Now, LU students to give feedback about teachers
It would be a robust system in which the identities of the students would be protected. The new system would help in finding out what the students felt about their teachers, said Lucknow University vice chancellor Professor Alok Kumar Rai .
LUCKNOW: The students of Lucknow University will now give feedback about teachers’ skills, regularity and punctuality in class. After taking charge as vice chancellor for the second time, Professor Alok Kumar Rai held a meeting with all the deans, head of the departments, directors and other officials of the university in which he stressed on ensuring quality teaching on the campus.
Prof Rai said, “It will be a robust system in which the identities of the students will be protected. In present times, we don’t have a system to measure teachers’ performance in class. The new system will help in finding out what the students feel about their teachers.”
He urged all the deans of different faculties to supervise all the academic activities in different departments of their faculty. He instructed them to ensure a proper time-table with appropriate credits in each department. He also said that all deans must devote one hour daily to converse with research scholars of the different departments of their faculty.
Prof Rai instructed the heads of the departments to share the departmental time-table with their respective deans with appropriate credits and mention the teaching load of each faculty member. He said that the heads of the departments must ensure cleanliness and focus on the activation of the alumni cell.
Prof Rai instructed the director, Sanskritiki and president of Lucknow University Athletic Association to organize intercollegiate cultural fests and intercollegiate sports in which students from the university and affiliated colleges could participate. This would improve emotional attachment with the university and help in the holistic development of the students.
Students’ role in Ayodhya too
Lucknow University students will soon be seen working for crowd management in Ayodhya, once the Ram temple comes up. The students’ participation will be ensured through agencies that are working there.
Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES), a Government of India enterprise would prepare a report on crowd management in Ayodhya which would be implemented by the state government in the temple town. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has roped in RITES to carry out this study.
“RITES will prepare a report on crowd management in Ayodhya as the footfall of devotees will reach several lakh every month once the Ram temple comes up,” an LU official said.
