Vision & Mission
Vision:
The university believes in a vision befitting with its motto: ‘Excellence through Inclusive Education’. This vision motivates us to strive for two things: a) achievement of excellence through the means of education; b) inclusion of students with diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
To realize this vision the university has been continually upgrading human resources (both from academics and administration) as well as civil and technological infrastructure; and percolating the fruits of this high standard of education to diverse groups of students coming from different strata of the society, including students from tribal and backward backgrounds. To fulfill this interrelated vision, the university has hugely developed its information and communication infrastructure; a well-stocked, RIFD based library; and modern transportation to remote areas to bring the students to campus. ...
We also know that a beautiful mind resides in a strong body. Thus, after admission, we try to look after the development of the students’ physical fitness and ability through regular sports and athletic activities. Many all India competitions are also organized to fulfill this vision. The vision of ‘excellence through inclusive education’ is also carried forward by organizing cultural activities and regional and national competitions.
Mission:
The university was founded with a mission to provide an answer to the education needs of the region, which is surrounded by a rough forest infested areas inhabited by a number of tribal as well as socially and economically weaker sections of people. Therefore, the prime mission of the varsity, since its inception, is to blend the ethnic, socio-cultural, geographical requisites of the region with the mainstream education. It is reflected in the university logo with the motto Education, Knowledge, Progress as its mission. By ‘Education’ we mean facilitation of learning through conventional and innovative means. It promotes besides classroom teaching, cutting edge research especially in the fields of natural, biological and social sciences, and also in the domain of humanities. In this endeavour the varsity also gives special emphasis on the collection, preservation and promotion of local (tribal) knowledge and culture by establishing
a) An academic department of Santali language and literature;
b) Adivasi Research Centre and Museum; and
c) By documentation and restoration of endangered cultural texts through a project called Janalipi Archive.
The word ‘Knowledge’ signifies facts, information, and skills acquired through experience/ education; the theoretical or practical deep understanding of a subject. The varsity has taken the value of this word by heart.
