In today's world, globalization is rapidly increasing, bringing with it expanded personal mobility; access to knowledge across borders; increased demand for higher education; growing worldwide investment; and increased need for continuing education. The twenty-first century undoubtedly belongs to the men and women of strength and excellence in professional fields.
I staunchly believe that freedom of individual development is the basis of democracy. Intellectual progress demands the maintenance of the spirit of free inquiry. The pursuit and practice of truth, regardless of consequences, should be the only ambition of universities. All education is expected to be liberal. Education, one of the human resource development strategies, is a powerful tool for peaceful social transformation and for the overall development and prosperity of any nation. It should be free from the shackles of ignorance, prejudice, and unfounded belief. Education is an important index of human development.
Higher education is indeed a vital tool for intellectual, cultural, and aesthetic development and a means for achieving wider social aspirations. The responsibility of universities in the context of the changing scenario is not only confined to imparting education but also to forecasting the future needs of the economy. The National Knowledge Commission has also stressed that there is an urgent need for massive expansion in the field of higher education because the proportion of our population in the relevant age group that enters the world of higher education is about 7% only, while in developed countries it is up to 85%. At the same time, it is important to raise the quality of higher education. Keeping in view contemporary needs, higher education should also be accessible to one and all. Education is the fundamental mechanism for social inclusion, growth through the creation of more opportunities.
We at Singhania University are committed to achieving these objectives by making it an example of excellence comparable to the best in the world. To make higher education accessible to poor people, we are initiating novel schemes of scholarships for meritorious students and loan facilities.
Deeply inspired by my mother to contribute towards the progress and prosperity of the coming generations, Singhania University, Pacheri Bari, has been established to nurture and cultivate young minds in the pursuit of knowledge. Committed to excellence, we seek to educate our students to be responsible, forward-looking, and creative citizens of the world. They should start earning while learning, and soon after completing their studies, they should be able to employ themselves gainfully either as self-employed individuals or be well-equipped and trained to gain employment globally. The curriculum and practical training on campus, therefore, always keep in view the emerging global opportunities in business and employment. Shortly, when the service sector is also opened up by the WTO, movements of service providers from one country to another shall become almost free. Due to negative population growth in developed countries, the demand for educated professionals is increasing day by day, and our goal is to provide such education as may suit emerging employment opportunities globally. We, being a University Campus, have the freedom to design our courses and practical training in a way that would enable the students to get gainfully employed not only in India but globally.
The University offers a unique academic environment of continuous influence and interaction considered essential for enriching mind and body with the maximum speed and minimum cost. The enthusiastic efforts of the students, dedication of the faculty, and active cooperation of the parents are making our movement towards excellence and innovation smooth and speedy. The University shall always endeavour to emerge as an excellent launching ground for success, helping students to reach the pinnacle of glory in the rapidly developing world. Our goal is to make our students global citizens upon completion of their higher education capable of establishing themselves in any part of the world to lead a happy and prosperous life.
May God be with us in all our endeavours.
Warm regards,
DC Singhania, Singhania University
