It is with great pleasure and pride I have taken charge as the Vice Chancellor of Shri Govind Guru University, Godhra, Gujarat. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Government of Gujarat, especially Shri Vijay Rupani, Hon. Chief Minister of Gujarat and Shri Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, Hon. Education Minister, Gujarat among others for instilling faith in me and giving me the responsibility as the Vice Chancellor of the University. I am pleased to state that, from day one, I am determined to fulfill the Government’s dream of making this university as a model university. This being a new university in an educationally and socially backward area, I can see a tremendous scope for implementing reforms proposed by Government of India i.e. MHRD and UGC. Since this is the defining moment in the history of this University, I will consider it as my responsibility to see that the University moves ahead in the right direction from the very beginning.
The reach, quality, and relevance of education in an economy of India’s size and importance is indisputable. Its significance in a country like India that has a young demography with aspirations to be a part of the global knowledge pool makes it exceptionally relevant for the region of Godhra. My first priority would be to create an academic environment as well as a research-oriented environment on the university campus by developing required infrastructure, initiating need-based PG programs, recruiting qualified and dedicated academicians and administrators as soon as possible. Having achieved this goal, I will relentlessly work for quality and excellence in all aspects of higher education.
I invite all the stakeholders of our University to come together and work toward evolving a structure and culture which acts as a model for posterity to follow. I appeal to everyone for their constructive inputs and suggestions for the betterment of the University. Let’s collectively work towards realizing the Government’s dream of making Shri Govind Guru University a model University.
