As
the number of affiliated colleges is growing year by year, the UGC felt that
there is an urgent need for creating an appropriate body at the university
headquarters for ensuring the proper planning and integrated development of
affiliated colleges and to provide the colleges necessary help and guidance.
Thus the College Development Council (CDC) was evolved in Andhra University
during the year 1986. The establishment of the CDC with the active and willing
participation of various academic and administrative constituents, as envisaged
by the UGC, is a welcome step in the direction of improvement of standards of
higher education. The main function of CDC is to serve as an academic guide to
the college system on the one hand and on the other to ensure interaction
between academic faculties in the university departments and teachers in the
colleges. The CDC also conducts meetings with the Principals of affiliated
colleges to appraise them and elicit suggestions with regard to the functioning
of the CDC. In this regard, the CDC also consults different bodies of the
university for the promotion, coordination and raising the standards of
education in colleges. It also acts as a regulatory body in regard to proper
planning and integrated development of colleges and furnish such information to
the UGC and other bodies; advice the university on all matters relating to
development of affiliated colleges, such as provision of adequate facilities –
academic and physical – for raising the standard of learning, teaching and
research and its periodic evaluation for enabling the university to maintain
reasonable continuity of policy in regard to development of colleges. It also
evaluates and assesses the impact of UGC grants utilized by the colleges for the
implementation of various development projects in addition to various functions
like reviewing the inspection reports of New Colleges as well as existing
colleges and suggest remedies for the defects and irregularities reported.
