Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha delivered an eloquent discourse at the commemorative gathering in Jagatpur, Varanasi. He underscored the unwavering commitment of forebears like Babu Shivnath Singh to the nation’s advancement, emphasising that institutions founded by such visionaries actively contribute to this noble cause. Under the sagacious guidance of the Lieutenant Governor, the educational landscape in Jammu and Kashmir has undergone a comprehensive metamorphosis. The laudable endeavours undertaken by the authorities to achieve 100% student enrollment merit sincere commendation. The LG astutely underscored the invaluable sacrifices made by freedom fighters, whose indomitable spirit laid the foundation for schools and colleges.
The temporal evolution in Jammu and Kashmir is striking, epitomized by the pioneering initiative of the “College on Wheels,” designed to inclusively accommodate every aspiring student. Education, according to the LG, transcends the mere acquisition of employment; rather, it catalyzes the transformation of mindsets and social interactions among students. A special emphasis has been placed on the youth of nomadic communities, with provisions such as hostels and comprehensive financial support for their educational pursuits. The educational framework in Jammu and Kashmir is dynamically adapting to contemporary demands, contemplating the introduction of targeted subjects aligned with industry requisites to enhance employment prospects for students. Notably, skill development has emerged as the sine qua non in Jammu and Kashmir’s educational landscape in recent years. Against the backdrop of burgeoning tourist seasons, the youth are being equipped with specialised skill sets tailored to excel in the tourism industry. Thousands of students have reaped the benefits, subsequently contributing substantively to the Union Territory’s economy. The strategic emphasis is unequivocally directed towards skills pertinent to local exigencies. Ongoing efforts are earnestly focused on further refining the educational apparatus by assimilating feedback from the student community. Initiatives are underway to optimize staffing in accordance with specific needs. The cumulative impact of these assiduous efforts is poised to catapult the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir into the echelons of an esteemed educational hub.
