Orissa government discusses next steps for Ravenshaw

August 1st, 2007

Following are some excerpts on this from a report in New Indian Express.

The State Government has proposed to the newly formed Ravenshaw University to introduce Computer Science as an elective subject in all disciplines.

… Keeping in mind the importance of information technology in the present scenario, computer education should be offered as a subject in all disciplines – art, science and commerce, the meeting observed.

The Government has also decided to fill up all teaching posts in the university this year and as a first step, all teaching staff position [*corrected*] of the erstwhile Ravenshaw College would be transferred to the university. The posts lying vacant would be filled up through recruitment. Out of the total sanctioned teaching posts of 144, as many as 26 posts are presently vacant, official sources said.

A decision has also been taken to transfer the existing lecturers to government colleges in phases and make fresh recruitment in their place. The non-teaching staff would be given an option to continue in the university or go to any government college on transfer. The meeting resolved that a decision on the introduction of new subjects in the university should be taken only after reviewing the existing self-financed courses.

Following is Sambada’s report on it.
