IQAC

ABOUT IQAC

In pursuance of the National Action Plan of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality up gradation of institutions of higher education, the NAAC proposes that every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of an institution’s system and work towards realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. The IQAC was established at Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (LUVAS) on 13.11.2013 vide Registrar Endst. No. F/2013/7210-20. As per the latest guidelines of UGC, the IQAC LUVAS was reconstituted on 06.12.2023 vide Endst. No. DHRM/2023/2837. The purpose of IQAC is to ensure quality of teaching, learning skills, infrastructure and facilities. The IQAC interacts with students, teachers and administration to ensure co-ordination for quality maintenance. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of an institution’s system and work towards realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the performance of institutions. The IQAC will make a significant and meaningful contribution in the post-accreditation phase of institutions. During the post-accreditation period, the IQAC will channelize the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence.
