..................MESSAGE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR....................
The university is the citadel of learning and center of excellence. At the cost repeating the obvious, let me reemphasize that education has remained and will continue to remain the prime mobilizing force in human civilisational process. Eventually growth of knowledge and creative potential is the prime mover of social prosperity . The education is not a means to an end but the end in itself. Education promotes human development and adds to the treasure of social capital . It liberates the mind and helps in discovering the self and realizing the value of one’s birth and one’s social responsibility. It makes the man self disciplined, sensitive, matured, fearless and assertive. It makes the man humble and simple with out being timid and weak. It continuously refines the individual thinking for social capital formation. Teaching is more than a noble profession for those teachers who love their discipline as a passion. Let greater number of such teachers instill us to add life to years but not years to life. Good teacher explains and best teacher completes the course and clears all doubts of the student in the class room. But a great teacher ,like a mother, is an institution who ignites, inspires ,motivates and generates an appetite for learning. He teaches us that soul of education is the education of the soul. Let us be educated for making a good life which automatically ensures a good living or career. There is no short cut to real success which is the transcendental position of prevaricating the fear of failure in life. Leading a life means living a dream. One’s dream must be internalized in the entire life journey. Then the success lies in journey itself not in the destination. School education removes illiteracy from the society but higher education provides the competent leadership for building a ‘knowledge society’. Higher education provides a well developed human resource which spearheads the inclusive process of social transformation and sustains the social prosperity. It is
the true driver of real prosperity because it has greater social responsibility. So it is highly imperative to make the educational system more socially relevant. Let us break the ongoing process of insensitivity and insularity of the elite class and reverse the present trend of deprivation, discrimination, disparity, dualism, urbanism, and marketism. I firmly believe that healthy society is a precondition for healthy economy but not vice verse. “A healthy economy can not sustain on unhealthy society”. Development does mean merely economic development and economic development does not necessarily mean hyper urbanism, vulgar consumerism or sordid computerization. Our higher educational system should not veer with the vagaries of global job market. We have to adapt to rapid changes happening in the global educational system because ‘change is the only constant for progress’. We have to make our university progressive and resilient enough only with high inclusivity, high commitment and high quality. |

Our Fakir Mohan University is very young but an unique temple of knowledge. It is known for its vision and future possibilities. It is expected to contribute significantly to the social capital of India. We have to promote the universal character of our university with out sacrificing the social specificities and imperatives. In order to attain steady development all facets of our university need to be regulated at macro level , meso level and micro level . Thus we have to undertake inward looking measures and out ward looking activities for enhancing the academic visibility and social relevance. Our university is strategically located in eastern part of India which is culturally very rich and socially very advanced. My university has very good faculty , market relevant courses and many other advantages. It is now poised for steady development if not speedy development .
My university is heralded with a great future. It aims at promoting multidisciplinary teaching and research for building a knowledge society . I am very hopeful that the untiring effort of the faculty members , commitment of supporting staff and enthusiasm of our bright students shall catapult the university to new heights. As the Vice-Chancellor, more as the leader of my academic team I am fully and firmly committed towards achieving excellence in teaching and research, because teaching and research are complementary for any university. It is a great challenging opportunity for me. With my wide international exposure and insight derived from my grass root-level experience I am attempting to set up a role model of academic leadership for achieving academic excellence here by adopting a faculty-driven student-centric approach. I firmly believe that modern buildings and computers do not teach or do research. But self-motivated teachers and passionate scholars are the drivers of the educational system. I am sincerely trying to create vibrating academic atmosphere by motivating all individuals of my university, open new departments and rejuvenate existing departmentsto be shining as outstanding center of excellence. Future of my university is surfeited with eventful possibilities. Really my university has great potential to achieve higher reputation in the educational map of India. I expect full support from higher authorities in this great endeavour .Thus I implore all stake holders of the university to cooperate and contribute in their own way to this noble mission. |
