Utkal University starts Computer Literacy Programme

Utkal Computer Literacy

To make all its faculty members and students computer literate, Utkal University on Thursday started an ambitious programme and tied up with Microsoft for the initiative.

Microsoft will train around 40 lecturers who in turn will pass down the skills to others. Everybody will be conversant with the varsity’s e-initiative so that the paperless work-culture gets a bigger push.

The integrated master of computer application (IMCA) department is coordinating the training. A module has been prepared keeping in mind the varsity’s need.

The university has shifted to mandatory e-admission procedure and online interface for most other communication. In such a situation, it is imperative that the entire faculty, staff and students have exposure to varsity’s computerized work environment. (Source – Times of India)
