J&K youth are at the forefront of constructive change: Sinha
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday noted that he is seeing that the youth of J&K are at the forefront of a constructive change and said he has always appreciated the commitment of the young people infused with energy and innovation.
L-G Sinha was addressing the annual day function of KC International School, Jammu, at General Zorawar Singh Auditorium. The Lieutenant Governor congratulated the management, teachers and students of the school and extended his best wishes.
Addressing the students, the Lieutenant Governor said, “Dream Big! Believe in yourself and work hard with focus and persistence to fulfil your dream.”
“I have always admired the energy, innovation, and commitment of young people and I am witnessing our youth are at the forefront of change,” Sinha said.
He said the youth want a fear-free, corruption-free and development-oriented modern society. However, some forces are still active within and trying to destabilise the country. “Youth and the entire society will have to unite and defeat such elements,” he said, as per the release.
The Lieutenant Governor further asked the youth to move forward with the common aim which is to reclaim India’s position as a Vishwa Guru and prove themselves to be the true successors of the ancestors who established great centres of education like Nalanda, Takshashila and Vikramshila.
Speaking on the transformation taking place in the educational landscape in J&K, the L-G called upon the teaching community to reinvent classroom learning and provide mentorship to students. “Education means learning, not the delivery of information. Only teacher-student engagement can generate curiosity, creativity and imagination among students. We must create a conducive environment to develop lifelong learning and problem-solving skills and encourage critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration among students,” he said.
He further emphasised maintaining a fine balance between science and sanskar. “Along with core subjects, our focus should be on value-based education and promoting new ideas, and innovations while nurturing the individuality of students,” he added.
