From Vice Chancellor's Desk

It gives me immense pleasure to express that the Kumaun University has successfully completed another milestone of its mission. The vision of the University is high quality educational experience. This vision can only be realized, among other things, if there is a well expressed strategic plan that guides the University. During the last two academic years, the University embarked on a process of developing its strategic plan, and to date has completed the process of reviewing where it is coming from and where it is now. Soon, it will start on the process of where it is going, why it is going and how it will arrive there. More than hundred academic and related activities and events organized by our University in last two years are self-evident in this perspective. I believe that this University will not be diverted from its course towards academic excellence. Kumaun University has, since its inception, valued the concern for the right kind of education. I can, with great pride and pleasure, state that the students have been provided with a grooming ground, that has transformed them into not just skilled citizens, but also, into individuals that possess a keen sense to inquire, observe, comprehend, learn and contribute.

I take the opportunity to extend my sincere appreciation to our Chancellor, the Government, the UGC, members of the Court and the Executive Council, the Academic and administrative fraternity for providing unstinted cooperation and support to the University in its march towards its mission.

I also wish to take this opportunity to welcome academicians and all those interested in higher education to our University. We welcome your interest and invite your further inquiry and hope for your help to fulfill our mission.
