Its indeed a pleasure to found the website of our University in place. It reflects a picture of strength, weaknesses, opportunity and challenges faced from the very inception in which we started with dual calamities of global pandemic and super-cyclone Amphan. However, with the help of all the stakeholders, university emerges to its natural vibe signifying the growth and at the same time, the lessons to be learnt by our failures, if any. With the pandemic, with its uncertain behaviour has no doubt retarded the progress of almost all institutions including ours. Under the guidance of our hon’ble Chancellor, we have faced the pandemic with clarity and planning and many of our plans have been executed to our satisfaction. Still, we have miles to go and our aim and goal is to see that our university emerges as one of the top-ranking universities of our country.

Mr. Sourav Saha
Program Co-Ordinator , Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Deputy Controller of Examinations
Information technology has grown overwhelmingly widespread in today's world, but its parent discipline, computing science, has become similarly scarce. While many CS educational institutions have shifted their focus away from core CS and toward becoming specialty providers for the IT industry, or, to put it another way, these mass producers of vocationally trained personnel, a few institutions continue to emphasize the pure science that underpins the various aspects of computing. The single most significant feature of the education provided here is this. Our department has stayed committed to the concept that guided its creation. The canonical core of computer science can be presented in a variety of ways. Over the years, we've developed a unique style and method that bridges the gap between theory and practise while remaining firmly rooted in the fundamentals. Technology evolves quickly, particularly in the realm of computing, whereas science evolves considerably more slowly, if at all. Persons who are clear and knowledgeable about the principles, in our opinion, can adjust to rapid technological developments rather readily. We want our pupils' education to set the foundation for a lifetime of study. Our department has generated hundreds of experts and has a national and international reputation. They have regularly outperformed their peers in a highly competitive industry, winning Best Employer/awards from top-tier firms. I credit our success to a winning combination of a dedicated faculty who works hard to provide high-quality education, a well-planned curriculum, and, most importantly, our students. Learning is a lifelong process that does not finish with the completion of a degree, especially when computing technology improve at a rapid pace, reducing the useful life of today's tools and processes. As a result, we do not intend for our pupils to become walking manuals for any language or product. They are instead given a solid foundation in computer science and problem-solving strategies, as well as the ability to adapt to change.We think that this teaching-learning style, along with practical experience gained through Industrial Training at reputable firms, prepares our students to meet the problems that the software industry presents. I am convinced that you will consider our students to be deserving of your organization's attention.

Dr. Somsubhra Gupta
Dean-Science and Director (R&D)
The experience at SVU is really thorough, in-depth and definitely a value addition to own knowledge base. Here the passion towards teaching-learning from both the end of teachers’ and students is a learning experience, even during the hard period of pandemic. These transform the classes of UG & PG programs really a platform to share ideas, no monologue but dialogue in a participatory framework, in which students are always interested in active learning-learning by doing. This overlaps with the goal of the University to produce skill-oriented students. Even this has been extended to PhD programs where scholars are also a part of participatory learning. SVU is a skill-oriented University and students here are more intended towards learning by doing. Instead of stereotype education, this activity-based learning here enhances the employability. Hope we’ll fulfil the huge societal expectation bestowed on us.

Agriculture plays a major role in economy as well as it is considered to be the backbone of economic system for developing countries. Father of Indian Green revolution “M.S. Swaminathan” has said one that ‘If Agriculture Goes Wrong, Nothing Will Go Right’. The development of agricultural technology over the last several decades has progressed to the point that educators now have a bigger duty to keep students and society up to date. Hence, the Agriculture department at SVU is always working to provide students with the most up-to-date skills and experience in order to keep up with the newest industry trends while also building a sustainable and ethical model for global agriculture growth.The School of Agriculture employs a vibrant and highly motivated team of professionals with a diverse set of skills and research interests.

A good work place provides its employees with three things- belonging, purpose and achievement. When employees develop a positive experience at work place it is dependent on the above three factors.
