RTM Nagpur University Online Teaching Very Soon...

SHORTAGE of qualified teachers in affiliated colleges or departments run by University will soon he a passe with Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) opting for on-line leaching mode for all college students. The lee-mres and tutorials will be recorded and uploaded on RTMNU's official website www.nagpuruniversity.org and can be accessed by any student. In the first phase, die RTMNU has decided to utilize services of highly respected and eminent academicians on key portions of all subjects in faculties of Social Sciences. Commerce, Science. Law, Management. Scholars who had authored books on social sciences and humanities will he requested to render their services. Similar pattern has been adopted by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) for Us distance mode courses.

The RTMNU which is lacing acute problem of qualified teachers in every faculty, has also decided to adopt this on-line mode in addition to traditional teaching method. Colleges will be requested to beam these lectures tor the benefit of all students and even faculty members.

According to sources. Vice-Chancellor Dr Vilas Sapkal granted his approval to this novel idea. Colleges have been asked to submit list of serving teachers who are in demand and arc known for their erudition.

Recently. 250 colleges faced the trouble and were denied permission to admit any students since they had not a single teacher. Following tough stance taken by the High Court, the RTMNU was forced to virtually black-list these colleges asking students not to take admission and denying them permission to admit students. There are hundreds of other colleges and most of the departments run by RTMNU itself are running without sufficient number of qualified teachers.

The RTMNU had initially mooted three year old idea of appointing ad-hoc teachers on yearly basis to tide over the crisis. But the State Government refused to dilute the standards and relax the norms laid down by the University Grants Commission, forcing RTMNU bosses to go for some out-of-box solution.
