DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME UNDER

TECHNICAL EDUCATION QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TEQIP)

of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India
The Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP) launched by MHRD has entered into its second phase which intends to bring into its fold technical institutions in a number of states including West Bengal. In this program, technical institutions are classified into a) Lead Institutions, b) Network Institutions and c) Emergent Institutions. The gradation is based on the total marks scored by an institution by maintaining or superceding the specified standards in number of courses and intakes, level of teaching and research, publications and Ph.D., number of books and journals, other facilities etc.
In view of very high marks obtained, the Government of West Bengal (WBG) has conferred on the University College of Technology of the University of Calcutta (UCT-CU) the status of Lead Institution, qualifying it to receive financial assistance over the next four years. UCT-CU submitted well planned proposals with justified budgetary need for development of teaching and research activities, procurement of books, journals, equipment, vehicle and furniture, recruitment of staff, teachers' training in India and abroad, expansion of building etc. In addition, each Lead Institution is required to establish a link with one or two Network Institution in the state to advise and help them in their academic and other programs. Furthermore, the Lead Institution must formulate a Tribal Development Program and also take active role in the economic and academic development of the society. The WBG selected Haldia Institute of Technology (HIT), Haldia, and Government College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology, Kolkata, as the Network Institutions to tie up with UCT-CU. On the basis of discussions about the help needed by the Network Institutions, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed.
The consolidated proposal of all the nine constituent departments of UCT-CU has been submitted to WBG. All such proposals from the three Lead Institutions in WB have been forwarded by WBG to MHRD, GoI, for necessary review and evaluation.
The MHRD has finally earmarked Rs. 30 crores to UCT-CU over the present phase ending in March 2008.
INRAPHEL, as a constituent department of UCT-CU, is entitled to a share of the fund allocated. It is now augmenting its teaching and research laboratories utilizing the grant available.
A. Academic activity:
Participation in TEQIP requires reforms in academic program. Accordingly, semester system is being introduced in the B. Tech level. In addition, evaluation by the students of the courses taught is another reform to be introduced. Steps in this direction have already been undertaken.
Plans are submitted to augment the M. Tech program by introducing new specialized areas such as I) Microwave and Lightwave Technology, ii) VLSI and Nanotechnology, iii) Communication and Space Science and iv) Specials courses on Navigational Electronics like GPS, GIS etc. It is also proposed to increase the intake capacity through such expansion.
In the research area, activities in the thrust areas of CAS are proposed to be augmented. In addition, work in new areas related to proposed new specialized courses would be initiated. The manpower needed for this is expected to come from teachers in Engineering Colleges and Network Institutions, as well as regular Ph.D. scholars. The recent decision by CU to allow B. Tech degree holders to pursue Ph.D. is expected to boost up research activities.
In the proposal, there are provisions for the younger faculties to receive training in emerging areas in National Institutions and also foreign Universities. A number of teachers have already established links with different institutions for this purpose.
The proposal includes a provision for 6 JRFs, Teaching staff on contract basis and a few supporting staff like Technical Assistant. Two JRFs have been recruited in the department.


  1. Library development, Networking and Office Automation

A number of books: text-books and research monographs, have been purchased by the department and are kept in the Central Library.


  1. Equipment

As stated above, a list of equipment, carefully prepared for augmentation of teaching and research activities has been submitted. Some iof the equipment and softwares are already available.




  1. Building

Proposal has been submitted for installing a new lift in the Sisir Mitra Bhavan.


  1. Link with Network Institutions

Training of teachers in the M. Tech and Ph.D. level has been undertaken. Faculties will deliver special lectures in these institutions. Joint Workshops/Conferences have been held. Students will be allowed to do their project work in the departments of the lead institution.
