The successive waves of Covid-19 pandemic through 2020 and 2021 had not only forced us into unforeseen suffering, misery and disruptions at personal levels, but also as an institution. Our academic calendar got unsettled and delayed. Few of our students lost their parents, many parents lost their employment, yet constant persuasion and encouragement from our teachers didn’t allow them to drop out of their studies. In spite of initial difficulties, all our stakeholders eventually succeeded to cope with the new normalcy. We activated our online Learning Management System as early as 2021 to facilitate hybrid mode of teaching learning to compensatefor disrupted academic activities. We conducted multiple Covid-19 vaccination campsin 2021 to achieve 100% vaccination among our employees and around 85-90% among our students. It is a matter of great satisfaction that in spite of the pandemic, a record number of 1861 students have taken admission in different under-graduate and post-graduate programmes in the academic session 2021-22. I would like to appreciate the efforts made by all stakeholders of the University fraternity in tiding over the pandemic crisis smoothly and successfully.

I would like to inform you all that, in pursuance of the directives of UGC, Tripura University has decided to participate in CUET conducted by NTA from the session 2022-23 for all under-graduate and post-graduate programmes. The University is also committed to implement National Education Policy 2020 at the undergraduate level from 2022-23 session onwards, for which the preparations are in full swing.As you are aware that Tripura University has successfully completed the DVV stage of the NAAC process and is at present preparing for the NAAC Peer team visit. I thank the IQAC, the NAAC Task Force and all Departments/Branches/Sections for their commitment and hard work till now. With the continued earnest cooperation and support of all the stakeholders, we are confident that NAAC visit will be fruitful in achieving our goals.

On behalf of the university, I wish you all the very best, with the hope that the year ahead brings us closer to our goals as a University and allow us to grow in every aspect of our lives.

With best wishes.

Prof. Ganga Prasad Prasain
