At this crucial juncture, as DHSK College, now autonomous, is transitioning from affiliation to self governance, the fraternity is poised on the threshold of great possibilities and greater challenges. While the potential for excellence of our institution is undeniable, the path is problem-ridden and strewn with hurdles. The foremost objective now is to lead the institution from strength to excellence—in academics, research, sports, culture—in every aspect, both curricular and extra- curricular. Assuming a leadership role at such a period of transition and change is both daunting yet stimulating. As an alumnus of this institution and a serving Faculty of Economics since 1992, I have witnessed the highs and lows of my alma mater and have been a part of its evolution. It is time to take the next steps to consolidate the milestones hitherto created and to forge ahead towards new prospects and goals.
The primary focus of an educational institution is the fostering of an academic environment that encourages it’s students to think critically and innovatively as well as acquire knowledge and skills in tandem with their aptitudes and interest. The adaptation and implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 in the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula along with newly emerging administrative and academic technologies have revolutionized the theories and operative dynamics of Higher Education. Further, the revival of the Indian Knowledge Systems has opened up a vista of new possibilities in terms of multi and interdisciplinary subject engagements and novel avenues of research and career options.
This is the moment to seize, to make the most of! We must believe that the present is the best, most opportune, the most creative, the shaping force of the future. I consider myself fortunate to have been given the privilege and opportunity to be at the helm of affairs at such a moment of change and growth of my alma mater, to be a part of its historic journey in the march forward to achieve the status of DHSK University. My solemn and heartfelt endeavours shall be directed in the interest of the college and it’s fraternity, especially the students—the future architects of our nation.
