It gives me immense pleasure to share that Usha Martin University is taking its learners on a rewarding and productive academic journey leading to employable competencies. Usha Martin University is recognized by the University Grants Commission as a self-financing State Private University with the authority to award certificates, diplomas and degrees. It is also a member of Association of Indian Universities. In the last academic year, awards and honours such as Excellence in Training and Placements were conferred on it as recognition of the quality of education imparted by it. Under the guidance of its various statutory bodies and their eminent members, UMU is focused on promoting a silent social transformation through offer of need based, high quality, cost-effective skill-oriented education for the people of the State of Jharkhand. The University has now instituted Birsa Munda Chair for Agriculture and Sustainable Tribal Development and Naresh Goyal Chair for Innovations led Entrepreneurship. Moreover, the University has been offering scholarships to all its students from the state. These are small steps towards fulfilling our social responsibility and commitment to the society in the state of Jharkhand.

UMU offers flexible, choice based programmes in semester mode. At UMU, we are striving hard to adapt to changes in the dynamic and exciting educational landscape. We are developing a vibrant university-industry interface so as to minimize out-flow of human capital from the state and conserve financial resources of the society through innovative programmes. New programmes such as Post Graduate Diploma Programmes in Supply Chain Management, Data Science and Internet of Things are being put on offer in 2020 session. These would offer maximum chances of employment and entrepreneurship. By so doing, the University hopes to create individuals of high calibre endowed with entrepreneurial skills and who would contribute with sense of service.

Our 2017-19 cohort of MBA students achieved 100% placement. We hope to repeat this achievement this year as well. We provide our learners opportunities to interact with the best minds and employer groups through fortnightly seminars on latest issues. We believe that they can compete with the best, understand the dynamics of job market within the framework of sound ethics in corporate governance. To achieve this,

we emphasize on our faculty to transact knowledge through outcome based and case studies based pedagogy.

I am happy that the University is now operating from its permanent campus at Angara, Ranchi.
