The revolution in information technology has transformed the world making it a global village. We can no more live in isolation, even if we desire so. We have to shoulder our responsibilities at national and international level to play a leading role that commensurate with our status as citizens of a sovereign state.

To this end, we have to develop high standards on ethical, social, economic and scientific fronts. Such developments do not take place spontaneously; these demand efficiency, discipline and respect for others both at individual and national level. We cannot safeguard ourselves from the clutches of social evils which are corroding the very fabric of our society unless we change our social conduct and attitudes. For this, we have to emulate the essence of the teachings of our benefactors rather than merely practicing rituals and traditions in our mundane and spiritual interactions.

The university being the highest seat of learning must play its role to produce not only skilled workforce for the government machinery but also humane and sublime leadership capable of moulding the destiny of the nation.

In the end I pray to the Almighty to give us the strength and farsightedness to work whole heartedly for turning this university into a world class institution, a dream that we all cherish! God bless!
