Strengthen UT’s edu system, L-G Sinha tells Kashmir varsity alumni

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday called upon the University of Kashmir alumni to come forward to strengthen the higher educational institutions of Jammu and Kashmir by using their expertise and network in various sectors.

Addressing the “Mega Alumni Meet-2025” at the university, Sinha said, “The alumni is not just a network of former students, but a group that is dedicated towards nation-building. Today, we are honoured to have among us the alumni who have truly made the nation proud. They are a living testament to the 77-year legacy of the university.”

The Lieutenant Governor extended his felicitations to the alumni and lauded the university for nurturing brilliant minds who had achieved tremendous accomplishments across various domains and were driving societal transformation worldwide.

“The tradition of selfless sharing is an integral part of our culture. I believe that in the era of globalisation, alumni connections are the most effective strategy for the growth of any institution and region. The University of Kashmir must create an institutional mechanism for the alumni, which will provide them with an opportunity to give back to the university,” he said.

Sinha emphasised the need for implementing the National Education Policy-2020 in educational institutions in letter and spirit to restore the past glory of India.

Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, Supreme Court judges Justice Surya Kant, Justice Vikram Nath, Justice PS Narasimha, Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Rajesh Bindal; High Court of J&K and Ladakh Chief Justice Arun Palli, Union Minister for Parliamentary & Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah were among those present.
