From the Vice-Chancellor’s Desk

Central University of Bihar (CUB) has completed five years of vibrant and steadygrowth under the dynamic leadership of the First Vice-Chancellor, Professor JanakPandey. The University was established with the aims and purposes such as promotingadvanced learning and research; building the capabilities to reasoning; impartingemployment skills; promoting culture of high integrity in various aspects of life in thesociety; and, serving local and regional communities in Bihar, in particular, as well asnational interests at home and abroad. The University by now finds a place in theacademic atlas of the country by virtue of its policies regarding appointment of faculty,admission of students, teaching and evaluation methods, research and, of course, socialoutreach. The structured and formalised interactions with the external experts inrespective fields of education, and concerned citizens, in general, in order to updatingthe course curriculum and to identify emerging frontiers of knowledge have enabledCUB to consolidate and grow in a systematic manner.

The Government of India has transferred 300 acres of land recently located atPanchanpur, near Gaya, to help building the campus of CUB. The Foundation Stoneof the campus was laid by the Hon’ble Chancellor Smt. Meira Kumar, Speaker of theLok Sabha, in the gracious presence of the First Vice-Chancellor Prof. Janak Pandey,and the distinguished guest, among others, Shri P. K. Shahi, Hon’ble EducationMinister, Government of Bihar, on 27 February, 2014. The University now looksforward to unhindered but judicious expansion in terms of academic plans andprogrammes in its new campus, a part of which is to take shape before long.

The current postgraduate programmes in CUB cover basic and applied sciences;social sciences; human sciences; besides, five-year Integrated BA.LLB. (Hons.), andBSc.LLB. (Hons.); and four-year Integrated Dual Degree BA.BEd and BSc.BEd for10+2 students. The University has also launched the Integrated MPhil-PhD programmehosted by several departments/centres. Of the academic plans in the offing, the graduatedegree programme in Arts and Crafts under the School of Vocational Studies holdspriority. Another marked priority of CUB is to building the University-industrylinkages. As Socrates argues: democracy needs citizens who can think for themselves,and who can reason together about their choices. Whether you are a prospective student,or a visitor, your interest is valued and appreciated as this is a University of the people,and of equal opportunities.

Prof. Debdas Banerjee

3. School of Social Sciences and PolicyThe School of Social Sciences and Policy

embodies cohesiveness of multiple disciplines thatinstantly seek its relevance in understanding andanalysing human behaviour in an integratedframework. The school has four centres namelyCentre for Development Studies, Centre forEconomic Studies and Policy, Centre forSociological Studies and Centre for Political Studies.It continuously endeavours to blend its teachingengagement with empirical research. Academicprogrammes based on the emerging debates both inthe theoretical and empirical planes in respectivedisciplines also see its engagement in continuoussearch for building- up a new knowledge baserelevant to the developing world particularly. Forteaching, research and training, the School of SocialSciences and Policy looks forward to learn from thedevelopment experiences of the world at large. Inthe process, it does not exclude the local economy,society and polity. Its agenda and implementationof the same by way of organising Seminar, Workshopand Development Dialogue embed the essence ofthe School.

3.1 Centre for Development StudiesThe Centre for Development Studies was the

first academic unit of this university since its veryinception and hence offers a special thrust to itsintellectual terrain. Its interdisciplinary nature makesit all the more exciting and versatile in a knowledgesociety like that of ours. Furthermore in 21st centuryIndia, Development Studies has emerged as adiscipline incorporating gamut of changes indifferent frontiers like social-economic, political,cultural and human development as such. There areonly a few institutions in India that train competentmanpower required by national and internationalagencies engaged in the developmental sector. Thedemand for development professionals has beenincreasing with the expansion of the frontier ofdevelopment interventions in the social sector. TheCentre of Development Studies attempts to makeunique contributions by training the budding agentsfor development and change, alongside preparingstudents who may opt for higher studies and lookforward to a career in teaching profession.

Academic thrust and key activities of the CentreThe academic thrust of the Centre for

Development Studies (CDS), Central University ofBihar (CUB), aims to explore the issues ondevelopment and underdevelopment. The Centre, atpresent, offers two core academic programmes:(a) Two-year Masters Programme;(b) Integrated MPhil-PhD Programme

These courses aim to disseminate and advanceknowledge by providing instructional and researchfacilities; to take appropriate measures for promotinginnovations in teaching-learning process and inter-disciplinary studies and research; to educate and trainmanpower for the development of the country; toestablish linkages with industries for the promotionof science and technology; and to pay specialattention to the improvement of the social andeconomic conditions and welfare of the people, theirintellectual, academic and culturaldevelopment.They are encouraged to acquire skillsthrough introspection and praxis while confrontingissues in the real world. The students are trained inprojects and research — both theoretical and applied— through contact hours with teachers in classroomand through field survey. Furthermore, the Centreorganizes a series of internal seminars, public

[ 26 ]

lectures and dialogues. It also furthers skill-enhancement of students and faculty up-gradationprogrammes through workshops like those onstatistical analysis of data, qualitative inquiry, projectmanagement etc. Since 2011, the Centre has beenorganizing an annual National Conference titledDevelopment Meet, wherein policy planners,academics, activists, civil society professionals, fromacross the country, deliberate and debate on a themeof contemporary relevance. Thus in doing so, thestudents are encouraged to learn about the variousfacets of socio-economic-political and culturaldevelopment within an institutional paradigm.

MA in Development StudiesThe Centre offers a two-year Masters

Programme in Development Studies. It aims todisseminate and advance knowledge by providinginstructional and research facilities; to takeappropriate measures for promoting innovations inteaching-learning process and inter-disciplinarystudies and research; to educate and train manpowerfor the development of the country; to establishlinkages with industries for the promotion of scienceand technology; and to pay special attention to theimprovement of the social and economic conditionsand welfare of the people along with theirintellectual, academic and cultural development.List of Courses in MA Development Studies (76Credits)

paradigms being witnessed in the field of Economicsby different schools of thought that have ontologicalbearings. The diverse knowledge base in Economicsand its ramifications on society and polity continuesto be a primordial source of choice for direction ofresearch. The Centre nurtures creative impulses ofboth faculty and students and continuously providesforums for developing critiques of existing theoriesand practices only to create a new space for the latter.While doing so, it contextualises emergingtheoretical postulations at all levels including local,sub-regional, national and international. The Centreaspires and attracts students and teachers to theCentre from all over the country and abroad todevelop it as a unique centre of learning and developcollaboration with other institutions for teaching andresearch.Objectives to enlarge the scope for teaching of Economics

as propounded by different schools of thoughtwith an edge over both quantitative andqualitative techniques;

to conduct research in both theoretical andempirical planes;

to organise Seminar/Symposium/Dialogue/Workshop/ Training Programmes.

MA in EconomicsThe post graduate programme is designed to

train the students on the expanding knowledge basein economics. Students are not only equipped withvarious techniques for evaluating developmentprogrammes and policies but also exposed to deeperunderstanding of several theoretical paradigms.While the programme endeavours to generate soundand effective interactive process, inclination todeepen the analytical mind of the students isconstantly sought. What it visualizes is that thestudents who are given exposure to the historicalprocess of change both in economic thought andpractice are able to respond to any economic eventeither through pursuing research or professionalcarrier.

7 School of Law and GovernanceSince liberalizing its markets in 1991, India has

emerged as one of the fastest growing economies inthe world. Globalization is moulding the legallandscape in emerging economies and blurring theboundaries between global and local. Last centuryof the last millennium witnessed and generated thepromise of improvement and development in thefield of science, technology and law. That centuryalso helped us to arrive at new economic, social,ecological and political arrangements all over theworld. New horizons were opened in the field oftrade and commerce, science & technology and law& jurisprudence. Various new areas in the field oflaw were opened. Now the world is heading towardsrapid progress in all most all fields of knowledgeincluding law and the globalization has changed theentire fabric of polity and society. Globalization andthe changing dimension of the Indian economy andpolity have thrown up new challenges before us. It

[ 39 ]

has brought a tough competition in educationalservices sectors. We are facing tough competitionnot only from within but from outside the country.Internationalization and globalization of the legaleducation and the probable entry of foreign lawyersinto India poses a serious threat to the legalprofession in India generally and to the Indianlawyers and law students in particular. It istransforming virtually every sector of the world’seconomy, and that this transformation has importantimplications for the rapidly globalizing market forlegal services. With the shift of economic powers,India, China and other emerging economies arebecoming central powers in this market.

Change is the law of nature and law is theregulator of social change. It is sine qua non for thedevelopment of rule of law and a sustainabledemocratic order. Law is also a social science and itis closely linked with society. A society cannotremain static and therefore, law in order to meet thechanging requirements should keep abreast of time.It is not fanciful omnipotence in the sky but a flexibleinstrument of social order, dependent on the politicaland other values of the society which it purports toregulate. Thus, through its dynamism it is aspiringto strengthen the foundation of the economic order.In a democratic country like India where rule of lawis driving force of the government, legal educationassumes great significance. Legal education helpsin bringing and establishing socio-economic justice.It is the heart and the very soul of the society foradministering rule of law in a democratic countrylike ours. Therefore, quality legal education is to beimparted to the law students taking intoconsideration the changing needs of the society andin the changing era of globalization. The traditionalviews of legal education and research have becomerelic of the past. Now, a lawyer is expected to servenot only within the country but outside our country.They are also expected to start their carriers withrenowned global law firms and global law schoolsetc. Different opportunities are there before the lawstudents now and these are ever widening e.g. legalactors, legislators, judges, civil servants, policymakers, lawyer in defence services, lawyer ofbanking and insurance sectors, corporate lawyers,corporate lobbyists, legal academicians and editorialwriters, jobs in Legal Process Outsourcing(LPO) andmany more. The new not ion of law and

jurisprudence demands a different attitude to legalstudies and research. In the changing liberalized andglobalized era it would be blunder for the lawstudents to confine themselves only to meretraditional legal texts. They need to pay properattention to the other related disciplines of study andto equip themselves as valuable knowledge workersand human resources to keep pace with the changingdemand of the time.

However, it is in this national and internationalspectacle, interdisciplinary studies on the interactivedimensions of law, science and economics aregaining importance slowly but surely.Multidisciplinary approach to the study of law isgradually emerging as the need of the hour. CUBhas adequate infrastructural facilities to provide theperfect ambience for interdisciplinary studies in law,in its true sense. School of law and governance,CUB, is not only imbibed with multidisciplinaryapproach to the legal studies and research but it ismaking genuine efforts to disseminate such approachto both the privileged and underprivileged learnersand researchers of law and jurisprudence. The schoolis striving towards imparting quality legal educationto the students including the students who are frompoor, oppressed, downtrodden and backwardcommunities of the society. The mission of theschool is to equip the students with critical, analyticaland applied skills and also to make both transactionaland litigating lawyers.Five-Year Integrated BA. LLB (Hons.)
