Department insights

History

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University started the Department of Printing Technology & Graphic Arts in September, 2009. The then Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Dr. Nagnath Kottapalle was in support of promoting professional education to generate employability for the students and youngsters in the Marathwada Region. The basic idea behind starting this new department was to create employability in the fast-spreading printing, packaging, and graphics field. Still, in India, there is a small number of qualified technocrats working in the printing and packaging field. So, there is a huge manpower need to be filled in this sector, which is properly educated, trained, and motivated to make a career in it.

The department inauguration function was graced by the Police Commissioner Mr. Shrikat Savarkar, Director of BCUD Dr. A.G. Khan, Management Council member Mr. Bhausaheb Rajale, and Head of the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication Dr. Sudhir Gavhane on 19th September, 2009. Many printers and students were present for this function from the city and nearby areas.

The printing qualified technocrats can join Publishing houses under central and state governments, Printing Presses under central and state governments, Commercial printing presses doing Offset, Packaging printing processes such as Flexography, Gravure, and Screen printing, Publishing houses in the private sector, Pre-press solutions for the printing industry, Designing and digital printing, Security printing, Software solutions for the print industry, Electronic publishing, Color management solutions, Packaging, Print finishing and converting, Machine manufacturing/service, Marketing/management executive, Research and development, and Total quality control, etc.

The department conducts many common workshops and seminars with the Aurangabad Mudrak Sangh (AMS) to share and spread new technologies to the students and printers affiliated with the Aurangabad Mudrak Sangh (AMS). The Department and AMS actively co-conduct the activities to boost every stakeholder in the field. Presently, Mr. Parag Hase is working as Assistant Professor and Head of the Department of Printing Technology & Graphic Arts.
