JAMMU, SEPTEMBER 17: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today presided over the closing ceremony of the year-long Golden Jubilee celebrations of the University of Jammu.
On the occasion, he inaugurated 11 infrastructure projects worth Rs 43.91 crores at Main Campus & offsite campuses in Ramnagar, Reasi, and Kathua.
Speaking on the occasion, the Lt Governor lauded the University administration for achieving A+ grade in the recent NAAC report, besides congratulating the students, faculty members, and Vice Chancellor for the newly inaugurated infrastructure projects.
Laying stress on the dynamics of contemporary education ecosystem, the Lt Governor said that Universities and colleges can no longer afford to produce ordinary students.
Teachers will have to continuously evolve new mechanisms to enrich the syllabus and students will have to learn things beyond the prescribed curriculum. “The key driving force for the future is knowledge. The rate at which we can adapt new educational methods, new research programmes is increasing.
The speed of scientific and technological innovations requires much faster, swifter adaptability from both- the teachers as well as students”, the Lt Governor asserted.
It is important to remember that Universities and Colleges have immense power and a small shift in curriculum can have a decisive impact on socio-economic environment, he added.
