At the very onset, I am prompted to use Dr. Martin Luther King’s quotation:
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”
I welcome all the students who have chosen to be a part of Motherhood University, Roorkee. I am honoured to have been selected as the first Vice-Chancellor to serve Motherhood University, and it is with pride and excitement that I join the University.
Regarding the goals of the University, we aim to excel as the premier university for all classes in this northern region. The University emphasizes quality teaching, scholarship, research, and the lifelong engagement of its students and alumni to contribute to society at large.
In addition to fostering fertile minds for professional and personal success, we are committed to creating responsible citizens who are the epitome of the highest ethics and social conduct. Thus, the responsibility lies with us to nurture complete professionals. I can proudly state that we are fully motivated to handle this challenge and will surely be successful.
Our challenge is to help generate ideas that will benefit society and to educate and train people to work in fields where they will be valued both for their specialized knowledge and for their ability to research, communicate, and solve problems.
I am sure that the students will feel proud to be associated with us and will make us equally proud with their academic excellence.
