Dear Students, Doon University, established by the Government of Uttarakhand by a Legisletive Act, aims at to be a part of the ongoing reform processes in search for quality education in India. In particular its efforts are to contribute towards strengthening of the higher education in the state of Uttara-khand. Committed to promote academic excellence and socially relevant education, its courses and syllabus are designed to equip students to meet the challenges of the time. The upcoming campus in the beautiful surroundings of Shivalik hills and Saal forest, provides rejuvenating setting for learning and thinking.

The University is making all attempts to provide infrastructure to place its student at par with global community. Constant flow of eminent scholars, distinguished adjunct Professors, range of academic meets along with cultural events have already carved out a niche for the cam-pus. The single seated hostel facility both for boys and girls provides all the privacy to devote time according to individuals own scheduling. Besides, with the faculty staying on campus, available for counseling at any time, makes the university truly residential.

As we advance in academic programmes, our profile is going to be more dynamic. With the start of School of Languages, we are introducing with five year integrated Masters programmes in three foreign languages, namely German, Spanish and Chinese. Our effort will be to engage one visiting faculty from the country of language to provide with the nuance of language learn-ing. Taking cognizance of local concerns, all the language courses will have an English learning course till sixth semester. The Management School with four semester M.B.A programme has been conceived in the backdrop of global financial meltdown, to respond to the need for new managerial and entrepreneurial skills and culture. In the School of Social Sciences the Uni-versity is starting with MA programme in Economics. The thrust of the School is to develop multidisciplinary programme on the premise of sustainable development.We dare say that with intelligent faculty, dynamic curricula, interactive pedagogy, sound infra-structure support and responsive administration, Doon University provides you the ambiance to dream and realize your creative potential.

I am sure you would like to be part of it. Look forward to see you.

(Prof. Girijesh Pant)

Doon University draws its profile from the vision of the State to transform the higher education of the region by creating centres of excellence. The Government of Uttarakhand approved the establi s h ment of a University that would become a centre of higher learning in contemporary disciplines. The Doon University Bill, 2005 (Uttararanchal Adhiniyam Sankhya 18 of 2005) was passed by the Utt arakhand Legislative Assembly and assented by the Governor on April 23, 2005. The Act of 20 05 enacted to establish Doon University was published in the Uttarakhand Gazette on April 26, 2005.The main campus of the University is located in an area of 55 acres at Kedarpur, Dehradun. A second campus is proposed to be established on 100 acres of land at Sahaspur.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

1.2 Pedagogic ApproachesAt Doon University, the pedagogical ap-proach is premised on a basic recognition: that pedagogical choice for the twenty-first century must reflect the changing edu-cational, technological, professional and societal needs and aspirations. This recogni-tion and its acceptance, in turn, requires/de-mands a shift from the traditional forms of only classroom-based and teacher-centered instruction to a more holistic approach to acquiring knowledge and skills appropriate for the times. This pedagogical orientation is expressed in Doon University curriculum in four key elements as explained below.

aCtiVe learningStudents in Doon University are not mere recipient of knowledge. Rather, the peda-gogical emphasis here will require students to engage in a continuous process of con-struction of ideas and knowledge. Active learning fosters retention of information and knowledge and enhances the ability to apply such information and knowledge to new situations, different contexts and, unanticipated challenges. It is through

continuous engagement with peers, faculty, professionals and others that such a spirit of critical enquiry is instilled in the stu-dents. Thus, beside lectures, class presenta-tion, discussion, group work, case studies, tutorials etc are key learning activities/tools in all University curriculums. To this end, all courses in the University seek to increase the level of interaction and activ-ity in classes as well as in all other learning opportunities such as provided by the avail-ability of technology.

learning beyond the ClassrooMTo use an oft-repeated but tellingly valid adage of the times − this is an age of “infor-mation-communication.” While some of the available information may deservingly attract skepticism, a large part of it is indeed comprised of invaluable learn-ing material for contemporary academic and professional needs. Access as well as the ability to negotiate through this moun-tain of information requires students to sharpen their technological and creative skills. In addition to providing all neces-

sary books/journals/audio-video materi-als related to their respective subjects, the students will have access to dedicated computer labs, internet to facilitate learning guided by faculty and other staff.

edUCation for ProfessionEducation for all academic programs in Doon University is geared/equipped to provide students a seamless transition to their respective professional fields. Hands-on learning is therefore a key feature in all Program curriculums. Summer Intern-ship, compulsory project work in the final semester and, regular participation of visiting/guest faculty from professions are the various means through which students will sharpen their knowledge and skills for entry-level jobs.

Career skillsBeyond the basic grasp in their respec-tive subject matters, students today need

additional competencies to negotiate, compete and survive in very competitive professional environment. Ability to com-municate efficiently and effectively and to work collaboratively as team-player to solve problems and make decisions are key to successful professional careers. All courses and other academic activities, therefore, seek to integrate these elements to help stu-dents acquire these new skills. Additionally, students are encouraged to take courses in written, oral, business and professional communication as part of their degree requirement.

Incorporation of the above elements in all academic programs will provide gradu-ating students of the University a unique distinctiveness and an edge that should en-able them to approach their career choices and professional life with assurance and confidence.

The main campus of the University is located in an area of 55 acres at Kedarpur, Dehradun. A second campus is proposed to be established on 100 acres of land at Sahaspur.

Keeping the objectives of excellence and relevance, the University is establishing Schools in the area of Social Sciences, Management, and Languages from the current academic session of 2010-11. The University has already started two Schools i.e. School of Communication and School of Environment & Natural Resources offering Masters’ programme and a certificate programme in Security Management from academic session 2009-10.

SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMMES OF STUDY

2.1 School of CommunicationThe communication and media sector in India has grown several folds in the last two decades and is projected to continue growing in the coming decades. On the one hand, the industry has witnessed a virtual explosion in the process of cre-ation and consumption of information and communication and, on the other, an upsurge in the demand for knowledge and professional skills to face the challenges and the opportunities brought about by the transformative force of communication revolution.

While new areas such as the internet and multi-media, on-line Journalism, 3D graphics and animation have emerged in the field, traditional areas such as print journalism and magazine publication, radio, television, films, animation, adver-tising, public relations, event management and communication research continue to hold ground and offer exciting careers in Communication.

The School of Communication at Doon University is a response to these challenges and provides a flexible academic program to study the emerging disciplines and train students for the many exciting professional careers emerging with the convergence of

technologies and communication processes.

The School offers a 2-year Master’s Programme in Communication for students interested in any of the following areas: journalism, social and development com-munication, advertising, public relations, photography, radio, television, films, anima-tion, graphic design, multi-media, media management and research.

The Programme curriculum is wide-ranging and interdisciplinary and carefully balances theoretical and practical infor-mation. The curriculum will familiarize students with communication concepts both in theory and practice; introduce them to various streams of the communication discipline; provide hands-on experience on all relevant skill areas and; allow students to specialize in an area for entry-level jobs in communication and media sector.

As part of its professional emphasis, the Programme will provide an opportunity to students to gain practical work experience through its internship placements in relevant organization, interact with the leading professionals of the media and communica-tion sector and assist students in finding suitable placements and self-employment opportunities.

Currently, the University is in the process of building its library and audio and video studios on the campus. State-of-the-art fa-cilities and a faculty that balances academic and professional competence will comple-ment the Master’s Program.

PrograMMe of stUdyCurrently, the School offers the following Academic Programme: M.A. (Communication) Duration: 2 Years

eleCtroniC Media ProdUCtion CentreThe School of Communications is setting up a state of art Electronic Media Production Centre (EMPC) offering latest solid state technology being currently used by the me-dia industry. The Centre will be equipped with TV studio with a shooting floor of 26’ X 36’ feet for multi-camera productions, adequate number of cameras for Digital Still photography, and High-Definition Video cameras with accessories for out-door shoots. Other production equipment include Adobe software and final cut pro non-linear editing machines. Additional facilities include digital audio work sta-tions, sound recording and editing facili-

ties, multimedia lab with relevant software for print journalism, and still photography units.

Students will have access to in-depth training by award winning professionals currently working in the industry in preparing pro-grams such as documentaries, commercials, television features and audio programs.

2.2 School of Environment and Natural Resources

With increasing population density and fast-er pace of industrialization, problems related to environment and natural resources are getting acute day by day from the relatively local problems of the past such as forest degradation, desertification, and air and water pollution to problems of today such as global warming and climate change. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002 have

drawn attention to the deteriorating condi-tion of our environment requiring urgent action by governments and people. The UN Climate Change Conference to be held later this year in Copenhagen will renew the Kyoto Protocol before it runs out in 2012. Green investments provide an opportunity to accelerate innovation-led, low carbon, low waste Green economy to address natural re-sources scarcity, energy security and climate change.

Uttarakhand is one of the hyper-diversity states of the country home to more than 4,200 species of flowering plants which is 23 percent of the total flowering plants of In-dia. Many of these plant species are source for medicinal herbs used in Ayurveda, aromatric plants, and numerous non timber forest produce (NTFP) of commercial im-portance. This valuable plant wealth needs to be conserved,sustainably utilized and benefits arising out of biological resources shared equitably among stakeholders.

To tackle such environmental challenges scientifically and proactively, trained pro-fessionals in specialized areas of environ-mental sciences and natural resources are urgently required. Taking cognizance of increasing environmental problems, the Doon University established a School of

Environment and Natural Resources.The School of Environment and Natu-

ral Resources aims at meeting the needs of the society by providing advance training to students in environment and natural resources management through a struc-tured curriculum with integrated mul-tidisciplinary approach involving latest advances in the fields of physical, chemical and biological components of the environ-ment. Wherever needed emphasis will be given to geo-morphological attributes, and socio-ecological and socio-cultural aspects of mountain ecosystem highlighting issues and problems illustrated with Case Studies.

To enrich its resources in teaching and research and utilize excellent laboratory facilities/ infrastructure and expertise of scientists of some of the prominent national institutions/organizations in Dehradun, the School aims at to forge close links with Forest Research Institute (FRI), Survey of India, Indian Institute of Remote Sens-ing (IIRS), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP), Central Soil & Water Conservation Research & Training Institute (CSWCRTI), Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, and Wildlife Institute of India (WII) in imple-menting various academic programmes of the School.

aCadeMiC PrograMMes:

Currently, the School offers the followingAcademic Programme: M. Sc.

(i) Environmental Studies (ii) Natural Resource Management

Duration: 2 Years

Ph.d PrograMMeThe School of ENR has taken a major initia-tive by offering PhD Programmes in En-vironmental Studies and Natural resource Management. In the current Academic Session doctoral programme in Glaciology, Energy Resources and Environmental Pol-lution in Collaboration with Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology and Indian Institute of Petroleum, respectively is also being offered. . The innovative and interdisciplin-ary doctoral programme with mandatory course work of two semesters comprising of research methodology, analytical tech-niques, environmental modeling etc. will train a new generation of professional who will integrate natural and social sciences concepts and approaches to resolve natural resource crisis and emerging environmental problems.

forthCoMing PrograMMesUttarakhand, being predominantly a

mountainous State situated in the Central Himalayan region is prone to frequent natural disasters in the form of earth quakes, landslides, floods, Cloud bursts, forest fires, shrinking of glaciers, road ac-cidents, climatic changes etc. To train the professionals and government officials in combating these environmental problems it is proposed to start post-graduate diploma courses from this academic year.

2.3 School of LanguagesIn the emerging global world, trans

border flows are defining the life style. The revolutionary impact of technology has enhanced the expanse of communica-tion. The diverse societies are compelled to communicate and transact with each other. No wonder language learning has emerged as a vital skill. Besides it opens new vista and road to discovery. Indeed learning others language means making oneself enriched and empowered. In the making of knowledge society, in resolving globalizing tensions and conflicts in promoting under-standing, language works as the channel of communication. As a result of globalisa-tion of the economy, companies are looking for language skilled human resource to make strategic decision. In fact to maximize demographic dividend, Indian youngsters need to leverage their skills by learning foreign language. In planning its academic

charter Doon University has recognized the importance of language learning.

The School of Languages intends to pro-vide training the young Indians with major languages of world. In the first phase three foreign languages namely German, Chinese and Spanish are being introduced . The rea-son is obvious. While the affinity between German and Indian languages, specially Sanskrit needs no elaboration, the rising China has made its language a means of global commerce. Spanish is spoken in large continent of South America. Along with the languages, the curricula will contain adequate learning of history and culture of the country with focus on India’s cultural interaction with the respective society.

The courses aim at developing com-petence and proficiency in spoken as well as written language through audio-visual techniques, language laboratory, films, etc. It is five-year integrated course leading to Master’s degree. However, after successful completion of six semesters, students will have option to exit with a Bachelor’s degree.

2.4 School of ManagementWith the changing times, management studies too are evolving. In terms of time and space, Doon University is launching its programme at a juncture when global-local interface is defining knowledge territorial-ity. The School aims to be part of national

and international university based educa-tion in field of management by high quality teaching, research and skilling. Embedded to societal needs and market imperatives it is conceived as an integrated-interdisciplin-ary programme of studies with cross cul-tural, innovative-participatory learning as its hallmark. Its objective is to harness and transform the energy and talent of young India into enterprising India.

The academic programme of the school places special emphasis on industry needs. It will have three tier structure namely degree, diploma and skilling courses. The syllabus while covering the mainstream teaching on business management will be weighing in favour of courses relevant for the development of the mountain region.

MBA (Four Semesters): During first two semesters, core courses will be taught. In the third semester courses based on elec-tive specialisation will be taught. Fourth semester will be project based on elective specialisation.

2.5 School of Social SciencesThe School of Social Sciences is proposed to be multidisciplinary in profile including leading disciplines with focus on sustain-able development. It aims at to investigate, analyze and conceptualize the issues and processes of social change in society more so in the context of globalization. It also

intends to develop teaching and research programmes by synergizing the local knowledge with advance tools and meth-odologies of different disciplines of social sciences.

In the year 2010-11, it is proposed to start with MA programme in Economics. The four semester course will have core courses and elective courses. The thrust will be on developing analytical skills and their applications to emerging economic issues of time. While core courses are designed to train students with the theoretical rigour of the discipline, the elective courses are nuanced with the applied concerns of the region in its spatial dimension.

2.6 Certificate course in Security Man-agement

The increasing demand for professionals in the field of security has opened new op-portunity of employment. However there are no institutions to educate and impart skills to meet the managerial needs of the security sector. Recognizing the huge gap in the field, Doon University has stated a six

month certificate course on Security Man-agement.

A six-month certificate course has com-menced at this University to train prospec-tive managers in security, counter terrorism, fire prevention, fire fighting, and safety. To manage resources better, they are educated in personnel and material management, us-ing modern technology. They are also given training in event management, crisis and disaster management. A short Law Capsule helps them to remain within the Law; and to advise firms accordingly. Development of personalities and stress on ethics & moral values makes them better citizens, hence better managers.

The training is systematic, progressive, through lectures, discussions, practices both by day and night. The faculty include senior officers of the armed forces, and guest faculty belonging to diplomats and academicians who help to inculcate trainees to examine different perspectives of secu-rity and understand requirements security at district, state and national levels.
