Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has introduced a new mobile app, ‘Namaste BHU,’ designed to serve its community of over 40,000 members. Launched under the guidance of Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sudhir Kumar Jain, the app aims to enhance digital connectivity and make university services and information more accessible and user-friendly. Prof. Jain emphasized that this initiative is a major step toward improving the campus experience for both students and faculty.
The app, which is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store, provides a range of services. Users can access comprehensive information about faculties, departments, and study programs, as well as a university directory with contact details of key officials, teachers, and staff. The app also offers the ability to search for books, journals, and e-resources, saving users valuable time. Additionally, students can use the app to file grievances related to admissions, fees, exams, and other issues. Hostel wardens can also report complaints through the app, and emergency contact numbers for both the university and local administration are readily available.
Prof. Sanjay Kumar, Coordinator of the Institution of Eminence at BHU, stated that the app is a significant advancement in providing easy access to essential university information, including academic details, library resources, holidays, and emergency contacts. He noted that a dedicated team is continually working on updates to further improve the app.
Mr. T. V. Prabhakaran, the consultant leading the Namaste BHU app team, shared that additional features, such as student counseling services and notifications for important updates, will be integrated into the app soon.
Students and staff with registered mobile numbers can create an account and start using the app. BHU stands among a select few higher educational institutions to implement such an initiative, enhancing internal communication and access to vital information and services.
