An Honor to Embrace the Role of Pro Vice-Chancellor at Chandigarh University
It is with a profound sense of honor and reverence that I find myself presented with the remarkable opportunity to join Chandigarh University as Pro Vice-Chancellor. I hold a fervent aspiration to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of this esteemed institution.
In the dynamic landscape of global education, attempting to encapsulate the manifold changes in a few sentences seems almost unjust. The intricate tapestry of active learning platforms for young and aspiring minds stands out as a highly effective means of disseminating knowledge in a world teeming with a wealth of information.
The majority of Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) in India have embraced this paradigm shift and are making substantial strides by introducing innovative approaches and solutions that elevate the education sector not only within India but on the global stage as well. As per the NEP 2020, the National target of achieving a Gross Enrolment Ratio of 50 percent in HEIs by 2030 has magnified the scope and responsibility of HEIs, ushering in an era of upward growth.
Chandigarh University embodies the ethos of "to discover, learn, and empower." Rooted in a foundation of adaptability, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary orientation across all programs, students are exposed to an unparalleled quality of education. What's more, an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere has been a driving force in attracting students from over 40 nations and counting.
In alignment with CU's visionary outlook, my focal point lies in empowering both students and educators with the essential resources and foundations to uphold Chandigarh University's distinction as Asia's premier and fastest-growing institution. At Chandigarh University, our commitment extends to implementing cutting-edge educational policies and programs through collaborations with the Ministry of Education and numerous national and international organizations spearheading the ed-tech revolution of the contemporary world.
