The logo of the Central University of Gujarat is a

statement about our vision regarding the

transformative and creative potential of education

we would like to deploy in Indian society.

The open book symbolizes the generation and

dissemination of knowledge which the Central University

of Gujarat will facilitate through its academic

programmes and policies.

The rays of the sun that beam out of the open book

suggest the enlightening effect of knowledge on society.

Gujarat is in the forefront of industrialization in India. The

fiery rays also represent natural oil and gas gushing forth

from the depth of the earth, and in turn the energy that

accelerates the momentum of industrialization.

Logo

The map of Gujarat stands for not only this land of great visionaries like Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel, but its rich pluralist cultural ethos and its enterprising people whose contribution towards nation-building in every field has been immense.

By superimposing the Ashok Chakra on the map of Gujarat, framed by the open book, the national character of the Central University of Gujarat is highlighted. The wheel also signifies our commitment to truth, creativity, progress and the dynamism of a peaceful change.

The colour blue is associated with the vast sky. Its elemental nature is a reminder that the sky is the limit for us in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence. The colour of the rays also represents the natural oil that keeps the wheels of development moving

Vice-Chancellor’s Message

Central University of Gujarat is one of the fifteen Central Universities established in the year 2009, by an Act of Parliament (25 of 2009).

Establishment of Central University of Gujarat is a part of the second wave of expansion of Indian higher education when the focus has shifted from the creation of an industrialized society demanding skills to a knowledge society that stresses multiple competencies. The mandate of the University is to provide access to quality higher education with equity and equality as well as its relevance in life.

No country can sustain its level of growth and development without continually upgrading the quality of human resources and setting new goals of excellence. The larger goal of nation building demands a higher education system that can set high scholastic standards of teaching and research, along with strict adherence to the values of democratic norms and high ethic standards.

During its one year of existence, our University has started functioning from its temporary premises in the Sector 30 of Gandhinagar in Gujarat. Three courses commenced during this year, all research programmes in the form of integrated M.Phil/Ph.D courses. As we write this report we have expanded our academic programmes to ten, out of which three are Post-Graduate programmes, one is a five-year integrated programme and the remaining six are M.Phil/Ph.D integrated programmes.

During the first year of its academic existence, our focus was getting in place the primary facilities like a library with more than 5000 books worth more than a crore, a cyber library with inflibnet facility and WIFI connectivity. Our classrooms are equipped with LCD projectors and Air Conditioners. We have a dedicated

faculty combining maturity of experience with young talent. The selection of teachers on contract was through an open seminar where all applicants were present throughout the presentations and discussions.

The University has acquired a bus which will connect our temporary campus with other major educational and research institutions of Ahmedabad, facilitating interactions and dialogues.

We established a well-equipped Chemistry laboratory in the very first year and in the second year, we have acquired some of the most vital equipments for advanced research in Life Sciences and Chemical Sciences. The quality of research in these departments is bound to have a boost with the arrival of instruments like 500 MHz NMR, LC-MS-QTOF, FTIR, HPLC – (nano-LC), GC-MS, DSC, Anton-paar, CHNS/O Analyzer, Survismeter etc.

We have initiated interdisciplinary academic programmes such as Science, Society and Development, Comparative Literature and Internal Security. In the second year, we have also gone in for innovative programmes like Social Management which will combine the best elements of Social Work and Business Management along with emphasis on field work. We follow the Semester System and Choice-based Credit system that has built-in provisions for auditing courses outside one’s own discipline of study. Interactive teaching has ensured the participation of students in the class room. There is also a component of compulsory project work. The boundaries between disciplines are kept permeable and porous with the result that a climate of active dialogue is encouraged among natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Through teaching and research, we would try to inculcate academic virtues among the students like scientific scrutiny, logical questioning and critical evaluation which would make them responsible citizens, national asset and cultural ambassadors of Gujarat state.

We would like to put on record the support and cooperation received from the Government of Gujarat particularly the Ministry of Higher Education at every stage.

This report gives me an opportunity to place before you what we have been striving to do in our institution. We are open to suggestions, criticism and comments

This Annual Report of the Central University of Gujarat chronicles the period from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010. The first Annual Report of the

University covered the period from 3 March 2009 – when the Central University of Gujarat came into existence – to 31 March 2009. It was placed before the Executive Council under item no. 23, at its meeting held on 16 January 2010. The report was approved by the Council.

The University witnessed intense and productive academic and administrative activities during the period of this report. The first stage was the setting up of the University’s interim campus. This came about with the allotment of a primary school building and its campus to the University in Sector-30, Gandhinagar. The premises were handed over on 5 September 2009. The University received active support of the CPWD in reworking the place. Academic activities of the University began on 9 September 2009.

The University made steady progress during the period covered in this report. Academic initiatives and engagements were the principal components of this growth. Chief among such activities were admissions for the first academic year 2009–10; series of meetings to design syllabi for the academic programmes sanctioned by the University Grants Commission (UGC); seminars by visiting faculty members and scholars; visits by the University’s faculty members to other academic institutions to conduct seminars and attend conferences; and successful celebration of a week-long cultural-cum-sports programme to commemorate the first annual day of the University, which fell on 3 March 2010

Syllabus Committee and Adhoc Board of Studies Meetings

For any academic programme to make an impact on society, it is necessary to frame the curriculum incorporating the most advanced components. The Central University of Gujarat was fortunate in receiving the counsel of the leading experts in each field while framing the syllabus. An initial meeting of the Academic Council laid the broad

foundation for the academic programmes. Subsequently, experts in each subject met and framed detailed syllabus in each discipline, keeping in mind the interdisciplinary character of the subjects. A series of meetings were conducted to finalize the syllabi for various courses proposed to be offered during the year 2009–10 and 2010–11. The details of these programmes are given below:

The involvement of the best minds in each of the disciplines has given our syllabi both rigour and range. The syllabi

were accorded approval by the Ad-hoc Board of Studies at its meeting held on 05.08.2009
