Chandigarh, June 16

The Vice-Chancellor of Panjab University, Prof Raj Kumar, addressed more than 100 assistant professors of the university at a virtual meeting. He stressed the faculty was the pillars of the university which played a great role in the enhancement of perception.

“The need of the hour for the university is to bring in a professional attitude by changing the mindset and involving more corporate perspective into teaching. Creation of a niche for PU not only at the national level but also at the international level, giving research orientation to students right from the beginning of their career are some important points to follow. It is important for the faculty to tap the potential of the students,” said the VC.

He also urged the faculty to take multi-disciplinary projects and focus on patents and citations. He said a nodal officer had been appointed by PU for the filing of patents. They were also asked to explore collaborations with a focus on commercial deliverables.
