Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday addressed the inaugural ceremony of ‘Goonj-2024’ a multi-genre mega festival hosted by University of Jammu.
While addressing the ceremony, Lt Governor said, “This event will provide a unique platform to the students to express their creativity, showcase their talents and engage in a dynamic learning environment.”
“In the 21st Century, ideas will be the new wealth of the nations. The role of a University and College Campus will expand further. They will no longer be seen as an academic institution. They will be known as the base to create young minds, who will change the world”, he said.
Sinha added, University campus should be known for collaboration and inspiring creativity for change makers. In order to make it work efficiently for the benefit of society, we must focus on relevant subjects, research and innovation to contribute in transformation of villages and towns.
“To make educational institutions relevant in the future, teachers should ignite the creativity within the students and make their consciousness pure, simple, easy and independent”, he said.
He said that Education should help the students to develop the consciousness full of courage and it should be future-oriented. The education should inspire on adventurous exploration and passion for generating new ideas, new research and innovations.
