FOREWORD

In the continuing task of nation building, Bangalore University is trying

to promote excellence in higher education for a vibrant and inclusive

society through knowledge creation and dissemination. It is making

sincere efforts to contribute its mite by providing the right kind of

human resources. It is striving hard to impart quality education to meet

national and global challenges, towards accomplishing its mission. For students, the

degree represents certification of competence, and a passport to advanced education or

gainful employment, and livelihood and prosperity. They have an important role to play

in the development of the Nation and hence have to handle their future with confidence

and capability.

The University is pursuing the holistic approach as education bereft of values is

meaningless and not worthy of promotion. Education is meant to inculcate right values

among students to produce socially sensitive citizens. Thus it encourages not only

curricular activities, but also co-curricular, extra-curricular and extension activities

Bangalore University took birth in the year 1964 with only 32 colleges and a student

population of 16,000. Today Bangalore University is one of the largest Universities

specialized centres and 3 integrated programmes. It has also 3 constituent

Education.

Bangalore University has completed 50 years of its fruitful existence. It can be
