This university aims at providing affordable quality education to youth to develop their scholarly and professional skills, to make them fully competent in their chosen professions. It tends to accomplish status of quality research-intensive university addressing regional and national needs and to have integration with other teaching and research institutions. A change is needed in the mind-set of the teachers, employees and students for promoting better academic ambience with better work culture. The university is committed to inculcate and nurture a culture of performance. Dedicated faculty and staff can shape up the new generation of students. Commitment, dedication, diligence, devotion to duty with deep sense of human values should serve as ethos of the university. The governance structure of the university needs to be more democratic and efficient in functioning. It needs to be managed with a high level of professionalism, competence, transparency and quality assurance.

The university intends to achieve excellence in higher education by offering most relevant, up-to-date programme of studies considering the needs of present and future developments and nation building. Course curriculum has to be regularly revised and updated considering local, national and international needs and incorporating latest developments in the area. Teaching in interdisciplinary areas needs to be promoted by introduction of fully evolved semester system based on comprehensive continuous internal assessment. In addition to conducting research in fundamental disciplines of humanities, science, social science, law, commerce, management, etc. researches of high order are to be more focused in frontier/interfacial/ cutting edge areas. To serve as centre for creation of knowledge a lot of premium is be placed on research in this university.  To improve quality of research faculty members must have regular Projects from national and international funding agencies. Enhanced number of quality publications in well referred journals should serve as criteria of research excellence. The university intends to benchmark each of its activities with the best universities of the country. Working conditions, work ethics, work culture and services should promote welfare of all stakeholders - the students, faculty and the staff.

Meetings of the statutory bodies like Senate, Syndicate, Academic Council are regularly held. An Implementation Cell has been constituted to monitor regular progress of university developmental activities and to monitor implementation of decisions taken at various levels.

Attempts are underway for examination reforms for timely publication of results. To have high international standing in the academic world and to arm the students with the latest technological know-how, measures are underway to keep library updated with the latest e-resources. Under the e-governance initiative, it is intended that in future all administrative and financial operations and records would be maintained electronically.
