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 />
