Hi, hello, this is Vaishnavi, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication from Ushmania University. The government has announced this college, Women's College, into a university. We are in front of the Koti Women's College. Now, it's turning into a university. Come, let's go and have an interview with the principal. Now we have with the principal of Women's College, Koti. Good afternoon, Mom. Good afternoon. Mom, how do you feel that your college is turning into a university? Yeah, it is getting upgraded to university. We are very happy, even our students stop. Everyone is very much at high level, enjoying the movements, whatever we are seeing. I think you must have seen in the social media also. All the students have enjoyed the day when it was in the budget when our beloved honorable chief minister has given 100 crores for this college to be upgraded to the university. They have celebrated a lot and everybody is enjoying these movements. We are very happy for it. And also, thank the chief minister for upgrading this college to the university. Mom, what is the vision of our university when it will come to an implement? Actually, we are planning to start new courses which will be very, very useful for the girls' students. And also, we want to implement new vocational courses in this college. So that, apart from the regular curriculum, they will also take up one of the vocational courses which will be useful for their future. And also, under the human development cell, we are conducting new programs where we will be helping the students to learn new methods as to how they should face the interviews and how to write their resumes. All these we are helping up them. And since these girls are from first generation where their parents have not been educated. Now, the students who are here are the first generation educated students in their family. So, for them, we are conducting new classes like communication, how to improve their communication skills and all those. So, that way, we feel that once they are finished their three years course in this college, we will be helping them to understand what their requirement is after they complete their course and also how to go about for their higher education. Mom, are there any diploma courses that you started now or after the university will come implement? Then you will start that. We already have two diploma courses. One is Marriage Counseling and another one is Child Health. And also, we have two certificate courses in chemistry where it is one is four in six sciences and the other one is pharmaceutical sciences. Once this is converted into university, we have many plans for diploma courses and also online courses we are planning out for distance education, distance learning. Mom, are there any facilities for girls like married girls also come here to study and girls problem and all that stuff. Are you planning for that new technology to introduce to those girls? What new technology you are talking about? Like, I am talking about girls problems we have now. Even you said that, the hostels are starting now. The hostels are only for PG students or UG and PG students? We are planning for both UG and PG. We are actually asking the government to give us a hostel for mostly 3000 students. So that all the students can be accommodated in the college, especially the students from rural background. 180 kilometers if they are having, they should be able to get the hostel facility. Mom, how does it feel to separate from Osmania University? It is actually the parent university. I belong to Osmania University right now. So it is again a privilege to one of the college to be uplifted to a university that will also help many of the girls students to come up. Mom, are there any, like, you are expanding the staff and budgets also right? So, means the staff of Osmania University who are working here, means they will not work here? No, no, they will be given an option. So there will be an option form. And depending upon their interest whether they want to stay in this or they want to go to their parent university, it all will be left to the concerned staff whoever is working there. If they want to be staying here, they can stay otherwise they can go to the Osmania University. Mom, actually we are talking about gender equality and all that right. How does it feel like only for women's college and it is not like gender equality? They are all talking about gender equality but it is only of a men's university right? No, this is because many of the girls who are coming are from the rural background and you know the mentality of the parents who are staying in the rural background. They want their children to be secured and stay in those colleges where there are only women. That is a reason every state has to have a women's university. That will secure the students that if they are willing to study also if their parents are not allowing to go for a co-ed education. They have a possibility that there is another university where they can send their students for children for education. In that way if you are thinking this is one of the good platforms for such students to come and study. There is no other college. How does it feel like you become a university when you are in rural life? I am an alumna of this college. I started my UG here. I did my BZC in the year 1987 to 1990. So it is like I am feeling very proud to be here in this seat as a principal when the change in this academic achievement is taking place. I am very happy for it. There are bar hall and bar is pride. Now it is becoming a museum too. Are there will be a visitor or something like that for the outers? Yes. We are planning it out so that the academics will not be getting disturbed. Also there should be an opening for the visitors to come and visit the bar hall and the museum. So that this pride should be showcased and everybody should know that there is a certain kind of bar hall in the women's college. Many of them don't know. We have to tell them that there is something very important monument which is there. And because of world, world, monument fund and national cultural fund, we are able to revive this privilege of what we have. And I am very very happy for that. Like, by the time we expect to do this, we are able to do it well. We are able to do it well. Like, girls' security manner, martial arts manner, etc. And we are able to do physical training. Physical training is right now we don't have. We are planning out. Actually, some of the girls go to the Alba the stadium and get trained. Because here itself the selections will be done and they will be sent to the Alba the stadium. But we are planning to have our own in-campus training for this self-defense mechanism. Mom, physical structures like you said that there will be more, you are accommodating for more than 3000 students. So, there will be any, like what do you say that infrastructure. And you are asking them to take that ground also. Sports ground will not be there. There will be sports ground will be there. We are not touching sports ground. But only we are asking for a big hostel which is ground plus 9. We are going in upward direction not spreading it. And one more is a classroom complex. So that if we are giving new courses to the students, if you are starting new courses, then number of classrooms required or also more. That is a reason we are asking for a classroom complex as well as the hostel complex. When I spoke to Madam Education Minister Srimathi Sabita Indira Reddy, she was rightly saying that we should have a new hostel with good technology, lift facility, all those things. So that all the students, whoever we are accommodating should be safe as well as having all the amenities, whatever, and international hostel should have. So that is those are the words told by Madam Sabita Indira Reddy Garo. So in the same lines we are also planning for a new hostel which will be having almost all the amenities required for these girls students. Thank you, Mom.
