I'm glad to know my great ulma mata is making amazing strides in technology and has mulled to make things quite accessible. Please circulate among Ramjas students. A professional counsellor, a healthcare centre, medical insurance and an information system to access all faculty and student information as well as submit class assignments from home. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/facilities-galore-for-ramjas-college-students/article5768599.ece All these and more facilities will now be available to Ramjas College students. There is no university statute that compels any college to provide these facilities.
"Students who fall sick or are hurt on college campus have insurance up to Rs.10,000. We have our own clinic, which operates from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a nurse and a doctor on call," said Principal Rajendra Prasad. The new four-year undergraduate programme, which has made it mandatory for every student to be involved in extra-curricular activities, including sports, had compelled the college to make it compulsory for every student to get a medical test done once a year. The new "Student Information Services' system will have information regarding every student's physical and mental health records. This will remain confidential and accessible only to the student. "Automated SMSs will be sent to students whenever there is a notification regarding dates for submitting exam forms, exam schedules, interesting events that the college may be organising and even a change in the time-table. Student need not come and read the notice-board to know what is happening within the college and they need not come physically to submit their assignments. They can just download them on to the system which the teacher can then access," said Dr. Prasad. He said paper work and never-ending administrative chores are sought to be simplified with the new information system. Every student and faculty member has been given a special password to access it. "Students can log in and access any information about themselves from the time they applied for a seat until their last mark-sheet," he said. Teachers can access their service books, which keep a record of their attendance, and their monthly payslips. -- Avinash Shahi M.Phil Research Scholar Centre for The Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
