Dear Readers,
This week the University of Rajasthan witnessed its 68th Foundation Day celebrations which happens to be on January 8th. The ceremony was one hell of an event and we all (the newly recruited academicians) were left spell bound. Meira Kumar, the Honorable Speaker of the Lok Sabha was the chief guest and the Governor, H.E. Margaret Alva presided over the function. Kudos to our beloved and revered VC for pulling off such a spectacular and concerted event.
One part of the celebrations included inauguration of a photo exhibition displaying rare footage of the glorious yester-years of this institution. It was awe-inspiring to know about diligent fomer VC's, Principals, Professors and the like who devoted a life time in shaping up and building this great institution. Also, the galaxy of personalities who were associated with the University at one point of time or other gave us a glimpse into the rich past. The list includes C. Rajagopalachari, Maharaja Man Singh II, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Mohunlal Sukhadia, Maharana Bhupal Singh of Mewar, Maharani Gayatri Devi, Indira Gandhi, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and many more.
At the end of it all, a sense of duty and commitment also struck me. It is an uncontested fact that the University is going through a rough patch and a lot needs to be done to drag it out from the murky slush that it has fell into. To begin with, the only focus area is quality teaching. I believe that by imparting consistent and quality lessons, we would be able to groom our students who are the key to the future......
