from the UGC. Besides Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India has
approved establishment of a Tribal Research Institute in the campus, which
will add to the infrastructure of the University. A separate Laboratory building
is also proposed to be constructed under the RUSA Scheme for which release
of financial assistance/budget is awaited from the State Government/MHRD.
The proposed Laboratory building shall be a multi story type building and
would alleviate the shortage of space to a great extent, in future.
The University has also submitted a proposal to the State Government for
converting the existing campus into a smart campus using e-governance
platform for its operations and governance.
The available infrastructure and facilities are adequate to cater to the physical
requirements of the Schools and the academic programmes at present.
However, the leadership is aware of the developmental and expansion needs of
the University to deliver its mandate and have submitted proposals to the
Government for construction of additional Hostel facilities for the Boys,
Central Library Building, faculty and staff residential facilities. All these
buildings will be multi story buildings. The construction of Central Library
Building will house the Central Library and shall also provide space for other
Schools/academic programmes. The existing space occupied by the Library at
present shall be available for teaching and other academic activities.
There are other structures and buildings to be constructed as per the master
plan, however, due to the resource/budgetary constraints the University is
finding difficult to construct the required infrastructure. This is affecting the
consolidation, development and expansion of the University to a great extent.
The University is making all the efforts to optimize the use of the available
infrastructure. Besides, using the space and facility for its own use the
University has also made attempts to generate income by way of hiring out the
faculty lodge guest house facility and conferencing facility.
With the expansion of our academic programmes and research activities the
University is experiencing shortage of space as many academic programmes
would need additional classrooms, laboratories, workshops, faculty and staff
offices and accommodation.
4.1.2 Does the university have a policy for the creation and enhancement
of infrastructure in order to promote a good teaching-learning
environment? If yes, mention a few recent initiatives.

of infrastructure. The concept paper as mentioned above is the evidence of it.
Though the administration has made its endeavour to create and maintain the
required teaching learning environment, it is at the same time, conscious of the
changing technology and learning requirements of the students. Keeping this
in view the University has also taken following initiatives:
