Patna University

The Vision for the Patna University is to transform the University into a modern 21st Century institution and a national centre of excellence. This will be achieved by developing physical and ICT infrastructure and human resources. The University will be a student-centric centre of learning, and therefore, modernization of teaching and pedagogy (skill based learning) will be our main objective. The Patna University will also seek to provide a conducive environment where top quality research will be pursued. Patna University is conscious of its commitment to provide assistance to weaker sections of the society, to achieve acceptable levels of literacy, and to impart skills to the underprivileged. The University will move ahead during the XIIth Plan period by giving equal importance to all disciplines. It hopes to give a renewed thrust to areas like Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Agriculture and Agricultural Informatics, Biotechnology and Bio-Informatics, Management Studies, Rural Development, Disaster Prevention and Management, Environmental Science, Journalism and Mass Communication etc. The University will start new faculties, departments, centers and start new Post-Graduate Courses and initiate research in some of these thrust areas. The University will also focus on socially relevant subjects and will adhere to social commitment in order to effect purposeful social transformations.
