The EFLU which was mired under controversies till recently made a comeback with as many as 12 teachers and scholars bagging the prestigious Fulbright scholarships during the last four years. The university staff and students have also bagged five French Government Fellowships and an equal number of European fellowships during the same period.

The EFLU academicians have also bagged four Major Research Projects each worth about Rs 35 lakh from the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). They have also bagged projects from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and University Grants Commission, all worth around
Rs 1 crore.

In order to restore the academic and research atmosphere in the campus, a record number of 21 students were given financial assistance to go abroad and present their papers at the international seminars. There was a major support for the students to attend the national seminars within the country too.
For the teachers, the career advancement scheme, which was being thwarted for almost a decade, was revived and the rigorous process went on smooth.

“What turned out to be vital was restoring the confidence of the teachers, students and staff in the responsiveness of the administration and not bending to the whims and fancies of a couple of trouble makers,” said Prof. Sunaina Singh.
