 PREFACE

Friends, it is indeed with great pleasure that we are placing the material
for B.C. A. in your hands.

It is well known that Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth was established in

1921 with the aim of imparting national education. The Vidyapeeth was known
at the national and international level for its contribution to the fields of Sanskrit
and Ayurveda. After Independence, sensing the need of time a variety of courses
were introduced. The Vidyapeeth has done remarkable work in the field of
Social Sciences and Distance Education. After receiving the status of a
‘Deemed University’ in 1987, its horizon is further widening.

The concept of national education propounded by Lokmanya Tilak

implies that type of education which would enable a student to make
contribution to the development of our nation. With the inspiration of Hon.
Vice – Chancellor Dr. Deepak Tilak, the program of B.C A. was launched in
the year 2001. It aims at providing education in computer applications to a
cross-section of our society and enable them to participate more efficiently in
the process of national development.

The B.C.A. programme has been designed particularly to introduce

basics in the first semester. This will enable students to cope with little-
advanced topics in the following semester. A couple of management subjects
have also been included in the curriculum to equip them with managerial
abilities. Special efforts are taken on grooming the students in soft skills, with
the purpose of nurturing them to emerge as a valuable asset in the professional
world.

We take this opportunity to express our gratitude towards

Hon. Vice - Chancellor, Dr. Deepak Tilak and Registrar, Dr. Umesh Keskar
for all the guidance and support that is always provided to us. We are sure
that with their encouragement we will be able to reach many more milestones
in the future.

We are thankful to Mr. Ganesh Channa and Ms. Minal Kalamkar for
their co-operation in SIM Preparation.

We wish all the best to you for your future.
