Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday urged youngsters to take advantage of today’s dynamic, competitive environment and knowledge platforms in setting new goals in life.
Addressing the Medhavi Chhatra Samman Samaroh organised by Amar Ujala Group at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Science and Technology (SKUAST) Kashmir, here, the Lt governor felicitated the meritorious students of classes 10 and 12 from JKBOSE and extended them best wishes for a bright future.
He also congratulated the girl students for outshining the boys in the award tally.
As a youth of this great nation, the students should contribute towards realising the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, he added.
“I strongly believe the goal of education is not limited to number and ranking. It is also about creating better human beings and future leaders, who will bridge the gaps between education sector and the needs of the globalised economy,” the Lt Governor said.
The Lt Governor emphasised the role of the School Education Department, educational institutions, and teaching community in imparting life skills among the students and promoting learning beyond the classroom.
“Our focus should also be on lifelong learning skills, creativity, curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking. This will help the talented youth to develop valuable and special skills, which will enable them to effectively tackle future challenges,” he said. UNI
