Share resources for quality education and research – Governor
The Second Annual Colloquium on the theme of “Sharing Resources and the Best Practices for Quality Higher Education and Research” was organized at Central University of Haryana, Mahendergarh. Shri Satyadeo Narain Arya, Hon’ble Governor, Haryana was the chief guest to inaugurate the colloquium. Addressing the academic leaders, he said that only quality education and research can tap the energy of the youth in most appropriate way. Academicians across the world are aware of this fact and governments are promoting research and innovation in higher education policies. India was the ‘Vishwa Guru’ in ancient times, and centres of higher education such as Kashi, Takshshila, Nalanda, Prayag, Mithila etc. were beacons for scholars and learners. This was the time when the students were educated according to their interests and developed their personalities, but Lord Macaulay’s English education system changed that completely. It is demand of the hour to change the education system as a whole. It can be got done with the help of information technology, online facilities, skill development and research innovations. Hon’ble Governor also announced a grant of Rs 11 lakh to Central University of Haryana. On this occasion, the Education Minister, Haryana, Prof. Ram Bilas Sharma was present as a special guest who exhorted the academic leaders of the state to be the part of collaborative exercise.
