Professor Sangita Srivastava, vice-chancellor of Allahabad University (AU), emphasises that courses established in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) will not only offer students with knowledge, but will also grow their abilities and foster the development of their character.

Further, several steps have been taken to improve the quality of education at the university. According to the vice-chancellor of Allahabad University (AU), in the last two years, new teachers have been recruited in the university in 27 departments in mission mode. Apart from this, 350 non-teaching staff have also been deployed.

Professor Srivastava asserts that the amalgamation of professors from various states and overseas has fostered a cosmopolitan environment, thereby enhancing the future prospects of university education and its quality.

She has claimed that at least 100 more teachers will be appointed by the end of the year. After that, the university will definitely take a place in the ranking of NIRF and NAAC.
