MAHARSHI DAYANAND UNIVERSITY, ROHTAK (Established under Haryana Act No.XXV of 1975) 'A+' Grade University accredited by NAAC FOREWORD This is a glorious moment for me to write this foreword for the latest and updated Volume-I of University Calendar. It goes without saying that being an established institution each and every activity of the University is governed by its Act, Statutes, Rules & Regulations and Ordinances which have been framed over a long passage of time. These leave little scope for tilting of the rules and therefore bind the acts in a positive framework. Act and Statutes have been incorporated in the present volume in an appropriate shape. It contains guidelines of functioning for its statutory functionaries and provides a glimpse to all those interested in learning the functioning pattern of the University. It is a reference manual for all University officials who are guided by it while taking decisions and acting in the ultimate interest of our studentship.
It is our Academic Branch which is mainly instrumental in framing such vital documents and then comes our Press in picture in giving black and white shape to these in bound and usable form. Both have done tremendous job. While all efforts have been made to ensure that no error finds place in this; nevertheless in case any such thing is noticed or brought to the notice by any well-wisher, the same shall be instantly rectified.
Rohtak.
