Prof. Ashok Gulati said that the
purpose of education is not only to equip the younger generation with knowledge
and skills to earn a decent livelihood, but also empower them with a value
system so that they can contribute to the larger cause of humanity, and create
a world that is better than they inherited. In doing so, you will obviously
face several challenges in life, and that’s the time your real education will
be put to test. One of the big
challenges that India faces is how to feed a large and growing population of
1.2 billion,. The challenge is not only to produce ample and nutritious food,
but also making it available to people at affordable prices.
In his presidential address Vice-Chancellor of the University Prof Peeush Ranjan
Agarwal told that we should focus on reforms in the quality of higher education.
In the post independence era, politicians and policy makers of the country gave
serious thought to higher education system, syllabus, and structure of universities.
Central and Government educational institute and universities of international
standard were established. It is the responsibility of the teachers that they
should upgrade their teaching methods incorporating new ideas to make subject
interesting for students interest and in accordance with their intellectual
capability.
Quality of education, infrastructure facilities, up
gradation of syllabus, collaboration between researchers and industries,
collaboration with country’s reputed scientific research organizations, up
gradation of laboratories, use of modern technology equipments, availability of
standard journal and books in libraries and the use of information and
communication technology can help us in meeting the challenges of modern time.
Prof Dharni Dhar Dubey in his welcome speech said that
the invention of internet and expansion of mass media has integrated the local
community with the entire world. Today goods, services, information, money,
individuals and knowledge can be instantly exchanged across continents. An University
is recognized by its size and quality. As per the demand of time, University
will have to respond to the parameters of quality, for which all the bodies of
the University have to innovate higher standards of academic excellence.
In the Convocation function Registrar VK Sinha,
