teachers • It will have well-defined and focused research theme, leading to a

collection of interrelated and progressively conducted possible thesis research topics.

• The title of each research theme will be identified and remain unchanged during each phase of the Project.

• Annual proposals would update a collection of a few theses topics to be conducted under Umbrella-Net students during the year.

• The framework of research themes and possible thesis topics under each research theme will be “master planned” by the Coordinating University(s) by taking account of discussions with and suggestions by other Member Departments particularly Sending Universities of students.

16

Rs.400 Lacs2. Procurement of High Quality E- ResourcesA state level Consortia  "State Library and Information Services Infrastructure"( SLISI) will be established at CBL University, Bhiwani to subscribe university focus specific e-resources other than subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities and UGCINFONET resources for technical institutions; and ii) access to selected e-resources to Universities/ Colleges. The SLISI will provide access to e-resources to students, researchers and faculty from colleges, universities and other beneficiary institutions through server(s) installed at the SLISI Centre to be established in one of the state university. The authorized users from colleges and universities will be able to access e-resources and download articles required by them directly from the publisher's website once they are duly authenticated as authorized users through servers deployed at the SLISI Centre.ComponentsThe project will have four distinct components, i.e. i) to subscribe and provide access to selected e-resources to technical institutions of the state and monitor its usage; ii) to subscribe and provide access to selected e-resources to selected universities and monitor its usage; iii) to subscribe and provide access to selected e-resources to Govt./ Govt.-aided colleges and monitor its usage; and iv) to act as a Monitoring Agency for colleges and universities and evaluate, promote, impart training and monitor all activities involved in the process of providing effective and efficient access to e-resources.

i) E-JournalsThere is a great demand for subscription of e-journals published by Elsevier. This database is available through Elsevier’s Science Direct portal. Subscription of Science Direct (selected journals) and Science Direct archive (Basic Sc Collection) will cost around.

Rs.200 Lacs.ii) E-Books

The reputed publishers are now producing e-books on a large scale. They are, in fact, making their databases accessible online. The SLISI proposes to subscribe the databases of five reputed publishers, namely, Francis and Taylor, Elsevier, Oxford University Press, Springer-Verlag and Cambridge University Press.

17

Rs.265 Lacs. iii) Anti plagiarism software

To keep track on the piracy in the intellectual contents, it is very much required that and anti plagiarism software be purchased from some standard company. It would help in improving the quality of the research.

Rs.35 Lacs.iv) Development of e-contents

a. Develop technical support for the development of e-Content. b. E-content will be developed for revised curricular based on CBCS

(Choice Based Credit System)c. Content for various subjects with particular focus on State Issues d. E-lectures (audio-visual aids)

e. PDF Files Rs.400 Lacs.

3. Upgradation of Library Facilities i. Construction of Reading Hall and Strengthening of Reading HallConstruction of Reading Hall and Strengthening of Reading Environment (Air-conditioning of Reading Halls) in Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Sirsa, Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya, Khanpur Kalan (Sonepat), Indira Gandhi University Meerpur (Rewari), Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University, Jind and Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani. Cosy reading environment is a pre-requisite for serious study. But cozy reading environment stands opposite to hostile weather during majority part of the year around this part of the country. Ideally such an environment should be provided in the class rooms, hostels and library. But it can and should be provided at least at one place in the University premises.

Rs. 2000 Lacs ii. Furniture (Reading/ Computer Chairs) –

There is a need for the replacement of dilapidated chairs and tables, and addition of more chairs and tables to meet the increasing strength of library users.

Rs.100 Lacsiii. Generator Set – Electricity failure is a common phenomenon in Haryana. Frequent failure causes disturbance in the reading tempo. As such, uninterrupted power supply to library is an essential requirement. Ten sets of Generator Set of 18

250 KVA capacity will be required for various universities.Rs.500

Lacsiv. Installation of Solar System for Lights and Fans – Environmental degradation is a matter of great concern today. It is engaging the attention of political dispensations and other who matter at international level. The conventional energy, produced in Nuclear or Thermal or Hydraulic Power Plants, is one of the major factors for environmental degradation. Use of non-conventional renewable energy is the only alternative for the protection of environment. Library is one place where solar energy system can be put in place, at least for lighting and running of fans round the clock throughout the year. The solar energy system will be established to meet the library requirement of the five main universities of the state.

Rs.350 Lacs4. Upgradation of Existing Laboratory Facilities The existing teaching laboratories will be upgraded by modern equipments.

Rs.1000 Lacs5. Initiative to Attract Top- rated International Faculty: The state has planned to hold series of lectures by inviting eminent persons of different areas under “Chancellor's Lecture Series”. Under this program, persons from abroad and India will be invited and series of lectures under various faculties will be conducted. University will provide free hospitality and all other financial incentives for these. Efforts will be made to ask such faculty to serve this University as guest faculty.

Rs. 100 Lacs6. Competitive Compensation for Faculty It is proposed to provide seed money to young faculty and some awards to senior faculty for doing outstanding research work.

Rs. 100 Lacs7. Initiatives to attract High Quality Researchers and Students Universities are awarding University Research Scholarships in various

Departments for Ph.D program, but the amount of fellowship is very small as compared to other funding agencies like UGC, CSIR etc. It is proposed to award University Research Fellowship ( RUSA Fellowship) to about 200 students each year and the amount of Fellowship and contingent grants would be even better than JRF/SRF of UGC/CSIR. Also, it is proposed to introduce Post Doctoral Fellowship and Research Associate ship (30 No’s)

19

each year at par with other funding agencies. This proposal will certainly help to attract researchers of high quality.

Rs.1000 Lacs8. Exposure Visits for both Faculty and Students

It is proposed to introduce exchange programmes or provide support for travel and maintenance grant for short term training courses with world-class institutions to such teachers and students out of this component.

Rs. 100 Lacs9. Initiative to scale up Industry-Academia Partnership:The Corporate Resource Centre would be established to help promoting the Industry-Academia interface and analyze the expertise available for consultancy so that they can be utilized accordingly. Industry Liaison Cell would be set up in the Universities to provide interface between industry and academia.

Rs. 100 Lacs10. Inter- Disciplinary and Trans Disciplinary Research Centres:Centre for Control of Vector Borne diseases Vector born disease is the most common problem today, nearly half of world’s population is infected with at least one type of vector-borne pathogen like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and plague. Although many mosquito-borne human illnesses are controlled in many parts of world due to habitat modification and pesticides but malaria and dengue fever have re-emerged in Asia and America. Due to high impacts of vector-borne diseases on our health, animal health and our crops; there should be rapid, sensitive, specific and cost effective method for surveillance in vector and clinical diagnosis in the patients. The strategies should be designed to achieve maximum control benefits in the most cost effective manner, while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystems and adverse side effects on public health from the excessive use of chemicals in vector control.

Hence there is a collective approach of biotechnologist, clinician, zoologist, microbiologist, statistician, agriculture biotechnologist, chemist, physicist, and botanist any many others to understanding controlling these complex diseases. The research shall be extended to community health policy planning through epidemedogical support.

Haryana is an agriculture dominant state so this becomes imperative to monitor the health of water resources more scientifically. It has been observed that the ground water table is declining in fresh ground water areas in the state such as Yamuna Nagar, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Panchkula districts in north and Mahendergarh, Gurgaon and Rewari districts in south whereas it is having upcoming trend in areas having poor ground water quality such as Rohtak, Hisar, Bhiwani, Jind and Sirsa districts in central Haryana. This requires immediate attention for monitoring the health and extent of the reservoirs. The Geoinformatics technology can help very effectively in this cause by integrating remote sensing, geophysical and field data. A systematic study of the earth resources from the perspective of long term societal benefits needs to be done. This call for an establishment of a centre in an academic institution which can better integrate the academia, industry and society and result into the ground implementation of such results derived from the studies. It will require following Instruments and collateral satellite data.

Rs. 300 Lacs11. Support for setting up of Science Park and Cutting Edge Technology and Instrumentation FacilitiesThere are twelve state universities. Each university has specific focus like M.D. University, Rohtak has strong base of Life Sciences, Kurukshetra University with Physical Sciences, Guru Jambheshwar University with Nano Sciences and Ch. Bansi Lal University with Sports Sciences. The state would like to develop Central Instrumentation Facility in each university for particular areas specific to that university as mentioned below . ● MDU Life Science• KU Physics• CDLU Chemistry• CBLU Sports Sciences & Public Health• GJU Nano Sciences • BPSMU Nutrition Biology

There are number of researchers of high scientific creativity and skill in the Universities but significant research facilities are not available where academicians, researchers, technologists can get together and share their views. The state government wishes to develop a High Tech Convention Centre in each university. Universities needs state-of-the-art sophisticated 21

equipments, various workshops and support facilities in order to cater to the needs of different departments with sophisticated instruments with maximum utilization. The Universities needs to upgrade and expand the Central Instrumentation facility. The primary objective of Central Instrumentation facility will be to provide best research and analytical services facilities, keeping in view the technological needs of its entire undergraduate, postgraduate and research students. Whenever required, outside users from Industries, Research & Development Organizations and other educational institutions will be sharing these facilities. Central Instrumentation facility will provide technological infrastructure and instruments with SOPs for advance research for various inter-disciplinary research groups under one roof. Further, such facilities will encourage young people to design and execute novel ideas and improve quality of research in the University and the Research Institutes in entire region. The tentative list of instruments is appended herewith (Appendix 1).
