- Open undergraduate
programs in Universities like Utkal, Berahampur and Sambalpur Universities
to make them complete. This will be carried out in addition to existing undergraduate
colleges like BJB college etc.
Logistics:
(i) This will make the universities full fledged similar to US or UK
universities. (ii) The PG or research faculty can easily interact with
undergraduates and the UG students can participate in various research programs.
(iii) Knowledge sharing will be easier and it will have long term impact.
- Plan to provide
additional (complete) independence to the universities similar to state
universities in the US
with metrics for excellence. Even if the universities may not be
ready it will give them an opportunity for excellence.
- Merit based salary
increase in academics in addition to structured promotion will attract
bright students to stay back in academia.
- Student graduation
rate with quality (minimum required knowledge) of these universities needs
to be evaluated in regular basis.
- Invest heavily in
technology for campuses: (i) University operation needs to be transferred
to entirely computer based which will lead to transparency, reduce paper
work and bureaucracy. (ii) Every student whether humanities, science or
engineering required to have minimum technology (computer) literacy.
