Kolhan University to introduce NAAC assessment

JAMSHEDPUR: The Kolhan University would introduce the National Assessment and Accredition Council (NAAC) assessment for colleges under the institution to improve the quality of higher education in tribal-dominated region, Pro-Vice Channcellor of the institution Dr. Shukla Mahanty said.

Mohanty, who recently joined as Pro-VC and herself a member of NAAC and National Council of Educational and Research Training (Eastern Regional Committee), said as Kolhan was an extremely backward area she would introduce distance education to enable tribals seek high studies, set up Central Library facility and publication of results within a timeframe.

Besides, a placement cell in the university would be a priority in enabling students of the area and expose them to the outside world with employment opportunities, Mohanty said.

Mohanty was the Principal of Jamshedpur Women's college before she was promoted as Pro Vice-Chancellor of Kolhan University by Jharkhand Governor-cum-Chancellor of Universities a fortnight ago.
