DIRECTORATE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT<br />
Community Development is an issue of global concern. It is an integral part for the<br />
development of any Nation. Although the Universities and colleges in India are actively<br />
involved in modes of teaching and research activities, they have their own limitations to<br />
contribute their research findings for the development of the communities. Now, it is more<br />
important than ever, that the Universities should have their strategies in contributing to the<br />
development of the community in their own possible ways. The Universities have an<br />
access to understand the world wide information technology and donor system which can<br />
be linked to the rural community to the opportunities that are available globally. This will<br />
pave a way to tap the funds in getting a project for the progress of poor and disadvantaged.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> co-ordinates the projects, plays a mediator and motivator role, interprets<br />
government structures, donor intentions and procedures, thus empowering the community<br />
to access these resources. The <strong>University</strong> also facilitates needs assessment, planning,<br />
training, report writing, account keeping and assists conflict management. Keeping these in<br />
view, the above centre has been opened to make S.V. <strong>University</strong> to take part actively in<br />
the activities of Community Development. Apart from the Director, the Advisory Committee<br />
and the Task Force Committee have also been constituted. They are headed by the Vice-<br />
Chancellor to execute and to monitor the Community Development Programmes.<br />

unification of mankind into co-operative enterprise on a world-scale. To this end the Centre<br />
