A quantitative Assessment of Competency Based Tourism Education in India: An Industry
Perspective.
Management competencies have gained wider importance in the business organization today. These
competencies include the importance of skills, knowledge and the behavioral capacity to act
appropriately. To develop competencies one must be introduced to knowledge and have the opportunity
to practice one’s skills. Of the various employment industries, tourism and hospitality occupy a
prominent position which require the position of transferable generic skills in the areas of leadership,
communication, strategic thinking and decision making. A sound manpower plan with sharp focus on
competency management is that which facilitates organizational effectiveness. Accordingly the
placement of right person with right competencies at the right place is essential winning competitive
advantage in today’s dynamic context. With this backdrop, the present research aims to examine the
existing provision to tourism education at higher level in context of Travel Agencies and tour operating
sector of India and to find the qualitative gap in terms of importance vis-à-vis performance of each
management competency among the tourism professionals in the industry. The study also examines
the impact of management competencies on organization productivity and to suggest ways and options
to reduce and bridge the gap, thereby improving the existing tourism education and training in India.

Department of Botany
The Department of Botany was established in 1998 to train the students desirous of learning,
understanding, teaching and counselling various aspects of plant sciences. Courses were designed to
take care of both the classical and contemporary aspects of Botany.
Within a short span of its establishment, the Department earned a name as an important centre of
studies in Botany in the country. In the initial stages, the students had the option of specializing in
Cytogenetics, Mycology, Ecology or Limnology. The Department now has both the expertise and
infrastructure to help students opt for getting advanced training in many other areas of specialization
such as Molecular genetics, Biosystematics, Reproductive biology, Plant pathology, Mushroom science,
Tissue culture and Bryology.
With the help of grants received from various funding agencies (UGC, DST, DBT, GBPIHED, NRSA,
MoEF,CSIR etc.), the Department is now in a position to let its students unravel the intricacies of plants
and microbial life even at the molecular level. The Department has also successfully completed some
consultancy projects.

To Trace Vulnerabilities in Network Applications and Develop Generalized Snort Rules to Counter
these Vulnerabilities
This research work is intended to study various existing application vulnerabilities, primarily in web
based applications, trace new upcoming vulnerabilities and develop snort rules to protect applications
against attacks. Focus will be on demonstrating the practical risks associated with technical
vulnerabilities like URL manipulation, SQL injection, Cross site scripting, Backend authentication, session
hijacking etc. Various injection flaws will be demonstrated in commonly used databases like SQL Server,
Oracle, MS Access. The outcome of these experiments will be used for developing various vulnerability
based snort rules to protect applications regardless of method of attack.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Metal Complexes of O,O’-Ditolyldithiophosphates and Their
Biological Activity
l
The present research project deals with the synthesis and characterization of noble O,O’- (o-, m- & pditolyl)dithiophosphato complexes of some metals and metalloids and also to investigate their
biological activity as well as other industrial and technical applications. We have recently isolated and
characterized these O,O’-(o-, m- & p-ditolyl)dithiophoshato ligands, (CreO)2PS2X, (where CreO = o-, mand p-cresol and X = H/Na/NH 4), by the reaction of ortho-, meta- and para-hydroxytoluene with
phosphorus-pentasulfide, P2S5. It is to state that a substantial amount of work has been done on
analogous dialkyl- and alkylenedithiophosphates but only meager information are available on
ditolyldithiophosphates. So, it is likely to develop this field by synthesizing some new compounds of
interesting structural and physical properties as well as versatile applications.

Stereochemistry around group 13 metals in macrocyclic complexes containing auxiliary ligands
A systematic study concerning the complexation of metal ions with salicylic acid and its derivatives has
been of great interest. Salicylic acid (SA) and its derivatives (H2L) are biologically important ligands.
These are widespread in nature and are of considerable relevance in medicinal chemistry. Its well
known and most widely used drug aspirin reduces the risk of many diseases associated with aging and
is also used in the treatment of rheumatic fever, pain and for the prevention of thrombosis in the
vascular system. In the search of literature, it was revealed that there are many studies which deal with
SA complexes of various metal ions. By virtue of wide applicability of the macrocycles, a variety of
142
complexes with substituted porphyrins containing auxiliary ligands such as SA, 5-SSA etc. and their
dimeric species will be prepared and characterized.

Preparation and thermal characterization of novel hydrogen bonded mesogens incorporating
nonmesogens through selective recognition
l
The project is related to the preparation of mesogenic materials by mixing various members of the
homologous series of 4-n-alkyl benzoic acid and 4-‘n-alkoxy benzoic acid with 4.4’-bipyridyl and related
bipyridine molecules. The different phases thus obtained will be analysed from the view point of
hydrogen bonding. The complexes thus obtained will be characterized by microscopic, thermal and xray techniques. The aim is also to study structure property relationship.

Synthesis of unnatural á-amino acids by transfer hydrogenation and building blocks for
medicinal chemistry and material science from á-nitroacetate
l
Project consists of two parts:
The first part deals with the novel synthesis of un-natural á-amino acids (aryl/heterylalanines) by
using transfer hydrogenation protocol established in our laboratory. Phenylalanine has been chosen
for the synthesis of its analogs since it is present in many bioactive peptides. The amino acids, so
obtained, can be resolved.
The second part deals with the usage of the intermediates of the first part for the synthesis of building
blocks for medicinal chemistry (fused heterocyclic systems) and materials science (fused
heteropolycycles) using Buchwald coupling.
The importance of the proposed methodology lies in its ease and simplicity. Cheaply available ánitroacetate will be used as the starting material. The building blocks can be advantageously used as
scaffolds to tune the physicochemical and biochemical properties to render drug like structures. The
synthesis of heteropolycycles from heterobicycles involves iterative approach. The heteropolycycles
may find applications as organic semiconductors, electrochemical materials, liquid crystals etc.

“Health Seeking Behaviour Among Women ( 35-65 years) of Jammu”
The changing demographic structure is occurring worldwide with a gradual shift towards a higher
proportion of older people. Women across the world face similar situations when it comes to healthcare.
Aged women have not been given much importance, but as the aged population in India is increasing,
any policy targeting women’s health must recognize that women’s health outcomes are invariably
linked to other aspects of their lives and to their unequal positions. However current “uterocenteric”
policies fail to recognize that women’s health in isolation leads to an improper understanding of the
issues and therefore too clumsy and ineffective policy planning. State policy’s overemphasis on
reproductive health and a total neglect of all other aspects of Indian women’s lives ensures that they
receive policy attention only in their child bearing years and for their reproductive functions. The
present study endeavors to fill these lacunae by taking holistic view of health from the perspective of
women.

Triggering High Energy Physics At CERN
In order to address the most basic of questions experimentally, large-scale facilities, operating over
timescales of decades are required. These facilities are built and operated by collaborations of hundreds
or even thousands, of physicists, providing a model for international cooperation in terms of the
efficient exchange of ideas and expertise both for the development of the advanced technologies
used in the detector construction and for scientific exploitation and publications. In recent years, the
CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland has increasingly become the international focus of particle
physics. As well as an extensive portfolio of fixed target experiments, it is the host of the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). The LHC has a wide-ranging programme of searches for previously unknown physics,
which might be observed by production of new heavy particles. A complementary approach to searching
for new phenomena is offered by the NA62 experiment, which will study ultrarare decays of kaons
(particles containing strange quarks), which are particularly sensitive to the effects of the muchchampioned supersymmetry, model for extensions to the existing list of known particles. At NA62 we
expect to have answers to several fundamental questions. This project is aimed to build the triggering
devices in collaboration with University of Birmingham and analysis the rare decays at NA62.

Department of Strategic and Regional Studies
The Department of Strategic and Regional Studies (DSRS), earlier known as the Centre for Strategic and
Regional Studies (CSRS) was conceptualised by His Excellency Chancellor of the University and Governor
of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, General KV Krishna Rao, in 1985. Subsequently, University Grants
Commission appointed a special committee that submitted its report in 1987, recommending that in
view of the rapidly changing security environment, intensive efforts should be made to promote
general awareness of strategic issues and national security in the country.
It envisaged setting up a Centre for dedicated research and studies on strategic, security and regional
issues, which could develop in an incremental manner under a Director, with the status of a Professor.
It has been conceived to promote and undertake focused research on strategic issues, national security,
and geo- strategic developments in the areas contiguous to India in a substantive and inclusive manner.
The Centre started M.Phil and Ph.D programmes in Strategic Studies in April 2004. The Centre was
elevated to the status of a full-fledged teaching department by the University Council on April 21,
2006.

Institute of Himalayan Glaciology (IHG)
The Institute of Himalayan Glaciology (IHG), formerly known as Regional Centre for Field Operations
and Research on Himalayan Glaciology (RCFORHG), was established in 2006. The objective of setting up
the Institute of Himalayan Glaciology is to undertake detailed scientific study of glaciers occupying the
J&K Himalaya. The study of glaciers in past few years has assumed great importance. Glaciers are
considered to be the barometer to understand the change in climate or global warming. Besides, the
glaciers are the largest storehouse of fresh water that can be utilized judiciously for drinking, hydropower
generation and irrigation purposes. The J&K Himalaya houses about 4000 glaciers of the total 9500
glaciers in Indian Himalaya. It is, therefore imperative to undertake study of glaciers in J&K Himalaya to
unravel the quantity of water stored in glaciers and their life as it would help the policy makers to
accordingly draw society need based policies.
The Institute is headed by Prof. R.K. Ganjoo

possibly amongst a handful in the world that began providing research and teaching facilities in African,
Australian, Canadian, Caribbean as well as Indian Literature in English including translated texts from
Indian Literatures into English, under one roof.
The nomenclature of “Centre for New Literature” was further changed to “Centre for New Literatures,
Culture and Communication” in 2008 under the ambit of which the scope and activities of the Centre
increased manifold. The Centre started facilitating research and studies by following interdisciplinary
methodology, involving literary, social, political and anthropological aspects of the research topic. This
important dimension of the research provided an impetus to the agreements which were reached
between the Centre and the foreign universities, leading to MOUs and agreements with University of
Lethbridge,Alberta and University of Calgary, Canada, etc.

international requirements which strive to prescribe norms for these varieties as defined by
the labels such as Canadian, Australian, American, Indian, Carribean and South African with the
status of English being considered as the global language today with wide variations in
vocabulary, syntax and usage that makes the study of British Literature inadequate.
To provide primary assistance to the research scholars and the faculty members not only
belonging to the Department of English but also from other departments of Literatures in the
University to consult its magnificent collections of books and periodicals in order to prepare
their proposals for the registration of M.Phil and Ph.D programmes and preparing their papers

and thus equip the researcher to present a wider and a complete perspective of the literary
studies more appropriate in today’s altered scenario.

programmes.

the students and the people of the region. The Complex houses an auditorium, a museum and an art
gallery. The auditorium is named after General Zorawar Singh, a Dogra soldier, famous for his military
expeditions. The Museum is named after Shiekh Noor-Ud-Din Noorani, a great sufi and propagator of
Rishi cult in Kashmir and the Art gallery is named after Rinchen Bzangpo, a scholar and propagator of
Buddhism in Ladakh and the founder of Gompas, famous for their architecture and design.

GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING COURSE
University of Jammu became the charter member of the International Association of Global
Understanding (IAGU) in 2008 and started a Certificate Course in Global Understanding in collaboration
with twenty five foreign universities from sixteen countries. Subsequently, the International Association
of Global Understanding (IAGU) was renamed as Global partners in Education (GPE). The course became
a major component of the global academic initiatives taken in the University of Jammu.
The Global Understanding course provides opportunity to students from twenty three Universities on
five continents to study and collaborate with their peers through face to face class meetings using live
video, audio, and chat technologies. Through lectures, small group discussions and by working with
individual partners, the students learn about universal issues ranging from family structure to cultural
prejudices and stereotypes.
The course provides unique opportunities to learn, to communicate, appreciate, work with and
understand people from other cultures through direct and personal interaction with students from
other cultures.
The 13th batch of this course (January – May 2012) concentrated on the Global Cultural issues. The
course aimed at developing an understanding of communication and culture, in both global and
community settings, and the way members of diverse cultures and subcultures utilize unique systems,
symbols and media representation to communicate among themselves and other groups. Special
emphasis was on developing communication competence, appreciating cultural diversity in our lives,
listening, developing effective communication skills when interacting with diverse populations,
overcoming communication apprehension, and the understanding of culture through the collection of
oral histories and stories.
This course was offered as a partnership between East Carolina University, the United States Department
of State, Faculdade de Jaguariúna (Brazil), Shandong University (China), and University of Jammu (India).
Intended to foster cross-cultural understanding of global climate change, it was the first of its-kind
partnership which kicked off on February 3, with a presentation by President Obama’s top science
adviser, John P. Holdren, on “Science and the Impact of Climate Change.” Holdren, Director of the
Office of Science and Technology Policy, delivered a lecture through videoconferencing , to students at
ECU and at partner universities in India, China and Brazil — three countries that are major players in the
climate change debate. Austin Bunch, ECU Associate Provost, hailed the partnership as a “feather in
the cap” for the universities worldwide.
