in self-directed learning and makes it possible for them to work with research
institutes and in research projects in famed institutions.

2.3.5 What is the College policy on inviting experts/people of eminence to provide
lectures/seminars for students?

All Departments engage in conducting seminars, workshops and association-level
activities where opportunities to invite resource persons in specific fields of study are
possible. More than 180 such lectures/seminars/panel discussions were arranged in
College by various departments during the current assessment period. Visiting
resource-persons are provided accommodation on campus. Numerous eminent
personalities have visited the College during the past four years.When it is known that
an eminent scholar is in the city on academic work, faculty members acquainted with
them invite them to College. The College has begun a ‗scholar on campus‘ program.
The following list is a mere sample of names of resource persons from different
departments. More details are available in the individual departmental profiles
