KATRA, Aug 30: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today attended the 39th Foundation Day celebration of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board at Matrika Auditorium of SMVD University. The momentous occasion also marked the 14th annual day of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Gurukul.
Addressing the gathering, the Lt Governor congratulated all the Members, officials and everyone associated with Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and SMVD Gurukul on their achievements and contribution to inclusive development of Jammu Kashmir.
The Lt Governor, who is the Chairman of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, highlighted the measures taken by the Board for hassle-free pilgrimage and to enhance the spiritual experience of devotees.
Speaking on the need for change in the education sector, the Lt Governor said that moral values and scientific thinking is essential for an enriched knowledge system.

“Curiosity is the basis of lifelong learning and to address the future challenges. Character Building is vital to build the nation,” the Lt Governor said.
He lauded the efforts of Gurukul in creating a fine balance between pragmatic curriculum which is responsive to the needs of the modern world and spiritual upliftment through Vedic education.
“The learning traditions of ancient India had emphasised on education to develop the complete personality of students so they can become more creative.
