The University of Kashmir (Kashmiri: دانشگاه کشمیر, Urdu: کشمیر یونورسیٹی, Hindi: कश्मीर विश्वविद्यालय) is on the western side of the Dal Lake in the city of Srinagar which lies in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
It has been awarded grade "A" by the NAAC in 2011.[1][2]
Campuses
The University of Kashmir, since its establishment, has been focused at Hazratbal and encompassing three adjacent areas viz. Amar Singh Bagh, Naseem Bagh and Mirza Bagh. This Campus is spread over 263 acres (1.06 km2).[3]
A major part of Amar Singh Bagh and Naseem Bagh constitute the Hazratbal campus which is laid out on the north-eastern bank of Dal Lake. Earlier, many postgraduate departments, research and other centres were housed in Naseem Bagh. But, the university resolved to develop Naseem Bagh into a heritage site and thereafter, many departments were shifted to other areas of the Hazratbal campus.[4] As of April 2013 Zakura Campus is being developed on 300 kanals of land in close proximity to Hazratbal campus to meet expansion requirements of the University.[5]
Mirza Bagh or "University Town" constitutes buildings housing quarters for the university staff.[6] The idea of extending postgraduate programmes to colleges and also establishing new campuses at Ananthnag and Baramulla was conceived by the then Vice Chancellor Prof J a K Tareen in 2002. He mobilised over 30 crores for the development of the university from the Prime ministers fund for the overall development of the main campus and the establishment of the new campuses. The foundation stones were also laid by Mr Mufti Mohamed sayeed and the palans of buildings were approved. The locations of the campuses had to be changed for reasons of likely floods. After Prof Tareen the development of campuses took a longer time and became operational in 2008/2009. The New social science block, the Life science block, the examination block,The Humanities block,the Ditance Education block, The Media block and many other buildings were constructed during 2001 and 20004 during prof Tareens period out of the PMs special fund he brought for the University. The 200 capacity convention centre was also completed.South Campus of the University established on 259 kanals of land at Fateh Garh, Anantnag was started in October, 2008.[7] North Campus of the University on 559 kanals at Delina, Baramulla was started in December, 2009.[8] Three more campuses at Kupwara, Kargil and Leh are coming up.[9][10]
