The Lt Governor called upon all stakeholders to focus on actualizing human potential in service of the society. He emphasised the need for assessing the values of each course of higher education to ensure they meet the expectation of students and employers.

“One of the objectives of higher education is to prepare future leaders. Under Higher Education Council, we will do honest assessment of effectiveness of subjects and whether return on investment by Universities is satisfactory,” the Lt Governor said.

The meeting discussed the important matters pertaining to status of NEP 2020 implementation across J&K Universities, updates, sustainability, and expansion roadmap for the Design Your Degree (DYD) Program, initiatives to promote entrepreneurship, start-ups, and tangible skill Programs and proposals for new joint programs and initiatives for 2024-25.

Prof. Dinesh Singh, Vice Chairman, JKHEC called for putting a special focus on grasping the spirit of Design Your Degree program in the larger context of National Education Policy. As an educational institution, we must recognize our strength and weakness and empower the students to take the lead in redefining classroom learning, he said.
