Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah visited IIT Jammu on Wednesday to attend the valedictory session of Summer School 2025, where he lauded the institution for its growing national reputation and local impact. He also encouraged visiting students to explore the beauty and culture of the Union Territory.

Speaking at the event, Abdullah said, “Finding myself in IIT Jammu makes me feel intimidated — it’s because of the talent here. This is the first time I’ve visited any IIT, and I’m happy it’s in Jammu and Kashmir.”

Accompanied by Advisor to the Chief Minister, Nasir Aslam Wani, Abdullah appreciated the scenic campus and compared it to the picturesque landscapes of Kashmir.

He said, “I was so eager to come here and I feel it’s such a beautiful campus that it is as beautiful as Kashmir.”

He addressed a common local concern that IITs may not directly benefit local youth due to the all-India competitive entrance system.

“I was in the Ministry of Commerce in the Government of India in the Vajpayee sahab government. I know Saraf sahab from that time. People here believe that IIT will not benefit local students, as it is an Indian competitive exam. However, what is important is that IIT is located in Jammu, which encourages students in Jammu and Kashmir. One third of this summer school are from J-K, I have come to know. We had a meeting where IIT Jammu and J-K Government can do tougher like Environment, incubation, Tourism, like behavioural sciences, ” Abdullah said.

Encouraging visiting students from across the country to stay longer and experience the region, he said, “May I request those who have come from all over India to spend a few more days in J&K? You can visit Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, go for the Amarnath Ji Yatra, enjoy a shikara ride in Dal Lake, or a trip to Gulmarg. It’s good you all are here.” (ANI)
