We have been awarded the highest Grade “A” once again by National Assessment and Accreditation Council from out of the re-accreditation process in 2012. We have taken interest in social programmes like WISH Forum (Women Involved in Sanitation and Hygiene) in association with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and a Digitalised Manual (CD) on “Policies and Programmes for the Differently Abled”. We have also proposed other programmes for the differently-abled, this academic year. A number of buildings such as multi-purpose auditorium, library with common seminar hall for various departments, indoor stadium, seminar-cum-students facility centre and building for school of excellence in life science are coming up in Palkalaiperur campus. College building for Bharathidasan University Constituent College at Srirangam and a building for Centre for Differently Abled Persons at Khajamalai campus are also in the offing. For the use of electricity we are planning to generate non-conventional energy in the campus and upscaling of the Centre for Remote Sensing are planned. We are planning to introduce five MSc programmes, an MTech programme, two PG diploma courses and few other diploma courses that will come under Centre for Differently Abled Persons. We are focused in taking the university from the present status to “University with Potential for Excellence”.
