Passion! One has to really love what one does. For men and women, science is demanding and there are many, many dark periods and low periods. Keep researching and never give up!"

“My deep-rooted association with Vishwakarma University, Pune (VU) from the day of its conceptualisation to date, fills me with immense delight as the VU surges ahead in its trajectory of committed cohesive growth. In a short span of three years, the management, young faculty, staff and students of the University have demonstrated their sense of purpose and self-belief. With its eyes set firmly on the envisioned targets, the entire VU family has been able to dexterously draw upon the global human resource development knowledge bank and selectively weave the positives into its programmes, thereby providing “green learning pastures” for students of today and tomorrow. It is imperative for VU to continually explore opportunities beyond the horizon and take measured steps to establish itself as one of the most preferred institutions of learning for generations to come.”

The Societal requirement of education in an inclusive yet forward-looking manner is met by crafting the educational system tailored to suit such needs. The collaborative approach of VU is a welcome step for understanding the company as well as enterprise needs. The student exposure to real-life challenges under the spotlight of creating something different is well adopted at VU. I am sure, the VU culture will be a breeding ground for new generation entrepreneurs and ideas. I wish the university best wishes”.

“I feel very happy and proud to collaborate with Vishwakarma University in association with Lakshminarayana Global Centre of Excellence to offer higher education in music with a global approach. Kavita & I feel privileged to be the founders, mentors and knowledge partners of the B.A.Hons, M.A & Ph.D in a music degree program at VU. This is a unique global music degree program where students focus on learning different streams like Hindustani music, Carnatic music, Percussion and Western music as classical art forms while getting exposed to subjects like sound engineering, digital marketing, event management, global music etc which leads to many opportunities for the students in the music industry. This degree program has been designed by us as specialized music education, with a vision to combine the best of the traditional Gurukul system of learning music with the modern college education system so the students can undergo rigorous training to become great musicians if they work hard passionately in that direction and also find opportunities to establish themselves as professionals in the field of music.”
