It is a thriving university which focuses on the generation and dissemination of knowledge and attaches equal importance to classroom teaching and research. It embraces global quality assurance mechanism to boost the power and professionalism of the teaching and nonteaching staff with a view to ensuring quality education and research through the deployment of ICT facilities.
