Lt-Governor (L-G) of Jammu and Kashmir, Girish Chandra Murmu today said the higher education institutions must introspect to bring reforms in their curriculum to enable graduates to acquire competencies required by employers or the skills required to be self-employed.

The L-G said it was the duty of the universities to ensure job-oriented higher education to the students to make them future ready and called for paradigm shift from theoretical education to job-oriented higher education.

Murmu was speaking after inaugurating the North Zone Vice-Chancellors’ Meet-2019-20 organised by Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU) under the auspices of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) at SMVDU, Kakryal, here.

The L-G, who is the Chancellor of the SMVDU, outlined that the overall aim should be to improve universities through discussion to improve the quality of higher education and research.

He hoped that meetings like this would create a dialogue among the stakeholders which would be helpful not only for increasing employability, but also in achieving the goal of $5 trillion economy for India.

He congratulated Prof Ravinder Kumar Sinha, Vice-Chancellor, SMVD University, and Dr Pankaj Mittal, secretary general, AIU, for organising the meet on the important theme ‘Developing employability and entrepreneurship as cornerstones in higher education’.
