Ludhiana, July 11

Dr Inderjeet Singh, Vice-Chancellor, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, launched a digital repository of the university, developed for codifying the records of scientific outcomes. The repository has been developed by Dr HS Banga, Registrar, and Dr JPS Gill, Director of Research, with technical assistance from information technology and library professionals.

It has been customised to retrieve articles as per NAAS rating and impact factor, ie matrix required for compilation of reports involving data about university publication(s). The multimedia contents encompassing radio and TV talks delivered by the faculty of the university will also be preserved. The digital content available on the repository would be accessible to the fraternity, including faculty, students and researchers, for better comprehension of teaching and research activities. This would also help keep a record of publications in digital mode and for better accessibility. Training programmes have been organised by the Directorate of Human Resource Management of the university to acquaint the faculty with digital content uploading on this portal. In addition, a manual for helping faculty and other stakeholders to upload digital content on the repository has also been compiled and circulated in the university.

The VC said the digital repository would expedite report writing and other administrative ventures involving use of data about faculty publications and their other activities.
