It is also a continuous exercise for the department to conduct seminars and symposia, and refresher courses periodically. Mention may be made here that the Special Assistance Programme (SAP) extended by UGC continuously for 15 years from 1993-94 to 2007-08 and also the grant from DST – FIST enabled the department to have a concrete footing so as to reach this height with maximum facilities. In addition to basic amenities, the department has special cell for gamma radiation, tissue culture, animal rearing and then glass house for insect culture, besides fish museum and computer lab. The central instrumentation facility as well as bioinformatics centre enables the scholars to get in touch with modern equipments and recent innovative and information technology. Year of establishment: 1972 The Department of Life Sciences established in 1972 as a PG Study Centre of the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, under the name “Department of Applied Biology”. It offers post graduation as well as doctoral research programme in the field of basic disciplines such as Ecology, Entomology, Fishery, Genetics, Parasitology, Plant Pathology besides Plant and Animal Physiology. As it is a combination of Botany and Zoology, the department admits as many as 80 students every year for the M. Sc course. Nearly 80 scholars pursue at present for their doctoral programme. The department is 10 Professors, 8 Readers, 2 Senior Lecturers and a dozen supporting staff. Research on thrust areas like Bio-resource, Biodiversity and Bio-ecology of animals, plants and microbes has been one of the primary goals of the faculty members right from the day of inception of the department and therefore, over the period of time, a number of research projects have been taken up and they were funded by the Government agencies like AICTE, 2.

Description: Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal has a long history of responding to the long cherished demand of the people of North-East India in the field of health. It is an autonomous Institute under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India and registered under the Manipur Society Act 1860. It is shared by the seven North-Eastern States including Sikkim. The Institute came into existence after tireless efforts of a few visionaries and was tenderly nurtured by great protagonists of the time. A 300 bedded General Hospital was inaugurated by Shri Y.B. Chavan, the then Union Home Minister on October 22, 1968. It is still being used as the main hospital block of the Institute. On May 22, 1972 a foundation stone of the first ever medical college was laid by Shri B.K. Nehru, the then Governor of Manipur on the soil of the State, under the banner of Manipur Medical College. The Medical College was established as a joint venture of the North Eastern States headed by the Government of Manipur and the Central Government. On September 14, 1972, the name of the College was changed to Regional Medical College, Imphal. After being taken over by the NEC in the year 1976, the College was renamed as North Eastern Regional Medical College under the 3 (A) Staff Strength: (i) Administrative / Non-teaching: 1 Director 2 Dean (Academic) 3 Deputy Director management of North Eastern Regional Medical College Society. Since August, 1976, it was run under NEC, Shillong which was under the Ministry of Home, Government of India. By then it was the only medical college run by the Ministry of Home, Govt. of India. From 1-4-1995 the college was again renamed as Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal. With the creation of a new Ministry in the Centre by the name of Ministry of DoNER, the NEC along with RIMS was shifted from the Ministry of Home to the Ministry of DoNER in the year 2001. However, due to various constraints in the management of institutions, the Ministry of DoNER decided to handover all institutions under NEC to their parent Ministries. Thus, from the first of April, 2007, RIMS, along with other medical related institutions under the Ministry of DoNER were handed over to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India. 2. Objectives: The objectives of this premier institute are to cater to the needs of the North Eastern Region in the field of imparting quality medical education and ameliorate the health condition of the cosmopolitan population of North Eastern States of India. It also aims to bridge the gap of health manpower in the region. 1 1 1 111 MANIPUR UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 4 Chief Accounts Officer cum Financial Adviser 5 Administrative Officer 6 Accounts Officer 7 Librarian 8 Deputy Librarian 9 Cataloguer 10 A/E (Civil) 11 A/E (Electrical) 12 Other Staff 13 Grade-III (Contract) 14 Grade-IV (Regular) 15 Grade-IV (Contract) 16 Daily wages (ii) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 172 23 211 70 15 Teaching Staff: 1 2 3 4 Professor Associate Professor Assistant Professor Sr. Registrar/Demonstrator Registrar/Demonstrar/LM O 68 46 44 99 (iii) Hospital: 1 Medical Superintendant 2 Chief Medical Officer 3 Chief Medical Officer (Blood Bank) 4 Blood Bank Officer 5 Nursing Superintendant 6 Dy.

While it shows a rise in such area as opening of skill development courses (e.g. Foreign Trade, Industrial Fish & Fisheries, Self Help Group Management, etc.) in line with different UGC schemes, there appears a decline in Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER). The period witnessed a steady increase in the infrastructure development of a few colleges as had been endorsed by proposals submitted by the colleges. Proposals for organizing seminar/workshop, opening of new subjects, establishment of new academic institution etc. also speak of enthusiasm on Teaching = 53 Teaching= 10 the part of the teaching community and fulfillment of local needs. In addition to this, upgradation of courses, renewal of affiliation, etc. had formed routine matters of the CDC as had been done over the years. It is felt that the colleges seem to be unaware of many of the schemes of UGC XIth plan. It cannot help but saying that the focus has changed over from general courses to skill oriented courses in view of its practical ends. One day this emerging new trend may account for a wide scale employment generation in the state. An orientation programme for all the principals of colleges will be of much conducive towards accomplishment of this end.
