Jadavpur University is moving fast towards the bridging the language barrier and providing remote access to selected digital contents.
The university is e-archiving its administrative and academic records. For this, a research programme has been started under Professor Anirban Ray Choudhuri and Professor Mita Nasipuri.
The funding is being done under World Bank8217;s Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme TEQIP.
The e-archiving will cover the documents of the University Court, Executive Council, Academic Council, Administrative Committee meetings and articles written in Bengali and Devnagri. With this system, paper-based records storage will be modernised and minimised.
