A POWERFUL VISION

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
Former President of India
The right thing to do for marginalized society would be to
provide them education. To do this at a scale needed, we
need to enlist private initiative as much as possible. The
example of Manipal serves as a beacon which could guide
both Central and State Governments on what can be done.
Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia
Dy. Chairman, Planning Commission
When Dr TMA Pai decided to build a medical college in
Manipal, it sounded like an impossible dream. In the space
of 50 years, Manipal was transformed into an education
capital, which is proof enough of a powerful vision.

DRIVING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

competence that can contribute to the creation of the
distance learning environment in the institution.
At SMU-DE, Department of Staff Training and Academic
Research (DSTAR) will promote the domain, distance
education, interdisciplinary research and involve actively
in Staff Training and Development for various Distance
Education Providers.
What will DSTAR promote?
• Identification of the training needs of Academic
counselors at SMU-DE study centres, Course
Writers/Reviewers, Question Paper Setters/ IA and
Project Evaluators
• Organize and conduct training and staff development
activities for the identified target groups within
SMU-DE and other DE institutions
• Facilitate domain research activities at SMU-DE
• Facilitate Faculty Development through PhD
programs
Activities by DSTAR:
