When
knowledge grows and diversifies, and when new areas emerge as full-fledged disciplines,
it is imperative for a university to establish new departments. The past five
years saw the establishment of a few new departments and faculties. They are the
Department of Homoeopathic Medicine, the Faculty of Homoeopathic Medicine and
the Department of Physical Education. The University has decided to set up a Faculty
of Environmental Studies to promote teaching and research in environment and ecology.
