ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
1.2 Pedagogic Approaches
At Doon University, the pedagogical ap-
proach is premised on a basic recognition:
that pedagogical choice for the twenty-frst
century must refect the changing edu-
cational, technological, professional and
societal needs and aspirations. This recogni-
tion and its acceptance, in turn, requires/de-
mands a shif from the traditional forms of
only classroom-based and teacher-centered
instruction to a more holistic approach to
acquiring knowledge and skills appropriate
for the times. This pedagogical orientation
is expressed in Doon University curriculum
in four key elements as explained below.
aCtiVe learning
Students in Doon University are not
mere recipient of knowledge. Rather, the
pedagogical emphasis here will require
students to engage in a continuous process
of construction of ideas and knowledge.
Active learning fosters retention of in-
formation and knowledge and enhances
the ability to apply such information and
knowledge to new situations, diferent
contexts and, unanticipated challenges. It
is through continuous engagement with
peers, faculty, professionals and others that
such a spirit of critical enquiry is instilled
in the students. Thus, beside lectures, class
presentation, discussion, group work, case
studies, tutorials etc are key learning activi-
ties/tools in all University curriculums. To
this end, all courses in the University seek
to increase the level of interaction and activ-
ity in classes as well as in all other learning
opportunities such as provided by the avail-
ability of technology.
learning beyond
the ClassrooM
To use an of-repeated but tellingly
valid adage of the times this is an age of
information-communication. While some
of the available information may deserv-
ingly atract skepticism, a large part of it is
indeed comprised of invaluable learning
material for contemporary academic and
professional needs. Access as well as the
ability to negotiate through this mountain
of information requires students to sharpen
their technological and creative skills. In
addition to providing all necessary books/
journals/audio-video materials related to
their respective subjects, the students will
have access to dedicated computer labs,
internet to facilitate learning guided by
faculty and other staf.
edUCation for Profession
Education for all academic programs
in Doon University is geared/equipped to
provide students a seamless transition to
their respective professional felds. Hands-
on learning is therefore a key feature in
all Program curriculums. Summer Intern-
ship, compulsory project work in the fnal
semester and, regular participation of
visiting/guest faculty from professions are
the various means through which students
will sharpen their knowledge and skills for
entry-level jobs.
Career skills
Beyond the basic grasp in their respec-
tive subject maters, students today need
additional competencies to negotiate,
compete and survive in very competitive
professional environment. Ability to com-
municate efciently and efectively and to
work collaboratively as team-player to solve
problems and make decisions are key to
successful professional careers. All courses
and other academic activities, therefore,
seek to integrate these elements to help stu-
dents acquire these new skills. Additionally,
students are encouraged to take courses
in writen, oral, business and professional
communication as part of their degree
requirement.
Incorporation of the above elements in
all academic programs will provide gradu-
ating students of the University a unique
distinctiveness and an edge that should en-
able them to approach their career choices
and professional life with assurance and
confdence.
The main campus of the University
is located in an area of 55 acres at
Kedarpur, Dehradun. A second campus
is proposed to be established on 100
acres of land at Sahaspur.
Keeping the objectives of excellence and relevance, the University started two Schools
i.e. School of Communication and School of Environment & Natural Resources ofering
Masters programme and a certifcate programme in Security Management from
academic session 2009-10. The University established three more Schools in the area of
Social Sciences, Management, and Languages from the academic session of 2010-11.
SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMMES OF STUDY
2.1 School of Communication
The communication and media sector
in India has grown several folds in the last
two decades and is projected to continue
growing in the coming decades. On one
hand, the industry has witnessed a virtual
explosion in the process of creation and
consumption of information and com-
munication and, on the other, an upsurge
in the demand for knowledge and profes-
sional skills to face the challenges and
the opportunities brought about by the
transformative force of communication
revolution.
While new areas such as the internet
and multi-media, on-line Journalism, 3D
graphics and animation have emerged in
the feld, traditional areas such as print
journalism and magazine publication,
radio, television, flms, animation, adver-
tising, public relations, event management
and communication research continue to
hold ground and ofer exciting careers in
Communication.
The School of Communication at Doon
University is a response to these challenges
and provides a fexible academic program
to study the emerging disciplines and train
students for the many exciting professional
careers emerging with the convergence of
technologies and communication pro-
cesses.
The School ofers a 2-year Masters
Programme and 5 year integrated MA

theory and practice; introduce them to
various streams of the communication
discipline; provide hands-on experience on
all relevant skill areas and; allow students
to specialize in an area for entry-level jobs
in communication and media sector.
As part of its professional emphasis,
the Programme provides an opportunity
to students to gain practical work experi-
ence through its internship placements in
relevant organization, interact with the
leading professionals of the media and
communication sector and assist students

2.2 School of Environment and Natural
Resources
With increasing population density and
faster pace of industrialization, problems
related to environment and natural re-
sources are geting acute day by day from
the relatively local problems of the past
such as forest degradation, desertifcation,
and air and water pollution to problems of
today such as global warming and climate
change. The United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development held in Rio
de Janeiro in 1992 and the World Summit
on Sustainable Development at Johannes-
burg in 2002 have drawn atention to the
deteriorating condition of our environment
requiring urgent action by governments
and people. Green investments provide an
opportunity to accelerate innovation-led,
low carbon, low waste Green economy to
address natural resources scarcity, energy
security and climate change.
Utarakhand is one of the hyper-diversi-
ty states of the country home to more than
4,200 species of fowering plants which is 23
percent of the total fowering plants of In-
dia. Many of these plant species are source
for medicinal herbs used in Ayurveda,
aromatric plants, and numerous non timber
forest produce (NTFP) of commercial im-
portance. This valuable plant wealth needs
to be conserved, sustainably utilized and
benefts arising out of biological resources
shared equitably among stakeholders.
To tackle such environmental chal-
lenges scientifcally and proactively, trained
professionals in specialized areas of envi-
ronmental sciences and natural resources
are urgently required. Taking cognizance
of increasing environmental problems, the
Doon University established a School of
Environment and Natural Resources.
The School of Environment and Natu-
ral Resources aims at meeting the needs of
the society by providing advance training
to students in environment and natural
resources management through a struc-
tured curriculum with integrated mul-
tidisciplinary approach involving latest
advances in the felds of physical, chemical
and biological components of the envi-
ronment. Wherever needed emphasis is
given to geo-morphological atributes, and
socio-ecological and socio-cultural aspects
of mountain ecosystem highlighting issues
and problems illustrated with Case Studies.
To enrich its resources in teaching and
research and utilize excellent laboratory
facilities/ infrastructure and expertise of
scientists of some of the prominent national
institutions/organizations in Dehradun,
the School aims at to forge close links
with prominent Research institutions like
Forest Research Institute (FRI), Survey of
India, Indian Institute of Remote Sens-
ing (IIRS), Indian Institute of Petroleum
(IIP), Central Soil & Water Conservation
Research & Training Institute (CSWCRTI),
Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, and
Wildlife Institute of India (WII) in imple-
menting various academic programmes of
the School.

Ph.d PrograMMe
The School of ENR has taken a major ini-
tiative by ofering PhD Programmes in En-
vironmental Studies and Natural resource
Management. In the current Academic
Session doctoral programme in Glaciology,
Energy Resources and Environmental Pol-
lution in Collaboration with Wadia Institute
of Himalayan Geology and Indian Institute
of Petroleum, respectively is also being
ofered. The innovative and interdisciplin-
ary doctoral programme with mandatory
course work of two semesters comprising
of research methodology, analytical tech-
niques, environmental modeling etc. will
train a new generation of professional who
will integrate natural and social sciences
concepts and approaches to resolve natural
resource crisis and emerging environmental
problems.
forthCoMing PrograMMes
Utarakhand, being predominantly a
mountainous State situated in the Central
Himalayan region is prone to frequent
natural disasters in the form of earth
quakes, landslides, foods, Cloud bursts,
forest fres, shrinking of glaciers, road ac-
cidents, climatic changes etc. To train the
professionals and government ofcials in
combating these environmental problems
it is proposed to start post-graduate di-
ploma courses in Environmental Impact
Assessment, in Disaster Management and
Biodiversity conservation, assessment and
evaluation from this academic year.
2.3 School of Languages
In the emerging global world, trans
border fows are defning the life style.
The revolutionary impact of technology
has enhanced the expanse of communica-
tion. The diverse societies are compelled to
communicate and transact with each other.
No wonder language learning has emerged
as a vital skill. Besides it opens new vista
and road to discovery. Indeed learning
others language means making oneself
enriched and empowered. In the making of
knowledge society, in resolving globalizing
tensions and conficts in promoting under-
standing, language works as the channel
of communication. As a result of globaliza-
tion of the economy, companies are looking
for language skilled human resource to
make strategic decision. In fact to maximize
demographic dividend, Indian youngsters
need to leverage their skills by learning
foreign language. In planning its academic
charter Doon University has recognized the
importance of language learning.
The School of Languages intends to
provide training the young Indians with
major languages of world. In the frst phase
three foreign languages namely German,
Chinese and Spanish have been introduced.
The reason is obvious. While the afnity
between German and Indian languages,
specially Sanskrit needs no elaboration, the
rising China has made its language a means
of global commerce. Spanish is spoken in
large continent of South America. Along
with the languages, the curriculum contains
adequate learning of history and culture of
the country with focus on Indias cultural
interaction with the respective society.
The courses aim at developing com-
petence and profciency in spoken as well
as writen language through audio-visual
techniques, language laboratory, flms, etc.
It is fve-year integrated course leading to
Masters degree. However, afer successful
completion of six semesters, students will
have option to exit with a Bachelors degree.
2.4 School of Management
While there is no dearth number of
B-Schools Utarakhand has, but the qual-
ity of education and the sustainability of
the graduates being churned out was a big
question mark. Quality education with in-
novative as well as time tested pedagogy,
rich intellectual capital, state of the art
infrastructure, high level of student interac-
tion and cohesion, plethora of activities, sof
skills delivery along with a vibrant culture
was the need of hour. The School of Man-
agement was established at Doon Universi-
ty to exactly fll up this gap. But the idea of
having a B-school at Doon University is not
just restricted to cater to the demands of the
state. It actually is a pan Indian conception.
That is why half of the seats are reserved for
students from others states. SOM just does
not caters to students from Utarakhand but
from all parts of the country. We have stu-
dents even from the far fung areas of north
eastern states, students having done their
education at Delhi University, Bangalore
University, etc.
With the lofy ideals of quality in educa-
tion, commitment, fostering leadership, in-
culcating missionary zeal among students,
zeal to excel and zest for change we aspire
to be the top B-School of Utarakhand very
soon. Our VISION is to be among the top
B-School of the country in a decade from
now. The SOM library in consonance with
its vision subscribes to nearly 30 national
and foreign journals.
MBA (Four Semesters): During frst two
semesters, core courses will be taught. In
the third and fourth semester courses based
on elective specialization will be taught.
The School of Management IT lab is
fully networked with 40 terminals and is
equipped with the latest statistical sof-
wares such as SPSS 16.0, SYSTAT, etc. The
Lab is open till late in the evening so that
students can work on their assignments and
projects.
2.5 School of Social Sciences
The School of Social Sciences is pro-
posed to be multidisciplinary in profle
including leading disciplines with focus
on sustainable development. It aims at to
investigate, analyze and conceptualize the
issues and processes of social change in
society more so in the context of globaliza-
tion. It also intends to develop teaching and
research programmes by synergizing the
local knowledge with advance tools and
methodologies of diferent disciplines of
social sciences.
In the year 2010-11 MA programme in
Economics was started. The four semester
course has core courses and elective cours-
es. The thrust is on developing analytical
skills and their applications to emerging
economic issues of time. While core courses
are designed to train students with the
theoretical rigor of the discipline, the elec-
tive courses are nuanced with the applied
concerns of the region in its spatial
dimension.
In the year 2011-2012, Five Year Inte-
grated M.Sc. with specialization in Econom-
ics/ Environment and Natural Resource
Economics/Business Economics is being
introduced. Students shall have an oppor-
tunity to get exposure in the new advances
in the subject in an interdisciplinary man-
ner. The course has an exit option with B.A.
(Honors) afer completion of three years.
Students will have to write a dissertation
during ninth and tenth semester of the
course.
2.6 Diploma in Security Management
The increasing demand for profession-
als in the feld of security has opened new
opportunity of employment. However there
are no institutions to educate and impart
skills to meet the managerial needs of the
security sector. Recognizing the huge gap in
the feld, Doon University has stated a one
year diploma in Security Management.
The course is designed to train prospec-
tive managers in security, counter terrorism,
fre prevention, fre fghting, and safety. To
manage resources beter, they are educated
in personnel and material management, us-
ing modern technology. They are also given
training in event management, crisis and
disaster management. A short Law Capsule
helps them to remain within the Law; and
to advise frms accordingly. Development
of personalities and stress on ethics & moral
values makes them beter citizens, hence
beter managers.
The training is systematic, progressive,
through lectures, discussions, practices both
by day and night. The faculty includes se-
nior ofcers of the armed forces, and guest
faculty belonging to diplomats and acade-
micians who help to inculcate trainees to
examine diferent perspectives of security
and understand requirements security at
district, state and national levels.
