The university is also planning to construct three other hostels for the other students. These three will accommodate 1,000 students The work will start in two months and we estimated that the new buildings will require Rs 72 crore. We will soon call for tenders,” said Prof S Ramachandram, OU Vice-Chancellor This apart, the university wrote to the University Grants Commission (UGC) and Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, seeking grants for establishing a research centre named after Dr BR Ambedkar. “A pylon and administrative building will also be constructed as part of the centenary celebrations,” the V-C said Non-boarders issue Meanwhile, despite several requests and counselling attempts, illegal occupants in its hostels are still a major concern for the university. Estimates show that there were about 3,000 candidates illegally staying in the hostels. The issue has become a major hurdle for the university authorities when they have to take up repair works for the ageing hostel buildings. “We have once again issued notices to non-boarders. If they fail to vacate, they have to face raids and forceful eviction,” the V-C said NAAC A+ valid for 7 years OU, which secured A+ grade of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), will enjoy the status for seven years instead of the earlier five years. According to new NAAC rules, the grading will be valid for seven years for institutions which secure ‘A’ grade twice consecutively In its report, the nine-member NAAC peer team recommended OU to fill up vacant teaching technical and other support staff positions. It also asked the varsity to procure more project-based research fund in arts, social sciences, law, education and management While lauding good infrastructure in buildings and equipment, the team said the university has strong alumni base and land for future expansion. “The recommendations of the NAAC team are in the line of our thinking. We will take its recommendations forward and implement them,” said Prof Ramachandram Convocation in November Hyderabad: After four years, OU is gearing up for the convocation in November.
