JAMMU, Sept 8: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha delivered the keynote address at Foundation Day ceremony of University of Jammu, today.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor called upon Jammu University to leverage innovation and cutting-edge technology for conservation, integrating sustainability in education and preparing students to address emerging challenges to build Viksit Bharat.
“Our youth must drive development that meets societal needs without compromising ecosystems and optimize the use of resources through modern innovation. We need to adopt a multi-dimensional approach to make the earth better for the future generations,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor urged the faculty members to guide and lead youth in their responsibility to balance nature with development. It is our shared responsibility to protect Mother Earth and promote the culture of environmental awareness at all levels of society, he added.
Extending his heartiest congratulation to the Vice Chancellor, faculty members, non-teaching staff and students on University’s foundation day celebration, the Lieutenant Governor urged to set new and challenging goals and pursue them with a renewed sense of zeal and enthusiasm.
“Today’s occasion is also an opportunity for self-analysis, self-exploration, and self-introspection. I am proud of the exceptional accomplishments of our universities in the recently released NIRF-2025 Rankings. While on one hand these rankings should be seen as a revolution, a transformation in the higher education landscape of Jammu Kashmir, on the other, we should critically evaluate our rankings and go back to the drawing board to set new goals,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He observed that the process of change in the campus should continue uninterrupted so that the students remain determined, eager to learn and do something new and have the passion to face the future challenges.
