Rector’s Message
Since its inception in July 2000, the university has been gradually diversifying its degree prograMs We are continuously updating and improving the quality of our prograMs To achieve this we are always striving to attract talented scholars to our faculty and improving the library and laboratory facilities. This we hope will help inculcate a culture of research and scholarship. The real job of a university is to generate new knowledge, and we are always encouraging establishment of research centres where faculty and students are involved in research, relevant to our national needs.
While emphasizing the highest level of professional competence and personality development in our under-graduate students, it is my conviction that graduate programs should be the focal point for any university. Research leads to creation of new knowledge which is the main purpose of universities all over. Progress of humanity is fuelled by each new discovery and development. Nations which invest in research today can expect rich dividends tomorrow.
