Message

From The Vice-Chancellor

T

he University of Kashmir is committed to furthering such knowledge as is diverse, useful and universal so that every step forward ignites thought and necessitates fresh inquiry. It aims at individual’s emancipation while showing respect to the values of goodness, efficiency and excellence tempered by vigorous pursuit of truth. Universities are nerve centres of creative thinking innovation and learning. Being the highest seat of learning, it helps in the development of powers of mind, cultivation of positive at-titudes and promotion of moral and intellectual values. I visualize University of Kashmir as a great school of human dynamism and a vibrant centre for promoting a rational outlook and nurturing sci-entific temper among the youth. The basic objective of University education is to build a vibrant knowledge society.

In the process of rebuilding the University of Kashmir into a keen-ly sought-after institution of higher learning everybody associated with it has to demonstrate an attitude of concern. We are committed

to the creation of a system that would provide the right platform where new ideas would flourish, so that an inquisitive distance learner finds the right ambience to have a mind that is opened by wonder rather than one that is closed by belief. A system which encourages superficial approach will take us nowhere as it only finds sustenance in a culture of entrenched mediocrity which has no place in the contemporary scheme of things where nothing counts but individual merit, in-depth study and professional competence. Let us all join hands to put the University of Kashmir on the growth trajectory.

There has been a huge expansion of higher education. However, the rise in the number of aspirants for higher education has not been in tune with the available resources. In order to meet this challenge, Distance and Open Mode of learning has emerged as an alternative and cost effective mode of education.

Distance Education as an important organ of University of Kashmir provides vast opportunities of higher education to the knowledge seek-ers and to those who wish to enhance their qualifications. Thousands of students belonging to far flung areas are taking advantage of this system of education. In addition to the conventional courses, our Directorate of Distance Education is offering a wide range of professional and job oriented courses.

I am glad to learn that the Directorate of Distance Education has taken quality measures by way of introducing single window information student services, e-governance initiatives, strengthening student support services and increasing access, equity and excellence by reaching geographically challenged areas through a network of well equipped 13 study-cum-information centres. It gives me immense pleasure to intimate you that the Directorate is announcing admissions for B.Ed/M.Ed & DPPTT programmes for the academic year 2013. Our endea-vour is to achieve the goal of providing quality education. I am sure that the Directorate will continue to work for the betterment of student community with dedication.

For the capacity building of the faculty involved in ODL system the Directorate organized a series of seminars, workshops, confer-ences and orientation programmes. The Directorate has the distinction of being a forerunner in maintaining the quality assurance in Distance Education in the state. I am grateful to my team of colleagues for their extra ordinary support to the learners at all times.

Entrepreneurship and IT have proven to be the backbone of our country, in this context Directorate of Distance Education has conducted many Entrepreneurship Development activities which have yielded positive results. I am happy to share with you that many of our pass outs are not only serving in very high positions in the public and private sectors of the state but also are working as successful entrepreneurs.

Pre-Primary Education is educational pyramid of the future of the child. Here the foundations are laid for future citizens of the nation. Though it is true that parents are best educators of their children, the importance of teachers in pre-school teaching cannot be ignored.

Indian Edu-cation Commission recommends that the staff of the nursery should be trained as per the principles of Child Psychology. A number of such institutes are already in existence but their number is very meager. Teachers training programme should aim at helping the trainees to develop a positive self confidence and professional identity to provide an environment where a child will feel happy and secure so that over- all development takes place in the right perspective. The main objective of this course is to provide an alterna-tive method of training to Pre-Service and In-Service teachers for blending Pedagogical theory with practice. The facility will be extended even to the fresher’s who are desirous to attain this professional degree.

Post-Graduate Diploma In Business Entrepreneurship

From the social and macro-economic perspective it is believed that the economic development of any nation depends upon the quality of entrepreneurs it supplies. Entrepreneurs discover opportunities and exploit them to their own benefit as well as to the benefit of the society. Therefore, entrepreneurship needs to be encouraged, promoted and supplemented for the benefit of the ag-gregate economy.

Despite the fact that there has been a tremendous potential for establishment of various industries in Jammu and Kashmir, there are only few institutions in the state to provide education in the area of entrepreneurship and to work for the entrepreneurship de-velopment through well conceived and well directed activities. Therefore, there was an urgent need to design a course in business entrepreneurship for providing education in entrepreneurship and for promoting the culture of entrepreneurship in the state. Keep-ing this in view the present course, PG Diploma in Business Entrepreneurship is designed for the benefit of existKeep-ing and potential entrepreneurs. The course focuses on developing superior skills in existing and potential entrepreneurs and inculcates the spirit of entrepreneurship into the psyche of the present generation. Moreover, the course is expected to sharpen the entrepreneurial skills of professionals particularly that of MBAs, M.Coms and MFCs.

Post Graduate Diploma Cyber Law

In view of the change of socio-economic structure of the country, there has been growing desire among the people belonging to different walks of life to know more and more about special branches of law and therefore, there is a great demand for specializa-tion in different fields. Moreover, specializaspecializa-tion makes a person perfect in the field opening up a wide horizon of job and employ-ment opportunities. Last part of the 20th Century witnessed growth of new type of commerce popularly called as “E-commerce”. The businessmen in India, like other parts of the globe executed transactions electronically much before the enactment of any legislation on the subject. The flexibility, speed and efficiency of this new technology “digital technology” has made it the most important vehicle for executing all types of business and official transactions. This new found medium has impacted upon differ-ent branches of law. Most of the laws in India were enacted keeping in view tangible documdiffer-ents. This technology is paperless as well as borderless, so the present laws are not flexible to encompass this new technology. The importance of this new technology necessitated enactment of new laws which cover many facets of E-commerce, Cyber Crimes, Digital Signatures, Copyright, Do-main Names and Regulatory Appellate Tribunals. The laws governing “Digital Technology” are recent in origin and therefore are not studied in traditional legal education. Keeping in view importance of this technology and the non-availability of courses on this subject in the law institutions of our state, it will be highly beneficial for the students especially to budding lawyers, IT profes-sionals, employees working in various Government Departments / Public/ Private Sector undertakings and for other students who want to build their career in this field. In view of the above facts the Directorate of Distance Education launched P.G. Diploma in Cyber Law.

Objectives:

The objectives of the programme are as follows:

1. To provide education on Cyber Laws to the interested and desirous students to train them in this job-oriented programme. 2. To provide opportunities to the in-service employees for gaining specialized knowledge and competence in the field of

Cyber Laws.

3. To provide trained manpower to the growing IT sector in the state/country.

Eligibility:

i) Graduate in any discipline with (10+2+3) pattern. ii) Any law graduate /LL.B Professional

iii) Any other qualification which is recognized by the University of Kashmir as equivalent thereto.
