As the 21st century is in progress the
need for more serious thinking about the theoretical and practical aspects of
security and developmental programmes have become self-evident. In realizing the
goals of security and development as two faces of a single coin, the Department
of Defence Studies at this University, like some other important centres of higher
learning, finds a special role-rather a duty - to play. Academic strategists,
like their professional counterparts, have the opportunity to think in long term
perspective and take hold of problems of national and international life, which
very few policy-makers have a chance to think about.
Keeping in view the
job prospects, consistent efforts are being made to start new courses suggested
under UGC guidelines. One such effort is very likely to gain momentum in terms
of starting a Post-Graduate Diploma in Disaster and National Security Management
w.e.f. 2004-05.
