Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar inaugurated the fourth edition of the World Universities Summit-2024 on Monday.

Need to reimagine varsities

Universities should be reimagined to realise social responsibility & community engagement. India’s ancient knowledge systems should be revived and the philosophy of sustainable practices and Sarva Mukti (freedom for all) should be the vision of education.— Subhas Sarkar, mos for Education

Hosted by the International Institute for Higher Education Research and Capacity Building at OP Jindal Global University, the summit commenced under the theme ‘Universities of the Future: A Global Partnership for Social Justice and Sustainable Development’.
