Ganderbal, Nov 01: The School of Social Sciences and the School of Business Studies together celebrated National Unity Day-2024 at varsity’s Green Campus.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr K. Lakshman, Head Deptt of Politics and Governance (DPG), highlighted the importance of National Unity Day and the significant contributions of the national leaders, particularly the influence of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in establishing the Union of India.
In his address, Prof Fayaz Ahmad Nikka, Dean Schools of Social Sciences urged the students to recognise and realise the importance of being united in their actions and behaviour.
“Divisions of caste, colour, religion and place of birth only teach us how to cooperate with one another,” he said.
Prof Nikka said India is known for unity in diversity, and the UT of Jammu and Kashmir has been the best example of mutual tolerance, harmony, and co-existence in view of high and rich cultural ethos.
Dr Khalid Waseem, Senior Assistant Prof DPG, proposed the vote of thanks by reiterating that the idea of unity should be established beyond nation and nationalism.
