Punjabi University plans for
centre for disabled research and training
WSN Network
PATIALA:
Punjabi
University
is planning to have in 2010 a Centre for Research and Vocational
Training for Physically Disabled (CRVTPD), short-term evening
courses in videography and video editing, construction of two
synthetic lawn tennis courts and exchange programmes with world’s
top-rated universities etc.
The CRVTPD will
be set up on the university campus and the project will solely be
funded by the Central Government. The centre will help students
suffering from various disabilities by providing them free computer
education so as to ensure their 100 per cent employability against
the posts reserved for them.
The university
is also in the process of finalising tie-ups with some top-rated
universities in the world so as to provide students international
exposure in various disciplines.
“The Centre for
Advanced Media Studies (CAMS) project is at an advanced stage of
finalisation,” said Vice-Chancellor Dr Jaspal Singh. The varsity is
also contemplating to start short-term evening courses in
videography and video editing from the next session. These will be
followed by courses in direction, script and screenplay writing.
For promoting
sports, two new synthetic lawn tennis courts will come up in
university next year.
Though the
university authorities have chalked out several proposals, financial
constraints are bound to cause some hindrance in their
implementation. The authorities, however, are determined to make all
efforts to impart cost-effective advanced knowledge to the students.
