SCHOOLS OF STUDIES AND COURSES OFFERED School of Social Sciences

The courses offered by the School of Social Sciences aim at imparting and generating knowledge on emerging issues and problems of contemporary society, economy and polity. The course structure is choice based, flexible and is interdisciplinary. The pedagogy and didactics are interactive and based on field learning. The academic format places great emphasis on student initiative. The evaluation is continuous and grade based. Assignments, tutorials, seminars, projects carry equal weight as semester exams. At the end of the course, a student would be equipped with analytical skills, social science theoretical knowledge based on empirical and field based learning. Thus a student with this kind of learning can look forward to careers in management, research, policy making, development sector, media and administration. The School currently has the following centres of study: Centre for Studies in Economics and Planning Centre for Studies in Economics and Planning provides knowledge on emerging economic issues and trends. The course structure is flexible and choice based. Assessment is based on assignments, surprise tests, field visits, seminar presentations as well as semester examinations. The continuous evaluation improves students analytical skills. The School provides an atmosphere to undertake research on regional, national and international economic issues It tries to make academic research resonate with practical learning, which helps the students to compete in a changing liberal global framework. This Centre is committed to promote excellence in both teaching and research. Centre for Studies in Society and Development Centre for Studies in Society and Development brings the perspectives of sociology, anthropology and social work to bear on issues of development. The Centre aims to generate and disseminate knowledge on theoretical and practical aspects of society and development and the interfaces between them. Its courses introduce students to key debates, concepts and themes of global social development. It tries to bring analyses of different processes, actors, structures and power constructed and contested by the state and different institutions as well. The pedagogy is based on interactive teaching and assessment is continuous and throughout the course. It is based on field research involving assignments, seminars, project reports besides exams and tests. The courses aim to bring an interdisciplinary outlook so as to enhance the skill of students to meet the challenges for a career in the area of development and become a critical link in knowledge production.

Centre for Studies in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Centre for Studies in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy focuses on imparting an interdisciplinary orientation within the broad sphere of Science, Technology and Society (STS) studies, specifically dwelling upon perspectives from history, sociology and philosophy of science, socio-economic aspects of technological change and innovation studies. These would be supplemented by rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative dimensions of research, especially in methods related to technology assessment and forecasting. The method of assessment would be through preparation of case studies of emerging technologies, term papers, presentations, besides examinations and a dissertation/thesis, both at the M.Phil. and Ph.D. levels. Currently, the centre offers M.Phil./Ph.D. programme on Science, Society and Development. The objective is to equip the students to analyze and develop policy related insights in sectors as diverse as agriculture, health care, information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology and climate change to find sustainable solutions to real world problems. The programme enables them to be placed in sectors as diverse as government and civil society organizations, besides academia. Centre for Studies in Social Management Centre For Studies in Social Management at the School offers a five year integrated programme in the field of Social Management. It was started in the academic year of 20102011 with the objective of catering to the acute shortage of professionals in the development management sector. The ten-semester programme aims to equip its participanats with requiste management skills in the overall context of critical understanding of the issues in the developmental sector. This is ensured by giving students an insight into the professional field in the preliminary courses and by providing them with skills relevant to the profession. In addition, there are internships and interdisciplinary project work in cooperation with public and private institutions. Students benefit from the contacts and involvement of representatives from diverse civil society and public organizations. It is hoped that the students would find gainful employment in various managerial positions in social organisations. The centre also envisages a roboust research programme which can take up major challenges of policy discourse in the fields of development and management. Centre for Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies Centre for Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies is an interdisciplinary teaching and research centre. The Centre undertakes research work on Gandhian philosophy, peace studies, political theory and critical philosophical traditions. Besides Gandhis own philosophy, Gandhian thought also includes philosophy of Gandhian thinkers and practitioners of Gandhian philosophy. Research in these areas has become all the more important keeping in view the peaceful resistance movements happening throughout the world. Amidst gigantic confrontations, the need for peace studies with reference to Gandhian thoughts strength and limitations has been keenly felt. The core elements of political theory democracy, justice, right, equality, social and political movements, resistance and political economy are much required areas for teaching and research in Gandhian thought. In these realms, Gandhian
10

thought and its critics are engaged alike. Since Gandhian thought is itself an umbrella field representing diverse moorings, it becomes imperative to focus on critical philosophical traditions. The primary areas of research at the Centre include Gandhian philosophy and its critics; Conflict, Violence and Peace and Non-violent Resistance Movements. The School of Social Sciences will have the following programmes for the Academic Year 2012-13: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) M.Phil./Ph.D. in Economics M.A. (Two-Year programme) in Society and Development M.Phil./Ph.D. in Society and Development M.Phil./Ph.D. in Science, Society and Development M.A. (Five-Year integrated programme) in Social Management M.Phil./Ph.D. in Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies

School of International Studies

Despite the density of Indias historical and contemporary engagements with the world, research and teaching in international affairs more generally, and in the discipline of International Relations (IR) particularly, have remained confined to a few niche centres in the country. Geographically, the study of international affairs has centred on research, teaching and policy institutions in and around New Delhi. There is a need for greater evenness and inclusion in constitution of knowledge about international affairs in the country. The School of International Studies has been conceptualised to encourage diversity in the constitution of knowledge of international affairs. Over the next few years, the School intends to develop capabilities to pursue research in history of Indias international relations, all areas of security studies and maritime influences on Indias trade, culture and security. These relatively new areas would be pursued alongside more conventional research areas such as Indias Foreign Policy, International Relations Theories, International Organisations, International Trade and Development, International Law, and Globalisation. The School plans on building a robust area studies programme by combining conventional geographically-organised Centres of study with thematic research programmes such as those in comparative studies in history, anthropology and politics. Programmes and the Centres of the School are interdisciplinary to the extent possible in the Indian context. All programmes of the School equally emphasise theory and policy and train students to contribute meaningfully to the society, country and the world at large. The School currently has the following Centres of study: Centre for Studies in International Politics and Governance Centre for Studies in International Politics and Governance offers an MPhil-PhD programme in International Politics and Governance. It has been conceptualised to complement the area studies and thematic programmes of study at the School.

11

Teaching and research in the theory and practice of international politics and the emerging area of global governance are the core concerns of the Centre. Over the next few years, the Centre would strengthen and pluralise its expertise to cover major conceptual and empirical areas of the discipline of International Relations (IR). These include International Relations Theories, theory and practice of Global Governance, issues in Disarmament and Arms Control and studies of International Organisations. The Centre recognises the immense potential of IR teaching and research in India and South Asia. It emphasises the importance of developing theoretical perspectives and conducting empirical research on all aspects of Indias international relations and foreign policy. One of the core mandates of the Centre is to promote the study of international relations among students from all walks of Indian and South Asian life. The Centre welcomes committed students from all parts of the country to a transformative experience. It believes that uneven familiarisation of students with the English language is a condition that can be overcome. It strongly encourages students who are educated in non-English languages, but who have the enthusiasm to excel in the study of international relations, to apply for the programme of study. Students appearing for the entrance exam to the M.Phil./Ph.D. programme offered by the Centre are expected to possess basic knowledge of Indian politics, Indias foreign policy, modern Indian and world histories and contemporary international politics. Faculty at the Centre are currently interested in guiding students in the fields of post-conflict governance, the Afghanistan conflict, International Relations theories, Indias Foreign Policy and India-Pakistan relations. More information about the Centre and the faculty is available at the Universitys website at www.cug.ac.in Centre for Security Studies The end of the Cold War brought about a change in the nature of conflict. As more disputes became intra-state rather than inter-state in orientation, there is evident transformation in how world security is perceived. Centre for Security Studies (CSS) at the School of International Studies attempts to impart theoretical, empirical and critical understanding of the changing notions of security and pursue teaching and research in all areas of security through its MPhil and PhD programmes. CSS addresses a wider range of the traditional and non-traditional security related issues, ranging from military threats to food, health, environment, education security as well as human security, both at the domestic and the international levels. The method of evaluation would be through discussion and carefully structured assignments, besides active participation in all modes of learning as well as and writing dissertation/thesis. The programme equips students to provide solution to policy makers, advocacy groups and the media, besides functioning as area specialists in the field. Master of Arts in Politics and International Relations Starting with Monsoon 2012 semester, the School of International Studies at Central University of Gujarat will offer a Master of Arts (M.A.) programme in Politics and International Relations.

12

The programme introduces students to core debates in politics and international relations through a minimum of sixteen core and optional papers spanning across four semesters. The time between these semesters is to be utilised through field-work and internships. The School is in the process of building linkages with groups and organisations that could provide on-field and in-house practical training to students enrolled for the programme through internships and research project associations. Courses and papers to the programme would be contributed by the existing and proposed Centres of the School. Students enrolling for the programme can appear for the National Eligibility Test (NET) for Lectureship in all suitable areas identified by the UGC. Students also have the option of specializing in one of the areas of study housed at the School by writing a Masters dissertation on a chosen topic during the fourth, final semester of the programme. The M.A. in Politics and International Relations has been designed to encourage the study of international affairs in India. The School seeks to leverage its unique location in the state of Gujarat to facilitate critical understanding of and linkages with global forces. It also aims to emerge as the leading center of learning in international affairs in the country and especially in western India. The M.A. programme prepares students for career in the academia, niche journalism such as defence, security and foreign affairs, entrepreneurship in new media, civil services, advocacy groups and non-governmental organisations. Although the School does not promise job placements, it would make efforts to facilitate the process for deserving students. Students appearing for the entrance exam of the M.A. programme are expected to have basic understanding of Indian politics, modern Indian and world histories, current affairs and Indias foreign policy. Students would attend a mix of objective and descriptive type questions. Additional details about the programme and the School is available at the website of the University at www.cug.ac.in The School of International Studies will have the following programmes for the Academic Year 2012-13: (i) (ii) (iii) M.A. (Two-Year programme) in Politics and International Relations M.Phil./Ph.D. in Security Studies M.Phil./Ph.D. in International Politics and Governance

School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies

School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies (SLL&CS) runs post-graduate and research programmes in various subjects related to Humanities such as the study of Indian and foreign languages and comparative study of literatures and cultures. Issues related to gender, caste, race and processes of exclusion and marginalization in society, questions related to migration and identity of diaspora communities form some of the core areas of study in the courses offered by the School. All the programmes are interdisciplinary and innovative in nature and prepare students for employment in teaching, research, print and visual media,
13

administration, publishing, editing and emerging areas such as technical writing and content development. Pedagogy and Examination System The programmes offered in the School follow Choice Based Credit System. Attendance in the classroom is compulsory for under-graduate, post-graduate courses as well as the course work of the M.Phil./Ph.D. programme. Class-room lectures are designed to ensure students participation and involvement. Teachers also use seminars, workshops and films to impart instruction. Students have to submit assignments, projects and papers regularly as part of their coursework. They are also required to make presentations/give seminars on topics related to their subjects. Students participation in the class-room is given special weightage in evaluation. In each semester there is a mid-semester examination and an end-semester examination. All the centres of the School arrange lectures by learned experts and hold workshops and seminars on new fields/areas of the subject. During 3-6, March 2011, the School hosted an international conference on Comparative Literature where more than 400 delegates from all over India participated. During the academic year, 2011-12, there were three workshops on Indian Traditions of Comparative Literature, Culture Studies and Comparative Literature and Literary Theory in the Context of Comparative Literature, apart from lectures by eminent writers/academics. The School currently has the following centres of study: Centre for English Studies The M.A. programme in English, run by the Centre for English Studies, is a two year course. In the course of four semesters the course will familiarize students with the core areas of mainstream English literature as well as allied areas of interest such as English Language Teaching, Indian Writing in English, American Literature, New Literatures in English and Indian Literature in English Translation. The syllabus also includes topics such as European Classics, Literary Theory, Film and Fiction and Comparative Literature. We have introduced a course in Editing/Writing for Newspapers to open up more employment avenues for students passing out from our University. Students who have a graduate degree in any branch are eligible to apply for M.A programme in English. Centre for German Studies The Centre for German Studies offers a five year integrated M.A. programme in German Studies from the year 2012-13. Foreign languages have an important role to play in a globalized world where knowledge and technology have no boundaries. Knowledge of foreign languages can open up several job opportunities in media, management, academy, interpretation and translation and administrative services. Students who have passed the H.S.C examination of any recognized Board equivalent to the 10+2 stage may apply for admission to the five year degree course in German.
14

Entrance test for this programme in German Studies will not have any questions in German language. The students will be required to possess aptitude for the study of foreign language, competence in English and some general knowledge of German society, its culture and history. Centre for Chinese Language and Culture The Centre for Chinese Language and Culture offers a five year integrated M.A. programme in Chinese Language and Culture from 2012-13. Those who have passed 10+2 course in any stream are eligible to apply. Chinese language has great relevance to India as the relations between both countries have a long history going back to the times of Budha or even earlier. In the past two decades, both countries have evolved bonds of cooperation in the fields of business, management and commerce. The cultural ties can further foster greater understanding between the two countries. With more joint ventures being initiated between the two countries the need for experts in Chinese language will go up in the coming years. The students who join the course will find job opportunities in a large number of fields from teaching to corporate management. The admission test will not have any question in Chinese language. It will test the students aptitude to study foreign languages like Chinese with questions on English language and reasoning, and general knowledge of Chinese society, its history and culture. Centre for Gujarati Language and Literature Centre for Gujarati Language and Literature offers a two-year (four semester) M.A. Degree programme in Gujarati Language and Literature. Gujarati is one of the major languages in India and has a rich literary tradition going back to the beginning of last millennium. It has produced renowned writers such as Narasin Mehta, Govardhanram Tripathi, K.M. Munshi and Umashankar Joshi. Mahatma Gandhi wrote in Gujarati and has left a rich legacy in Gujarati Literature. In contemporary Gujarati literature, Dalit literature and Womens Writing have assumed centre-stage. Students who have completed graduation in any stream with a sound knowledge of Gujarati language are eligible to apply for admission in M.A. in Gujarati Language and Literature. Centre for Comparative Literature and Translation Studies The Centre for Comparative Literature and Translation Studies offers an integrated M.Phil./Ph.D. programme in Comparative Literature. Comparative Literature has emerged as a major area of interdisciplinary research in India. Being a multi-lingual, multi-cultural country, India has several rich literary traditions. We also need to study the literatures of other countries like those of the United States, Russia, China or Germany in a comparative framework to see their contribution towards understanding of
15

society and people. Contexts of caste, race, gender and nation and the processes of exclusion and marginalization are relevant to the study of literatures. Globalization has further enhanced the appeal of this discipline as it helps us understand the cultures of other countries against changing socio-political environment. Translation is an important component of Comparative Literature studies. Instead of writing a dissertation for M.Phil., students may choose to translate an important text from an Indian language to English. Recent literary theories form an important part of the syllabus in Comparative Literature programme. Interdisciplinary studies of literatures will enable students to comprehend complex socio-political, philosophical and psychological problems related to contemporary societies. The course is taught in English. In the course of the programme students are required to read texts in different languages, compare and analyse them from a comparative point of view. Lectures, workshops and seminars by experts in the field form an important part of the curriculum. Students of Comparative Literature have many avenues of employment in the academy, print and visual media, publishing, cultural administration and research. Specialization in Translation Studies can open up further opportunities in many fields. The entrance test for M.Phil./Ph.D. in Comparative Literature will test the aptitude of students for research, their understanding of Indian literary traditions, contemporary society and culture, apart from their knowledge of English/American/European literatures. Centre for Hindi Language and Literature The Centre for Hindi Language and Literature offers M.Phil./Ph.D. programme (integrated) in the subject. As a national language, Hindi occupies a special place in India. The literary traditions in Hindi have developed in close association with several other Indian languages and hence Hindi language provides an entry into the history and culture of India. The syllabus for the M.Phil. programme incorporates the most recent developments in the field such as Womens Writing, Dalit Literature and Literary Theory. Special emphasis has been given to the oral traditions and the literature produced in tribal languages of India. Students are also required to understand the trends in other literatures of India to gain a comprehensive view of Indian literatures as a whole. In close collaboration with the Centre for Comparative Literature, the Centre for Hindi Langauge and Literature focuses on interdisciplinary approach to the study of language and society, incorporating topics related to Translation Studies, Culture Studies, Film Studies and Media Studies. Centre for Study of Diaspora Diaspora Studies is a new interdisciplinary area that has emerged in Humanities and Social Sciences dealing with the study of migration and its social, political, cultural and economic impact. We know that the contribution of overseas communities of Indians to Indian economy has been substantial. What is less known is the challenges of alienation, acculturation and reconciliation encountered by people who migrate to foreign countries. A sizeable body of
16

literature now exists both in the forms of novels, short stories, dramas, poems (not to mention films) and also scholarly treaties on issues related to the sociological and political aspects of the process of migration of people. The history of Indian migration goes back to pre-modern times though it has become a subject of study only recent times. Gujarat is notable for its nonresident population and their contribution to Gujarat society and Indian economy. Apart from class room study focusing on the concepts of the discipline the Centre also uses field trips to study the processes of migration as part of its teaching. The M.Phil./Ph.D. programme is open to any student who has a recognized post-graduate degree in any subject (Arts/Science/Commerce). Since the subject is interdisciplinary the Centre follows a multi-disciplinary approach to the teaching of the subject. The faculty is drawn from different areas such as Sociology, Literature and Political Science. Experts are also invited to deliver lectures on various aspects of the subject. With the growing focus of Government of India on the Indian Diaspora the students passing out from the Centre will find job opportunities in Government service, research, teaching and management. The entrance test for this programme will test the students competence in English, research aptitude and general knowledge of politics and history related to the discipline. The School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies will have the following programmes for the Academic Year 2012-13: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) M.A. (Two Year Programme) in English M.A. (Five-Year integrated programme)in German Studies M.A. (Five-Year integrated programme) in Chinese Language and Culture M.A. (Two Year Programme) in Gujarati Language and Literature M.Phil./Ph.D. in Comparative Literature M.Phil./Ph.D. in Hindi Language and Literature M.Phil./Ph.D. in Diaspora Studies

 School of Life Sciences

Acquisition of curiosity and inquisitiveness marks the ascent of humans over other living systems. Millennia of observation of con-inhabitants familiarized them sufficiently with forms and capabilities of all living beings. It was hard to believe that while within human lifespan, all living things originated from pre-existing living systems, life could originate from non-living matter at evolutionary time scale. Amazing as it was to realize that the chemical make of all living systems is remarkably similar, all concepts of life got unified as more and more of the molecular basis of manifestation of life processes, including the material basis of inheritance, got established. Living systems and life processes offered challenges and opportunities to scientists of all hues to unravel the mysteries of the universal capability of living systems to be able to produce one like themselves strike the balance between stability and flexibility of their constituents, be able to sense the environment and reprogram their expressions according to signals fitting into spacio-temporal constraints summing up in perpetuation of the essence of life as living systems kept evolving. Living systems emerged as organized compartments (cells), and subcompartments to discharge the orchestrated functions that characterized the system as a whole. It was soon realized that the organization in fact went beyond individual living systems that shared the same habitat. While one may have discerned the commonality among diverse living systems, they all have unique characteristics. Intermolecular recognitions could be the best script if a drama was ever conceptualized in the theater of molecules that go into making of living systems. Such interactions enable assemblies crucial for organization and functioning of the entire systems and the system carefully avoids being extremely frigid or extremely fluid. Thus living systems cannot any more be viewed as stereotype tailor made special creatures but as naturally selected assemblies with the capability of material and energy transaction, monitoring of the environmental fluctuation, a basis for programming and reprogramming their gene expression, a continuous resistance against deviations from certain key regulations (such as those of the cell cycle), assistance for molecules to keep in the most meaningful shape, to re-equilibrate the constituents, if so demanded by changing environment or the very innate developmental program. The basis of the sequence of events lay in the molecular structure of the constituents involved. The electromagnetic radiation to which they are exposed necessitated development of harnessing or defending mechanisms in order to survive and prosper without gross genetic alterations from generation to generation. To learn biological phenomena, it is important that one has good grounds in all natural sciences and can re-construct the molecular events into the story of life. Inter-disciplinary, therefore, is the hallmark of modern biology aptly referred to as life sciences. It will therefore be necessary to understand life processes and living systems. The School offers programme of study leading to M.Sc. and M.Phil./Ph.D. degree in Life Sciences. The students are offered pre- M.Phil./Ph.D. courses covering various aspects of advance research in Life Sciences. The nature of courses is of interdisciplinary with permeable/pours disciplinary barriers. Further these courses are integrated with other subjects like chemistry, physics and computer science in view of close interface between biological and
19

physical sciences. The University has well equipped Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) to support the experimentation. In addition is has well equipped laboratories to conduct research on mammalian cells, plant cells, bacteria and viruses. The School of Life Sciences will have the following programme for the Academic Year 2012-13: The School of Life Sciences will have the following programmes for the Academic Year 2012-13: (i) (ii) M.Phil./Ph.D. in Life Sciences M.Sc. in Life Sciences

School of Environment and Sustainable Development

Global society in the 21st century is facing the challenge of improving the quality of environment. Environmental pollutants have become a major global concern due to rapid growth of industrialization, urbanization, modern agricultural development and energy generation. These have resulted in indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human needs and desires, which have disturbed the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment depends. Human beings are a product of their environment. Humanenvironment relationship indicates that pollution has social origins. Modern technological advancements in chemical processes have given rise to new products and new pollutants in such abundant levels that they are above the self-cleaning capacities of environment. One of the major issues in recent times is the threat to human life caused to the progressive deterioration of the environment. Environment protection can be ensured by using natural resources in a sustainable manner. Equitable use of natural resources would enhance the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs. Sustainable development can be broadly considered into three major constituents: economic development, social development and environment protection. Environmental concerns are important factors in sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development was further reviewed in the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also referred to as the Earth Summit held in Rio De
20

Janerio 1992. Sustainable development has become part of all climate change policy discussions at the global level, paticularly due to adoption of Agenda 21 and the various conventions resulting from the UNCED-1992.There are many ways to pursue sustainable development strategies that contribute to mitigation of climate change. For example: adoption of cost-effective energy efficient technologies in electricity generation, transmission, distribution and end-use can reduce cost and local pollution in addition to reduction of greenhouse gas emission. Shift to renewable resources, some of which are already costeffective, can enhance sustainable energy supply, reduce local pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Adoption of forest conservation, reforestation, aforestation, and sustainable forest management practices can contribute to conservation of biodiversity, water shed protection, rural employment generation, increased incomes to forest dwellers and carbon sink enhancement. Efficient fast and reliable public transport systems can reduce urban congestion, local pollution and greenhouse gas emission. Environmental and sustainable development aims to use natural resources and ecofriendly technology to meet human needs while preserving and conserving the air, water and soil environment and maintaining the ecological balance for productive biodiversity. Green technology is generally differentiated from sustainable development in that green development prioritizes environment, social environment and economic sustainability. There is need for the commitment to develop an appreciative awareness of the interdependence of this entire element for the progressive development. Sustainable development is a learning process about making decisions that consider long term future of the natural resources. Environment and Sustainable Development includes the study of: Environmental issues and challenges Ecology, Ecosystem and Biodiversity Air, water, soil management Industrial Development: Pollution Generation and its impact Pollution control and abatement Green technology Environment and Natural Resources Management Environment Biotechnology Environment protection strategies

The School of Environment and Sustainable Development will have the following programme for the academic year 2012-2013: (i) M.Phil./Ph.D. in Environment and Sustainable Development
