Professor Deba Kumar Tripathy is dreaming to make the Vira Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), a global institution.And the Vice Chancellor of VSSUT strongly feels that the institution has the potential to be a global player.So he opened his cards on 21 October here in front of the students, who echoed their VC in a big way.He said “i am amazed at the way you students correlating with me and it is by this mutual co-operation we can improve things in my 2 years tenure.”
His words were really encouraging and showed us the glimpse of the bright future we can have, said a student. Lastly VC said “lets work together to bring the lost glory of UCE back and make the most of it to make its image global.”
Students shared their views, opinions, problems etc with Prof. Tripathy.Some of the final year students draw attention to some of the very crucial points.
The points of concern were as follows :
Acquisition of the land surrounding VSSUT campus , cleared by the Water Resource Dept. at the earliest.
Improvement of the basic infrastructural requirements like well furnished classrooms & laboratories, electricity , drinking facility, proper transport facilities etc
Appointment of adequate faculty members and laboratory assistants and filling up the vacant senior faculty posts in all departments was requested.
Complete renovation of the Central Library Facility with computerization and issuing at least a few international journals.
Establishing another fully equipped Seminar hall with higher capacity
Renovation of the AVC with Integrated Light & Sound System
Proper maintenance of the college website with a student database and log in facility
Availing internet facility throughout the campus with 24X7 service was asked for.
There are also some of the issues which students think can be improved upon like
Developing a Students’ Activities Center (SAC) like in IITs comprising of all student activities.
Encouraging inter college participation in various events
Opening a night canteen in the campus and development of the hostel and mess facilities, was demanded.
ATM & Bank Extension in campus was also requested.
VC said all these aspects have been included in the Development Plan of the Varsity.
Prof.Tripathy said that our Alumni Association has always extended their valuable and timely support which is remarkable.
They have to play a major role in turning UCE to VSSUT on global map, said the VC.
