A WORD ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Calicut which celebrated its 41st Birthday last year have a new Team under the able guidance of Prof. (Dr.) M.Abdul Salam, Vice-Chancellor and Prof. K. Raveendranath the new Pro-Vice-chancellor. The University is striving hard to improve the quality in the higher education sector and to achieve 100% graduate level of education to all within a decade. Our Vice-Chancellor has a dream to make the University known in the academic world. Criticism is quite natural when we bring changes but once we accept the new ideas it becomes familiar and the critics find new subjects. With good intentions, he has planned to have e-governance [Digital Document Filing System] implemented in 2011-12. He hopes, procrastination in disposing files, sending files to different branches will come to an end in the new system of governance. It is expected that the files kept unattended at various levels can be monitored at every higher level and if needed can be pulled and orders given by the higher ups. The Vice-Chancellor expects the University Community to gladly accept this system of governance. To make himself available to the faculty always he plans to have video-conferencing facility to all teaching departments. The efforts taken by him to solve the burning problems of the student community has started yielding results. The Single Window System of admission to PG Courses of all teaching departments and affiliated colleges was widely accepted by the student community and the software for this was developed by our programmers under the leadership of Sri. V. T. Madhu, Director, Calicut University Computer Centre. The Campus community feels that if development is taking place in the present pace definitely by 2015 the University will be able to present something good before the country.
THE QUALITY POLICY

The University is committed to promote voluntarily the quality of service being provided to the Student Community. Though we have improved the services being provided, we know, still we have to go a long way. A strong administration and commitment by teachers and staff is needed to improve the quality in service.

18. Community services

Through the Compulsory Social Service Scheme (CSS), introduced at Under Graduate level in its affiliated Colleges service of the students is utilized by local bodies in the implementation of various schemes. Certificates issued by local body authorities is insisted at the time of applying for Degree certificates. In the programme, students register their names with the local panchayat who in turn entrust some work to them like taking the details pulse polio immunization, to distribute medicine against infectious diseases, to take the list of unemployed youths etc. The Adult and Continuing Education Department of the University regularly organizes training programmes in the nearby panchayats with the aim of empowering rural women. Many beneficiaries have found self employment through such training programme. This activity is very much discussed in the media. The University Health Centre provides health care facilities to the residents of Thenhipalam, Chelembra and Pallikkal Panchayats free of cost. Around 2000 people on a monthly average are benefited by this humanitarian programme of the University. 35

20. Teaching Non-teaching staff ratio

The current ratio between teaching and non-teaching staff is 1:2 as far as the teaching departments are concerned. The non-teaching staff include clerical, technical and general category. The lion share of the non-teaching staff in offices other than teaching departments is involved in examination related works. The University has over 345 affiliated institutions under its jurisdiction. About 3.5 lakh students register for their annual examinations with the University. The University sets about 30,000 question papers and conducts nearly 15000 examinations under various programme/ courses every year.
21. Improvements in the library services

ICT CENTRE FOR Visually Challenged - Libraries are considered to be the store houses of knowledge preserved in the form of books and journals. They provide easy access to information for this user community, in order to meet their variety of information requirements. But, the visually impaired people were kept out of these knowledge hubs for a long period. Of course, Braille books were available, but their contribution constituted not even a minute part of the vast ocean of the published books. Here is the relevance of the information and communication technology. With the help of the ICT, several books were converted into e-test, enabling the visually challenged to access them with the help of the screen readers. Calicut University, which is the front runner in assisting the disabled, realising the prospects of this technology very well, an Information and Communication Technology Centre for the Visually Challenged was launched on 27 January 2010 at the CH Mohammed Koya Library. The aim of the ICT centre for the visually challenged is to provide the facility to use the library more efficiently to enhance their knowledge and thereby improve in their studies. Further, after their studies if they want to be employed in the main stream society, which is now increasingly becoming IT based, computer literacy has to be provided in order to enhance their employability. The ICT Centre for the visually challenged aims to achieve both these purposes viz., the knowledge expansion and employability enhancement of the visually challenged. For imparting the computer literacy among the visually challenged, a basic data entry programme of 42 days duration is being conducted by this University of Calicut
36
Centre. The subjects covered are Data Entry, Internet surfing, emailing, CD writing and copying etc. The operating system used for this purpose is Ubuntu which is an open source OS based on the Linux platform. Till now 20 students have got benefited from this course in 6 batches. Apart from this, facility for using the library, is also given to the students. Help is given to the surf the Internet and to read the journals. Now a days, a system called DAISY (Digital Access Information System) has been introduced to aid the visually challenged. With the help of this system the e-test displayed in the monitor can be heard at the same time without an extra screen reader. Such saved books can be read conveniently. The CHMK Library, in its programme to make the visually challenged friendly got the permission from the authorities to start a DAISY Production unit and it will be started soon. Not a single university in Kerala has initiated such a novel attempt. In order to get the visually challenged acquainted to this, a workshop on the DAISY system was conducted on 22nd October 2011 in the Library. About 60 visually challenged persons participated in the workshop. A seminar was also conducted on 23rd October 2011 on Assistive Technology and Visually Challenged. The purpose of this two day programme is to make the visually challenged acquainted with the prospects of the IT to make them employable. Four persons from four different fields Mr. R. Rajan, Deputy Director, Inclusive Education, Kerala, Mr. Sudhir.R. From the corporate field, Dr. Reshmi Pramod (Ayurvedic Doctor) from the medical field and Mr. C. Habeeb, Associate Professor, Farook College from the teaching field, shared their experiences of using the screen readers. In order to spread the use of the ICT among more students, the Section Officer of the ICT centre took a three day class in the Ubuntu operating system in the Govt. Victoria College, Palakkad, which is an affiliated college of the University of Calicut. The CHMK Library and the ICT Centre will continue their efforts to make the library more visually challenged friendly, thereby enabling them to contribute their potential for the society. Digital Resource Centre - As part of the digitization of library resources the CHMK Library has completed the digital conversion of 300 Ph.D theses submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Calicut. Dspace, an open source software, is used for the digitization purpose. Taking into consideration of the increased demand on part of the students the library has initiated the work of digitizing the question papers of the various examinations conducted by the University in the previous years. Digital copies of the question papers can be given to the students on demand and the whole set of question papers will be uploaded in the library site.
