Inauguration of Centre of Excellence at Anurag University

 

#AnuragUniversity, based in Hyderabad is spread over 50 acres with a built up area of over 700,000 square feet. Facilities at the University are equipped to train about 6000 students with the support of around 650 teaching and administrative staff.

Anurag University has been a #Qlik Academic Program partner since more than 3 years. This relationship has been quite fruitful and some of the results that are a product of this engagement include a Data Analytics Club by students, more than 90 academic program qualifications and certifications gained by students and Professors out of which 14% went on to gain employment basis these qualifications and certifications, webinars on the academic program.

As the next step forward, to further strengthen this relationship, a “Centre of Excellence in analytics powered by Qlik” was inaugurated on 10th February. This Centre is a full-fledged computer lab dedicated for learning analytics through the resources offered by the Qlik Academic Program.

I had the pleasure of inaugurating this Centre along with the Vice Chancellor of the University S. Ramachandram and Registrar , Prof S . Sameen Fatima. The event was attended by over 150 students and faculties from the University.





AU has laid out some aims for establishing this CoE which includes enabling data literacy, developing analytics skills in the academic community, and organizing seminar/workshops and guiding the students for learning Data Analytics.

AU will also strive to achieve certain objectives which includes:

1. Making use of industry expertise to inculcate the importance of Data Analytics among students and academicians.

2. Encouraging students towards Product Development and Research.

3. Recognizing best performers through various initiatives moving forward.

The Centre of Excellence is the right impetus for students and Professors to get enabled in data analytics especially when there is a surge in data and being equipped with these skills is the need of the hour
