About

Assam University Research Scholars' Forum (AURSF)

The Assam University Research Scholars’ Forum is a dedicated platform created by and for research scholars at Assam University. Established in 2009, our mission is to amplify the voices of research scholars, advocate for their rights, and address critical issues such as Non-NET and other fellowships disbursement and ensuring a smooth completion of PhD programs.

As research scholars ourselves, we understand the challenges and obstacles that fellow scholars face during their academic journey. Through this forum, we aim to foster a supportive community where scholars can come together to voice their concerns, share experiences, exchange ideas, and collectively work towards creating a more conducive environment for research and learning. We believe that a healthy and supportive environment is crucial for fostering better research outcomes and academic growth.

Assam University

Assam University, Silchar is a Central University established by an Act of the Indian Parliament (Act XXIII of 1989), and came into existence in 1994. Situated in the Barak Valley of southern Assam, the University is nestled in a sprawling 600-acre campus at Dargakona, about 23 km from Silchar town. In 2007, Assam University opened a 90-acre satellite campus at Diphu in the Karbi Anglong Hills District of Assam, thereby making quality higher education accessible to a wider section of society. With students’ strength about 5000 in both the campuses, the University is a veritable melting pot of diverse communities, ideas and creativity. Apart from the two campuses of the University, there are 73 affiliated and permitted colleges in the five districts of south Assam, which together constitute the jurisdiction of Assam University and there are more than 37,000 students enrolled in the affiliated colleges.

Since 1994, Assam University has expanded both in size and reputation. Today, there are 43 postgraduate departments under 16 schools of studies in the Silchar campus and 10 departments in Diphu campus, offering a wide range of programmes geared towards equipping students and research scholars with knowledge, skills, experience and confidence, the benefits of which they can reap well into the future. Besides, there are several Centres of Study in the University dedicated to research of high quality. Recently, the University has developed a strategy for enhancing the range of pedagogic uses of technology. As part of this strategy, the University is in the process of gradually turning all its classrooms into state-of-the-art ones enabling teachers to teach using a wide variety of media. There’s no gainsaying that in the last twenty eight years of its relentless pursuit of academic excellence, Assam University has made giant strides in providing better academic atmosphere and improved infrastructural facilities.
