The Lt Governor impressed on time-bound completion of various academic and research programmes and award of degrees to the students.

The Lt Governor called for enhanced research activities on local problems and issues by the University. Enhanced research activities will provide solutions to local problems and it will create comprehensive knowledge wealth that will be the key factor in all-round development.  He said many industries are coming up in J&K and there is a need to put special focus on skill development and capacity building.

“The University should build a strong eco-system for nurturing innovation and start-ups and the government will provide all the required assistance,” the Lt Governor said.

The University Council approved the proposal related to introduction of several new courses at the main and satellite campuses of the University to cater to the growing needs of the students.
