling campus of 250 acres known as main campus which is spread over closely knit areas of Amar Singh Bagh, Naseem Bagh and Mirza Bagh (a residential complex meant for faculty and other employs). Another patch of land 37.5 acres has been recently acquired, nearby, to develop Zakura campus for future expansion and growth of the University. The process of construction at Zukra has been started during the current year. In order to reach out to far of places the University has also established two satellite campuses; the South Campus at Fatehgarh, in Anantnag (32.37 acres) and the North Campus in Delina, Baramulla (76.88 acres), both about 60 kms from the main campus. Besides for establishing Leh Satellite Campus in Ladakh a patch of land of about 100 acres at Tharu has been acquired for the benefit of young boys and girls living about 450 kms from Srinagar. Similarly for Kargil Satellite Campus, some 250 kms from Srinagar, 75 acres of land has been acquired at Khumbalthang. Both at Leh and Kargil the University has started the process of construction after these were inaugurated in the current year. Yet another campus is expected to come up in the extreme north of the Kashmir valley at Kupwara in the near future.

The aim of the University is to provide serene, pleasant and intellectually stimulating environment to the knowledge seekers to inspire and engage them in a meaningful learning process for their self-realisation in educational, socio-economic, scientific and cultural promotion. As an apex institution of higher education in Jammu & Kashmir, the fundamental role of the University is to present adequate opportunities for learning at graduate and postgraduate levels to attain academic excellence, in an impartial and just manner. Besides, the University offers academically motivating ambience for meaningful and effective research to inspire the novelty of thought for human welfare. All this is being done on nationally acknowledged standards and not surprisingly the National Accreditation & Assessment Council (NAAC), an independent organisation of the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India, accredited the University of Kashmir as Grade-A University (first in 2002 for the period 2002 to 2007 and again in 2011 for the period 2007 to 2016). To maintain and further improve its teaching, research and extension activities, the University continuously undertakes massive efforts in consolidation, expansion and modernization of all its teaching-learning resources. Also in place is continuous process of introspection and analysis to achieve higher values and innovation in teaching and learning. For the thousands of young boys and girls who attend daily the University, a state-of-the art library with modern information and communication technology services, well equipped laboratories, virtual classroom facilities and ICT equipped class rooms are some of the features, besides a highly qualified, inspiring and motivating teaching faculty make them to choose this University for the pursuit of knowledge, wisdom and truth.

The University provides education and knowledge through 13 faculties offering post-graduate and research programmes in a number of subjects and disciplines in 38 teaching departments and 15 research and extension centres. Apart from these, in the satellite campuses need-based courses in science, management, computer and engineering have been started to meet the social demand and disseminate knowledge in remote regions. There is a net-work of around 148 Government and private colleges affiliated to the University to cater the needs of the society through more than 30 programmes. Thousands of students graduate every year to help the humanity through their scientific temper, generation and dissemination of knowledge, promotion of cultural and spiritual values. Accordingly the literacy rate of the people in the region has grown to an appreciable level to help them to change their socio-economic lot for the good.

In this age of globalization the University has entered into multi- institutional collaborations with leading national and international universities and research institutions to develop and strengthen academic and research standards. Accordingly, the University has signed memorandum of understanding with reputed universities of China, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, International Business Machines, National Innovation Foundation, British Broadcasting Corporation, Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, etc for collaborative work in areas of mutual interest. Significant contribution in teaching and research is coming from national funding agencies like Department of Science and Technology (DST), Fund for Improvement of Infrastructure (FIST), Special Assistance Programme (SAP) and Area Study Programme (ASP) of the UGC. This all is being done to be in tune with the University vision so that creative minds are able to generate new knowledge and germinate new ideas.

ACADEMIC POLICY

Post-graduate Programmes and other Courses:

The University has a widely acclaimed admission policy to various post-graduate academic, professional and

other related courses. This time-tested policy for admissions is transparent and efficient for all its post-graduate

and undergraduate professional programmes. Admissions are made through a common entrance test based on

multiple choice questions. While 60% weightage is given to entrance test, 40% marks are allotted to the

academic merit of the qualifying examination. In case of engineering and medical graduate courses admissions

are made through a combined entrance test conducted by the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations of

the Jammu & Kashmir State.

Since the demand for the programmes at the University is very high and on an average about 30,000 aspirants

compete annually for about 3000 seats available for various programmes at the main and satellite campuses

with an average demand ratio of 13.45 per available seat the entrance test has thus served a judicious exercise.

Nevertheless due care is taken of aspirants from weaker and under-privileged sections of the society and 30%

of seats are reserved for such categories. Special quota of 2% each is also reserved for students participating in

NCC and sports events at the National level. Besides, 3% seats are reserved for wards of police and security

personnel.

The main features of the admission policy are briefly delineated below:

Candidates having passed the qualifying examination with the required percentage of marks in aggregate as

given below are eligible to apply for admission to the programme/s concerned. A candidate who has already

obtained one postgraduate degree is eligible to seek admission in a second postgraduate programme or in a

Diploma/ Certificate course, if he/she fulfils the eligibility criteria set for admission:

MBA, BBA MBA , MFC, MSW & M Sc IT MCA (for candidates with BCA)

Open Merit 50% Open Merit 50%

Reserved Categories 45% Reserved Categories 45%

MCA, M Sc Bio-technology, M Pharm and

PG Diploma in Computer Applications

All other programmes

Open Merit 55% Open Merit 45%

Reserved Categories 50% Reserved Categories 40%

Note: The minimum eligibility for persons from outside the Kashmir Division including foreign nationals is

the same as that for the open merit category.

Entrance Test The eligible candidates are required to appear in an Entrance Test comprising multiple choice objective type

questions carrying a total of sixty marks spread over the syllabus for the concerned subject/programme. The

Entrance Test for all programmes is conducted during the first/ second week of March. However, the Entrance

Test for the following courses is notified separately and conducted later (preferably in May/June.

a. MBA/ MFC/ BBA MBA

b. B Pharm/ M Pharm

c. B Tech

d. BA LLB/LLM

Admission Procedure: The selection of a candidate is based on his/her performance in the Entrance Test and the qualifying examination.

The Entrance Test carry weightage of 60% and the qualifying examination carry weightage of 40%. The merit

obtained by the candidate in the Entrance Test (out of 60 marks) is combined with the aggregate marks obtained in

the qualifying examination (reduced to the base of 40). In case a candidate is eligible for admission to a

programme/course because of an additional subject, marks obtained in the qualifying examination together with

marks of additional subject are reduced to the base of 40 for determining the interse merit of such a candidate.

Overall merit of the candidates is thus determined out of 100 marks.

Where two or more candidates have secured equal marks out of 100 for admission to a particular programme/course,

the tie shall be decided on the basis of marks secured in the subject in which the admission is sought, taking the

marks of all the three years of BA/ BSc / B Com etc into account. However, wherethe subject offered is not taught at

the undergraduate level or where the admission is sought on the basis of an allied subject and also in the case of LLB,

BA LLB, MLIS, M Com and Mass Communication and similar other programmes, a tie is decided on the basis of

aggregate marks secured by the candidate in the qualifying examination, i.e., a candidate with higher aggregate

marks is given preference.


19

In case of M Sc Biotechnology, a candidate is to appear in the Entrance Test based on two papers on a single day,

with Paper I in the forenoon and Paper II in the afternoon session. Question paper I shall comprise 60 multiple choice

questions [in a similar manner as in other subjects] carrying 60 marks as per the syllabus prescribed for the purpose.

Question paper II (of 2 hours duration) shall comprise 20 very short answer type questions of 2 marks each (total 40

marks) based on the syllabus prescribed for Paper I. On the basis of their merit in Paper I, answer books of Paper II

of candidates numbering four times the intake capacity (both under open merit and reserved categories) is got

evaluated. Final selection for admission to this programme (M Sc Biotechnology) thus based on the combined merit

obtained by the candidates in Paper I and Paper II. The marks or GPA obtained by a candidate in the qualifying

examination is considered only in case of a tie.

evaluated. Final selection for admission to this programme is based on the combined merit obtained by the candidates

in Paper I and Paper II. The marks or GPA obtained by a candidate at the qualifying examination are considered only

in case of a tie.

The admission to MBA & MFC programmes is made on the basis of three components viz. latest MAT/CAT score,

Centre for Biodiversity & Taxonomy (CBT)

Director: Dr Irshad A. Nawchoo

Programmes offered: M Phil and Ph D

Objectives

To discover and document the biodiversity of the Kashmir Himalaya.

To explore the resource potential of the biodiversity for its sustainable utilization in the regional

development.

To assess the magnitude of various threats to biodiversity of the region.

To devise scientific and successful strategies for the conservation of threatened biodiversity.

To raise awareness about biodiversity conservation among the stakeholders and policy makers.

Thrust areas of research

Biodiversity, Taxonomy, Biogeography, Ethnobiology, Conservation Biology, Climate Change

Activities during 2012

Field survey and specimen collection of biodiversity of the different areas such as Viji top (Uri), Vishen Sar

(Sonamarg), Dhara, Rajouri, Poonch, Gurez, Nubra, Zansakar, and other such far-flung areas.

Documentation and digitization of the preserved plant specimens in KASH herbarium.

Scientific nomenclature and identification services to hundreds of research scholars and scientists from

other departments of this University, and the various departments of State Government, particularly,

SKUAST (K), Forests, Environment, Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, etc.

Students from various schools and colleges visited the herbaria, and demonstration sessions were conducted

to learn the techniques and role of herbarium.

Herbarium (KASH)

The Centre houses a herbarium, which contains ca. 55,000 plant specimens including the type specimens of many

species, which have been described as New to Science from this region. The Herbarium, established in 1972 with a

collection of just 500 plant specimens, has been considerably enriched with specimens collected from diverse regions

in the State. As a result of this, the Herbarium, University of Kashmir, has earned recognition from the Vienna-based

International Bureau for Plant Taxonomy & Nomenclature with the acronym KASH. Today this herbarium is the 3rd

largest in the northern India. In the current biodiversity-crisis world, the KASH assumes distinction in preserving the

precious collection of our natural heritage. It is a repository of reference specimens that serve as the basic tools for

plant identification and other facets of biodiversity research. The present position of KASH herbarium is as follows:

Total no. of herbarium specimens = 55,000

Total no. of specimens accessioned = 42,000

Total no. of specimens un-accessioned = 13,000

No. of specimens accessioned during 2012 = 7,000

No. of specimens identified during 2012 = 5,000

No. of specimens collected during 2012 = 5,000

Total no. of herbarium cabinets = 44

Total no. of species = ca. 3500

No. of endemic species = 310

No. of threatened species = 300

Kashmir University Botanical Garden (KUBG)

Incharge Officer : Dr Zahoor A. Kaloo

Brief Profile of Botanical Garden:

The KUBG is globally recognized and is a member of the Botanical Gardens Conservation International

(BGCI) London. Established in 1961 with main emphasis on ornamental plants, was subsequently expanded

and enriched. Presently, it is spread over an area of about 10 acres, most of which is being utilized for growing

wild flora of the Kashmir Himalaya. Various kinds of plants are grown in specific sections, such as

Coniferatum, Shrubbery, Rosarium, Medicinal plant unit, Endemic plant section, Bulbous section, etc.

Arboreals in the Coniferatum are represented by species of Pinus, Cedrus, Abies, Juniperus, Taxus; whereas a

number of rare and threatened plants are grown in other sections of the Garden. A small pond with a canal is

used for growing aquatic plants. Glass and Hot houses in the Garden are used for growing the tropical and

subtropical exotic ornamental plants, including Cacti. A state-of-the-art Green House with 4 chambers, having

experimental facility, is being used by the research students of various disciplines for carrying out their

research work under controlled environmental conditions. To give an aesthetic tinge, the two lawns lying along

the entrance of the Garden are used for cultivation of seasonal flowering plants. In addition, the Garden is also

used for experimental and research activities by the students and research scholars of the Department. Students

from various schools and colleges of the state frequently visit this garden so as to get awareness regarding the

ex situ conservation of the threatened wild, medicinal, aromatic and endemic plants of this part of the globe.

A proposal worth Rs. 01 crore under the Lead Garden Scheme has been submitted to the Ministry of

Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, New Delhi. Under this proposal, the Garden will be augmented with

modern infrastructure, such as Open Top Chamber, Nature Interpretation Centre, High-altitude laboratory and

allied facilities.

Area of Botanical Garden: 10 acres

No. of plant species grown in the garden: 700

No. of new plants added during the year: 50

No. of plants grown under Hot-house/Glass-house: 1300

Size of Green House: 25x60 ft.

The Central Asian Museum

Soon after the establishment of the Centre of Central Asian Studies in 1979, efforts were directed at creating a

Central Asian Museum. It was almost after two years‟ of strenuous work that the museum was inaugurated on

24th

October, 1981. It was meant to create awareness and enthusiasm among the people as well as to create

facilities for the scholars to study the cultural and historical relations of Kashmir with Central Asia. The

museum was initially established with a few art objects acquired through the efforts of Sheikh Mohammad

Abdullah (Pro-Chancellor of the University). During the past 31 years, the museum received donations from

the leading luminaries from India and abroad which substantially added to its collection. Various institutions

have also lent support for the growth of the exhibits. The Centre is also purchasing such antiquities that are

most relevant for the study of Central Asia.

At present, the museum has a varied collection of genuine antiquities and artefacts, including specimens of

archaeological significance, iconographic and artistic marvels, numismatic record, ethnographical varieties,

craft specialities, and many other objects de art. These specimens speak about the history and culture and take

one through the periods of civilisational developments, artistic achievements and mental capabilities of the

people living in the vast space of Central Asia. Besides, the antiquities from Kashmir, Ladakh and Gilgit, the

museum houses artefacts from Khotan, Tibet, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Mongolia and Pakistan. For

entertainment, appreciation and acquisition of knowledge, the cultural deposits are laid out in the museum in a

number of show cases. Supported by visual aids these engross the visitors. The visitors have always been a

source of encouragement and have most often appreciated the efforts that have gone in proper and meaningful

exhibition of the collection.

The Museum has also put on theme oriented short-term temporary exhibitions on

Central Asia: Life and Culture

Art of Calligraphy

Qur‟an and Bindings

Life and Works of Ibn-i-Sina

Rare Manuscripts and Estampages of Inscriptions

Sir Aurel Stein and His collection of Rare Photographs

Life and Culture of Kashmir

Ladakh: Life and Culture

Central Asia through the Ages

Rare Paintings and Manuscripts

The Art of Integration

Directorate of Internal Quality Assurance (DIQA) diqa.uok.edu.in

Director: Prof. Aijaz Bandey

In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for

performance evaluation, assessment, accreditation and quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education,

the University of Kashmir has established Directorate of Internal Quality Assurance as a Total Quality

Management (TQM) unit. TQM is a continuous process of developing a system for conscious, consistent and

catalytic improvement in the performance of the University. DAQA, therefore, a part of University system,

works towards realizing the goal of quality enhancement and sustenance.

Goals:

To make quality, both academic and administrative, the defining element of higher education through a

combination of self and external quality evaluation, promotion and sustenance initiatives.

To stimulate academic environment of teaching-learning and research for fostering global competence.

To promote collaboration with global institutions for undertaking quality related research studies,

consultancy and training programmes.

Achievable Benchmarks:

Measuring timely, efficient and progressive performance of academic, administrative and financial

tasks through creditable evaluation;

Gaining enhancement of quality for academic and research programmes;

Implementing optimization and integration of modern methods of teaching and learning;

Elevating adequacy, maintenance and functioning of the support structure and services;

Sharing Research through networking with other institutions in India and abroad.

Achievements:

The University has attained many of these objectives either fully or partially in the last 5-6 years. Of these the

last three were set in motion in the beginning of the century as Institutional Benchmarks and successfully

achieved by procuring and using modern teaching-learning aids. Side by side the Support System was elevated

to an appreciable level and global networkings created to access and share the knowledge. To measure

achievements benchmarks were also set for the departments and the faculty.

For achieving equitable and judicious measurable progress the benchmarks set last time were restructured and

accordingly DIQA in the beginning of the year 2012 took a major initiative to restructure the operating system

of documentation of academic activities. As per this new initiative the teaching department/research centres are

to put on record comprehensive department and faculty work descriptions, delivery of work and system of

performance. This was necessitated to find out the role played by each teaching department/research centre in

the dissemination of knowledge and for assessment of quality standards.

In addition, the major shift was to prepare teacher Annual Progress Report (APR) in such a way that is open

and participatory so that the transparent self-appraisal framework gives visibility to the numerous tasks

performed by the faculty in teaching, research, administrative sphere, etc. The self-appraisal framework

comprehensively identifies and articulates the key performance areas of faculty. The new structured appraisal

formats accounts their work for one year and include diverse sets of activities carried by the faculty: teaching at

UG & PG levels, guiding and supervising research scholars at M Phill & Ph D level, research carried on

internally and externally funded projects, publication of research papers and books at national and international

arena, participation in national and international conferences/seminars, participation in faculty development

programmes, carrying out institutional responsibilities.

The new APR is conceptualized to help teaching departments/research centres and the teachers to reflect on

their work mandatorily and honestly. It, accordingly, provides each teacher a chance to benchmark one‘s own

work (as per the UGC promotional avenues) and plan future more realistically. Similarly Departments/Centres

have shown their work related to academic, extension and research and the progress reflected allows finding

out achievements in terms of research activities, faculty development programmes, extension lectures,

registration and award of degrees of research scholars, NET/SET pass outs, etc. They have set their targets that

can be achieved in a given time frame. All this has also allowed projecting the overall academic growth of the


445

University in more simplistic way. Quality and judicious benchmarks for administrative and financial tasks are

to be achieved in a time-bound and transparent manner to bring in qualitative change in the working.

With this, the University is to measure the first two achievable benchmarks listed above as the present

restructuring has helped to build a culture of transparency by exposing ourselves before the stakeholders with

strong points as well as with grey areas. Above all, it also provides the management a tool to measure the

performance and monitor the growth of quality. Since all these facts and figures are published in the Annual

Reports these create a kind of competition for ones growth and development. It besides allows the stakeholders,

society, etc to encourage accountability and keep an eye on achievements or the weaknesses to support the

drive of the University for excellence. The new initiative of the DIQA satisfactorily fulfills the requirements of

the UGC Guidelines for maintaining the complete documentation of the PBAS of the faculty.

Also, as per the NAAC guidelines, the DIQA also introduced On-Line Student Feedback System on

institutional parameters, curriculum, course structure, support system, facilities, etc in order to assess the

standards of quality, adequacy and the requirement criteria.

Composition of DIQA:

DIQA operate its activities through two channels.

Advisory Body

DIQAU

Advisory Body:

Under the chairmanship of Vice-Chancellor DIQA is guided by the Advisory Committee, constituted as per the

NAAC recommendation. The Committee helps to generate and promote awareness as well as work out

procedural details for bringing in qualitative changes in teaching-learning, research and administrative setup as

well as in planning and development of DIQA. It also guides in creating methodological framework for

evaluation and promotion of the activities of faculty and administration. The DIQA Advisory Committee met

on 18-07-2012 and approved the initiatives of the DIQA for the year 2012.

Networking of DIQA at Departmental level (DIQAU):

To give representative character for effective monitoring, management, organisation and assessment, each

Department/Centre/Satellite Campus/Administration/Examination, etc elects one of their teacher/officer as

Nodal Officer as the main functionary of the Department for DIQA activities. Each such Department / Centre,

etc. has a unit called Departmental Internal Quality Assurance Unit, DIQAU, that plays pivotal role in

implementing policies for quality enhancement. Each DIQAU has maximum of seven members consisting of

Nodal Officer, 3 faculty members, one representative each of scholars and students working under the

chairmanship of HOD/Director. It helps in organizing academic and extracurricular programmes, extension

lectures, workshops, seminars, etc. and encourages younger scholars and students to promote and adopt

sustainable initiatives for value based quality education. The Nodal Officer establishes coordination among all

stakeholders like students, scholars, faculty, administration, etc for promotion and management of quality

education.

The network of DIQA was pivotal in exhibiting and presenting the information before NAAC Peer Team for

assessment and reaccreditation of the University for by NAAC that awarded the University ―Grade-A‖ valid

till September 2016.

DIQA Plans:

To achieve tangible results in a perspective plan.

To establish procedures and modalities for institutional and academic efficiency and excellence on the

basis of quality bench marks /parameters.

To strike balance between the health and growth of the University.

National Service Scheme (NSS)

Programme Coordinator: Prof. Farooq Ahmad Khan

A Brief Description:

National Service Scheme (NSS) University of Kashmir is a noble experiment in academic expansion. It

inculcates the spirit of voluntary work among the students and teachers through sustained community

interactions. It shows how to combine knowledge and action to achieve results, which are desirable for

community development. The aim of NSS in general at national level and in particular at University level is to

give an extension dimension to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service

while they are studying in educational institutions. The educated youth who are expected to take the reins of

administration in future are found to be unaware of the problems of the village/slum community and in certain

cases are indifferent towards their needs and problems. Therefore, it is necessary to arouse the social

conscience of the students and to provide them an opportunity to work with the people in the villages and slums

and in the socially neglected areas. Over the years, NSS has emerged as India‘s largest student youth

movement in linking with the community. The motto or watchword of National Service Scheme is ‗NOT ME

BUT YOU‘. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and

appreciation of the other person‘s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings.

The office of the Programme Coordinator, NSS University of Kashmir is the nodal center coordinating the NSS

activities at the university, College and secondary school level. The NSS volunteers are drawn from the

students enrolled at University/College and +2 level who form the NSS units. Each NSS unit comprises of 100

students whose activities are organised and coordinated by the respective Programme Officers. The overall

incharge of the NSS units at the University, College and +2 level is the Programme Coordinator, NSS

University of Kashmir. NSS activities have been divided in two major groups. These are regular NSS activities

and special camping programme;

Regular NSS activities: Under this, students undertake various programmes in the adopted villages,

college/school campuses and urban slums during week ends or after college hours;

Special Camping Programme: Under this, camps of 07 days duration are organised in adopted

villages or urban slums during vacations with some specific projects by involving local communities.

At present there are 160 NSS units working in 105 educational institutions at University, College and

secondary school level. However additional units would be created in near future at newly created colleges and

at the Colleges/secondary school where the demand for additional units would arise to broaden the base, scope

and coverage of NSS activities at the University of Kashmir and in its affiliated colleges. The financial

implication of the NSS unit is primarily borne by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Govt. of India. However in the

recent past, an initiative has been taken up to raise locals funds vide NSS fee to be charged @ Rs 25/= per

student enrolled at graduate/ undergraduate level as is the practice in other Universities.

University Landscape Development Division Director: Dr. Irshad Ahmad Nawchoo

The University of Kashmir is spread over an area of 104 hectares and comprises main campus, Naseem Bagh

and Mirza Bagh Campuses. Recently, however, another 13 hectares land have been procured at Zakura.

Besides these, two satellite campuses one each at Delina, Baramulla called North Campus (13.5 hectares) and

Fateh Garh, Anantnag called South Campus (15.00 hecaters) constitute part of the University. Over the years,

the University has now become a hub of intense academic and other related activities with the result that there

is enormous influx of thousand of students, University staff and general public who visit the campus almost

everyday. This has necessitated decorating the University campuses with a beautiful landscape, green turf,

high quality ornamental plants including trees, bushes, shrubs, herbs and display of well decorated potted

material etc. to make the campus colourful, bewitching and pristine. To accomplish the huge task, the

University has established a full-fledged directorate called Kashmir University Landscape Development

Division headed by a Director-a Botanist of the University faculty supported by the ancillary staff both

ministerial and in-field besides, some skilled staff who look after the mechanized equipment and maintain the

chinars in Naseem Bagh Campus. Recently, the University has initiated a dream project for establishment and

development of Chinar Heritage Park at Naseem Bagh, which is proposed to be a model Chinar conservatory

(as it hosts 694 Chinar trees) and a beautifully designed park. The University is also set at developing the

Mirza bagh Campus into pristine garden on the bank of Nigeen lake which will also provide aquatic sports

facility, a unique event among the Northern Universities of the country. To obtain tangible results within the

stipulated time, the garden development process has been mechanized, which has yielded dividends and today

the campus of our University is one of the best and most beautiful campuses in the entire country of which we

feel proud.
