The SNDT Women’s University(SNDT WU) was
founded a hundred years ago, by a visionary
man called, Dr. Dhondo Keshav Karve - now
affectionately and devotedly revered –
Bharat Ratna Maharshi Karve - a great
visionary with a realization– a great vision
–'Sanskrita Stree Parashakti' (An
enlightened woman is a source of infinite
strength) - that set the Indian society
changing; the world changing. The
SNDT Women’s University was founded in 1916
with five women students.
In its ninety-nine years of glorious
service, the SNDT Women’s University has
mentored and educated lakhs of women
students in various disciplines. However,
times have changed. The need to scale up
both in quality and in quantity is
tremendous when new avenues of knowledge are
opening up for women.
The SNDT WU is fully aware of the
limitations of the traditional methods to
reach the unreached and to expand the scale
of operations and hence requires imaginative
approach and application of modern tools,
technologies and methods. In times to come
the reach or sphere of influence of any
Institution be it public or private - most
of all the academia - a University-would be
determined by the quality and breadth of its
digital presence. The SNDT WU knows that it
is the way, and the only way.
The SNDT WU is earnest about the digital
literacy and digital empowerment of present
and future students. In pursuance of this
the University has created a road map for
the digital empowerment of its stakeholders
and has completed the following:
- Connecting its three campuses viz. Churchgate, Juhu and Pune through a virtual tunnel.
- Creating WiFi connectivity on its three
campuses - in progress
- Intranet Portal using a platform -
‘Susamvad’ - for communication across all
the three campuses
Several student centric applications are
being developed and deployed on all three
campuses.
