Tezpur varsity to introduce job-oriented courses
By A Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Sept 10 At a time when a sizeable chunk of students of the
North-East Region are going outside the region to pursue job-oriented courses,
the Tezpur University is introducing certain subjects in the frontier areas
particularly those which have a relevance to the potential of the region.
The courses, to be introduced shortly, would focus on food and fruit processing
technology, and pharmacology.
Disclosing this in an interactive session with the media recently at the
university, the Vice-Chancellor Prof Mihir Kanti Chaudhuri said that apart from
introducing frontier job-oriented subjects, the Tezpur University has also
taken up several steps to augment the abilities of the students, particularly
the needy and the less privileged ones, providing them with the kind of skills
required for winning a lucrative job in the modern day world, including special
courses by the IBM and NASSCOM for providing training leading to benchmark
certification.
With this as the main objective, the university has recently launched a project
called Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Project on a temporary basis.
He further mentioned that all necessary steps have been initiated for
establishing state-of-the-art facilities in the campus like a modern computer
centre with broad band global connectivity, high-end Central Instruments
Facility, a modern well-facilitated library, etc.
The university has also plans to start a second campus to meet the increasing
requirement for which the State government has been requested to provide land
at an appropriate location.
