South Campus to become paperless

South Campus, Delhi University, has now decided to make the documentation of administrative work fully computerised. The administrative work and teaching process will therefore become paperless soon promoting the use of networking within various departments.
The experimentation had begun two months back. Says Dinesh Singh, director, South Campus: "The less the paper work, the more the efficiency.The computerised system will also ease the burden of staff members."
The campus has also tied up with the computer centre in North Campus to facilitate networking. According to Singh, teachers in different departments will now be able to interact with each other via internet and other software.
Teachers would save commuting time and also help each other by sharing information. Explains Singh: "Our computers have a web camera installed within the system. If a teacher in South Campus needs to look at a question paper prepared by a teacher in North Campus, he/she can take the document near the computer to share it instead of going through the hassle of scanning or mailing."
The computerisation aims to solve many problems within the campus. As South Campus is facing a faculty crunch, students can take e-lectures from those in the other campus. "We are also planning to develop a network wherein a few colleges can be linked via university computer networking and can deliver lectures to students," adds Singh.
Few areas of the campus have also been made wi fi to enable students to access the internet anywhere in the campus. Even the hostels are a part of the campus' wi-fi zones.
