During her address Ms. Hameed
stressed on the need to redefine development in the context of social justice.
“Have the indicators of growth in the GDP gone together with an upward movement
in the indicators of human development?” she asked.
Odisha governor and chancellor of
the universities M.C. Bhandare said Ganjam, Gajapati, Kandhamal, Boudh,
Rayagada, Nabarangpur, Koraput and Malkangiri districts, under the jurisdiction
of Berhampur University, had shown an improved literacy rate. “Each district
except Malkangiri has bridged the gap between male and female literacy during
2001-11. The university has evinced a keen interest in implementing the
Gyanalok programme launched by me to find out reasons for the high dropout rate
among the tribal girls and create awareness among the marginalised sections,”
he said. University vice-chancellor J.K. Mahapatra said they had planned
extension activities and outreach programmes by way of establishing Centre for
Extension Services on Coastal Zone Management and Awareness Programme for Women
Empowerment with funding from the University Grants Commission.
