15.2. Service to the community
Community services can be through involvement in various community service activities at
Department, College or University Level. However, a faculty can also make a positive contribution
towards community services directly also, with University acknowledgement.
Service to the community may constitute a wide range of activities and responsibilities including
(but not limited to) technology transfer; presentation of public lectures, seminars and workshops;
involvement in cultural or scientific activities for community, directorship of sports teams and
events, involvement in community service projects in the region etc.
15.3. University and Community Services as part of Annual Faculty Appraisal and Promotion
University and Community Service is one of the three criteria, other than teaching & learning and
research & scholarly activities, and carries a weightage of 10% for the purpose of “Annual Faculty
Appraisal” and also for their “Promotion”. DU continuously encourages and supports its students
and staff to engage themselves in industry and community engagement activities.
