Establishing civil services academy, revising the academic programmes, fostering a vibrant research culture, initiating student-centric initiatives, setting up a dedicated online-learning platform were among the 21 points the administration has chalked out to drive the growth and mission of the university after making an intensive analysis in consultation with diverse stakeholders.
