problems in emerging areas of concern. A
regular activity of the Research Division is to organise workshops/ training
programmes and seminars for university administrators and academicians.

Silchar (An Institute of National Importance) is one of the premier national
level institutions for technical education in North-East India. The institute
was established as a joint venture between Government of India and Government
of Assam as Regional Engineering College, Silchar in 1967 with the objective of
imparting quality engineering education, providing cosmopolitan outlook among
students and fostering a spirit of National Integration. This institution has
been transformed and upgraded to National Institute of Technology, Silchar with
a Deemed University Status with effect from 28.06.2002. The institute has
subsequently been made into a fully Government funded institution of India with
the Institute of National Importance Status by an Act of Parliament. The
institute is situated in a campus which spans across 540 acres of undulating
land and lakes surrounded by tea estates and hillocks providing an ideal
environment for studies.

Silchar is a fully residential Institution. At present it offers six
undergraduate courses in Engineering and a number of Post-Graduate courses in
civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics & telecommunication and computer
science engineering apart from MSc, MBA & PhD programmes.
Introduction
The phenomenal
growth of information and application of IT in the form of high degree of
computerization and transmission of electronic information has changed the
basic structure and functioning of university level institutions in some of the
developed countries. Even in the developing countries effective functioning of
universities in the present era is conditioned by automation and
computerization of management. Although projects of automation and
modernization through use of computers have tremendously speeded up activities
like transactions, management, decision making in corporate sector of India,
universities are still lagging behind in this area. The use of computer and application of IT in
the administration, finance, examination, teaching, learning process etc. in
the universities are still at initial stages. Time has come when application of
IT is inevitable, if the universities have to realize their goals effectively.
This requires not only suitable infrastructure but also trained managers in the
said areas.
Present
workshop will provide opportunities for senior administrators/ managers/
finance officers of university level institutions to learn as well as
deliberate on the issues related to use of computer and application of
information technology in the administration and management of universities in
India.
