University Press - A
Brief Profile
Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University Press
came into existence in 1968 during the Vice-Chancellorship of Prof.
Dr. Vishweswar Prasad and the then Registrar, Late Amrendra Narayan,
in order to meet the day-to-day printing requirements of the
University as well as its Constituent Units. A Statutory Press
Committee was formed and Dr. Sharda Devi Vedalankar, the then
Principal Of S. M. College, Bhagalpur, was appointed as the President
of the Committee. Initially, the Press was started under the
supervision of a Press Manager. Since 1975, the Press is being managed
either by an Statutory Officer of the University or by a
Professor-In-Charge (deputed from time to time) along with a statutory
Press Committee consisting of six members and some invitees also.
At present the Press comprises of five
sections i.e.,
(a) Establishment-cum management
(b) Composing
(c) Proof Reading
(d) Machine and
(e) Daftari/Binding.
Major
Focus of the Press:
The University Press of Tilka Manjhi,
Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, Bihar was set up with a view to cope
with all the printing work of the University and its constituents
units. The Government of Bihar has given financial help for its
establishment. The Press has also received some grants from U.G.C. for
its development form time to time. Initially the Press was started
under the supervision of a Press Manager, Late Shri Asharfi Miishra
but after his sudden demise in 1975 it is being managed either by a
Statutory Officer of the University or by a Professor-in-charge along
with a statutory Press committee consisting of six members and some
special invitees.
As a constituent unit and source of
central facilities the University Press plays a vital role to fulfill
all the printed materials when needed.
Since its inception, the University
Press has been printing almost all the important, documents i.e.,
proceedings of the Senate, Syndicate, Academic Council and other
bodies; certificates, degrees, syllabi, of various courses, tabulation
registers, marks sheets, answer books, examination and admission
forms, admit cards, identity cards, catalogue, note sheets, fly leaf,
foil books, magazine, research journals, calendar, envelope,
invitation cards, question papers of the test examinations, money
receipts etc. The orders for the above work come from the examination
and other sections of the University as well as from 34 University
Departments, 29 Constituent Colleges and other allied units. The Press
had earlier (from 1973-1975) also taken up the printing work of
questions papers of the University examinations but for want of
sufficient security, it has not been done since then.
