Since UGC-Academic Staff College, University of Calcutta, began its journey on October 08, 1990, it has persistently engaged itself in organizing increasing number of Orientation Programs, Refresher Courses, Seminars and Workshops with the objectives of helping the teachers discharge their professional commitments more effectively. Our functions have got a new dimension in the wake of the decision to make participation in these programs mandatory for the purpose of career advancement of teachers.

Academic Activities of ASC-CU (last 19 Years) 

 Infrastructural Facilities

Over the years UGC-ASC, CU, has built up reasonable infra-structural facilities in order to cater to the needs of our participant colleagues in OPs and RCs from different colleges and universities. We have a TV, and a VCR, four overhead projectors, three slide projectors, two microphones (including one cordless button microphone),  and a library having about 2500 volumes. We have two classrooms and the two office rooms, all air-conditioned. A burning problem is the lack of hostel facilities. With our existing facilities we can accommodate only a few participants at a time.

MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE LABORATORY
