From the Desk of the Director …

Dear students,
It gives me a great pleasure to provide you guidelines about the Project Report to be
submitted for your participation in annual extension work activities and partial fulfillment to
avail the benefit of additional 10 grace marks in your final examination.
The Department of Lifelong Learning & Extension (DLLE) is established on October
12, 1978 and had been recognized as a Statutory Department of the University of Mumbai
since 1994 to promote a meaningful and sustained rapport between the Universities and the
community. Now it is recognized as one of the Teaching Department of University of Mumbai.
The Department acts as a focal agency in the University system for all Lifelong Learning
Six Extension Work programmes and to provide academic and technical resource support for
community based activities in collaboration with Universities, departments and colleges. The
Department serves as an intellectual intervention in the community’s living problems which
need to overcome through an educational process. It helps to deepen the teachers’ & students’
knowledge through a wider exposure to real life situations through a variety of programs.
In addition to our other teaching responsibilities, the Department committed to conduct
community oriented activities to reach to unreached sections of the society. To facilitate the
sensitization of the student to the socio-cultural realities, the Department offers for the student,
extension work projects encompassing social issues to develop a sense of responsibility
towards society. These programs will help you to face life and its challenges with greater social
commitment and thus create an ambience for a learning society. This will also enhance your
employability skills & develop positive attitude towards community development work.
Hence, we anticipate investing your one hundred and twenty hours in one academic year
for the welfare of the society through various activities involved in extension work. I am sure
the qualities like Time Management, Decision-making, Interpersonal Relations, Leadership,
Self-Confidence, Communication and Group Discussion Skills will be developed by your
participation in these activities which are very much useful to become good citizen of India.
Here, I expect you to submit the brief record of hard work carried out by you to reach to
unreached sections of the society. Please submit your observations, views and offer your
constructive suggestions for our improvement.
Thanks to all,
Sincerely yours,

Dr. Kunal D. Jadhav

Professor & Director (I/c.)
