The L.N. Mithila University is a
teaching-cum-affiliating University with 22 Post-Graduate
Department, 43 Constituent Colleges (i.e. managed and maintained by
the University), a fair number of affiliated colleges (i.e. colleges
admitted to the priviledge of the university) and three Government
institutions. The University is administered by the syndicate in
executive matters, by the academic council in academic matters and
by the Senate, the supreme authority of the University in all the
matters. His Excellency, the Governor of the state happens to be the
Chancellor of the University and Chairman of the senate. The
Vice-Chancellor chairs the Syndicate and the Academic Council. There
exists a Financial Committee for all financial management. The
Vice-Chancellor assisted by the Pro-Vice Chancellor is
administrative and academic head whereas the Registrar being
secretary of the Senate, Syndicate and Academic Council is the Chief
Executive Officer of the university in practice. The Financial
Advisor opines in the financial matters.
For physical, academic and fiscal developments there is provision of
a "Planning and Evaluation Committee" in the act and it is duly
constituted. For critical and comprehensive analysis on various
issues, separate statutory committees (altogether 18 in number,
detail appended) are in existence which make recommendations on the
issue of concern. Powers and duties of different bodies and officers
are prescribed in the Act and Statutes of the University (Copy
appended). The development of colleges is monitored by a "College
Development Council" while various University Departments where
Post-Graduate teaching and research in carried out, are managed by
the respective Heads of the departments (HOD). Teaching,
administration and financial management in University Departments
and constituent colleges are made through their HOD and Principals
and in affiliated colleges through their Governing body.
Since last two years, academic calender is being published regularly
and inspite of various odds we try our level best to implement it as
far as practicable.
The reservation policy is a constitutional matter and is implemented
and practiced in all the appointments right from the year 1982 when
this was introduced in the University by a statute.
Provision of confidential report in the service-book is prescribed
and in practice. The Officers try to develop administrative skills
among their subordinates through regular touch and mutual
interactions. They themselves, often participate in State/National
Seminars organised to develop proficiency in administrative and
managesial skill.
The University seldom raises the tuition fees as the various
students wings starts opposing the enhancement, and paralyzing the
functioning of the university in protest. The fee rates are in
practice almost for the last three decades. However, in some self
financing courses the fees has been fixed to cater the needs of the
department.
The university has an audit section for internal audits.
HEALTHY PRACTICES :
Though, there is no apparent
mechanism/process for internal quality checks, but the University is
trying its level best to adopt new technologies to uplift the
internal qualities, viz., computerization of various departments and
internet connections to know the latest know-how and upgrade
internal quality to match with others in the field. An M.O.U. has
been signed with I.C.A.R. for establishment of a "Makhana Research
Centre" in the University. Some self-financing courses like Distance
Education, M.B.A., P.G.D.C.A. have been started and are running.
Through N.C.C., N.S.S., Sports and Cultural programmes, the
University tries to inculcate civic responsibilities among the
students
