Message by the President
In a constantly changing world, the benefits of education are amongst the only few constants. Education is envisioned as a transformative journey - a journey of inquiry, learning, and maximizing the human potential that is bound to have positive implications for the world’s most pressing problems. True education leaves its imprints on the students’ souls long after they complete their formal education. In a shrinking global world, the pursuit of academic excellence needs to be blended with cosmopolitan and global values while keeping the moral, spiritual, and ethical essence and ethos of the Indian education system alive.
Message by the Vice President
Quality education is not a matter of chance. Rather it is carefully planned and consciously cultivated. It can turn into a reality when a University establishes Centers of Excellence and envisions them as a space to promote quality conversations and interactions between communities of scholars, thinkers, and leaders. In its truest sense, education is an ecosystem that helps students follow their natural curiosity and unravel their own unique career paths. Education should give wings to their ideas and embolden them to start independent successful ventures. This incubation can only happen if students are exposed to programs that are research-intensive, and underpinned by cutting edge innovation as well as social relevance.
Message by the Vice-Chancellor
India is at a juncture where a large population is making inroads into higher education every year. Since public institutions are few, private institutions have stepped in to serve the need. These institutions have to rise to the challenge of bridging the gap between academia and industry. To do so, it is essential we create a vibrant and enriching teaching-learning culture that inspires innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditional pedagogies need to be reassessed to facilitate a more interactive and trans-disciplinary learning experience.
