A
university is a centre of higher studies and research. Final assessment of acquired
knowledge and honed skill of one is made by a university. On the basis of this,
a degree is awarded to a student-researcher further to enable one to step
forward to achieve a goal in life through Purushartha
–righteous acts, prudence and dedication in particular. Undoubtedly, a
university lays down a roadmap to one according to achievements made by him on
the basis of his endeavours, intellect and skill, and guides him to embark on a
successful life journey. Therefore, the significance of a university in man’s
life is self-evident. An educationist always wishes a university to be capable
of fulfilling desired expectations according its basic spirit and purpose. Continuous
availability of well experienced professors, worthy study-materials and
facilities for research and experiments are the basic necessary features of a
good university. However, creation of syllabi according to the demand of time
and space, and their implementation is, in fact, the foremost expectation of
the day from a university. Further, in these days of rapidly increasing process
of globalization, co-operation and co-ordination with other institutions of
higher studies and research, and exchange of programmes/achievements at
national and international platforms, is the most important. It is the higher
expectation from a successful university toady. Autonomy and self-sufficiency
are not only important for a university, but is the acid test of the real
progress and achievements made by it on its own strength and guidelines. A university
must be self-sufficient through its own resources –performance in the economic
field. Through this a university can achieve its objective. Only a self-reliant
university can be an absolute institution that a true educationist envisions to
produce a constructive society. Moreover, a university is expected to maintain
discipline along with safeguarding national values, culture and the way of
life. A visionary leading a university keeps these in his mind on priority, and
devises a full-proof plan to work accordingly.
