JAMMU, Sept 5: The University of Jammu celebrated its 55th Foundation Day today, marked by a series of events highlighting the institution's growth and achievements.
The occasion was graced by Padma Shri Prof. Dinesh Singh, former Vice Chancellor of Delhi University and Vice Chairman, J&K Higher Education Council, as the Chief Guest, whereas Prof. Manoj Singh Gaur, Director of IIT Jammu, Prof. Bechan Lal, Vice Chancellor of Cluster University of Jammu, and Prof. Pragiti Kumar, Vice Chancellor of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University were the Guests of Honour.
In his address, Prof. Dinesh Singh reflected on the significance of such celebrations, emphasizing the need for introspection and continual improvement.
"JU is in my DNA," he remarked, describing the deep connection he feels with the university. He urged attendees to consider the purpose of Foundation Day, suggesting it offers a moment to pledge renewed dedication to the institution, state, and nation.
Prof. Singh also spoke about the evolving role of educators, stating, "A teacher should learn from his students and always strive for self-improvement, aiming to make a substantial change in society."
He lauded the leadership of JU's Vice Chancellor, Prof. Umesh Rai, for steering the University to new heights calling JU 'the new rising sun', particularly through initiatives like the "Design Your Degree" program, which he described as a pioneering effort for student empowerment.
Vice Chancellor Prof. Umesh Rai highlighted JU's remarkable achievements, including its rise in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF-2024), where it secured the 50th position among universities and 23rd among 11, 000 State Universities. He shared that the University's Business School earned recognition, ranking 18th in The Week's Government B-School category.
Prof. Rai introduced "Jammuriyat," a new term aimed at foregrounding the rich cultural diversity of the Jammu region. He asserted that the pluralistic nature of this region should necessarily be developed, fore-grounded, preserved and celebrated to ensure its addition to the national pluralism. He announced that the club consortium 'UTSAH' shall organize a series of activities around it.
On the infrastructure front, Prof. Umesh Rai announced the initiation of several significant projects, including the Innovation Tower, a new facility for the Department of Journalism & Mass Media, and the Madan Mohan Malaviya Teachers' Training Centre.
"Sustainability initiatives such as campus digitization, the introduction of e-vehicles, and the creation of vertical gardens from recycled materials are important initiatives of the University," said Prof Umesh Rai, adding that the University has launched "GYANANJALI Journal" for language scholars and the QR Code System in the Dhanwantri Library, which will enhance resource accessibility.
The inaugural issue of the 'Jammu University Times', a monthly e-newsletter published by the media cell of the University was released as highlight of the occasion. Prof. Rai shared that it will serve as an invaluable resource for JU fraternity and public about the University and provide internship opportunities to the students.
Prof. Bechan Lal, Vice Chancellor, Cluster University of Jammu, commended the University's achievements under Prof. Rai's leadership, particularly the institution's impressive performance in the NIRF rankings and its role in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP).
Prof. Manoj Gaur, Director IIT Jammu, highlighted JU's journey, saying these achievements are reminder of the glorious past. He praised the University's present NIRF ranking, attributing it to the dynamism of the Jammu University fraternity. Prof. Gaur further acknowledged JU's legacy of producing notable personalities.
Prof. Pragiti Kumar, Vice Chancellor of SMVDU, congratulated all stakeholders, recognizing their contributions to JU's success and offered unconditional support for the further implementation of the NEP.
