Vice-President Calls for Academic Renaissance at Tamil Nadu Vice-Chancellors\u2019 Conference in Udhagamandalam.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Udhagamandalam:<\/em><\/p>\n

Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar addressed a distinguished gathering of Vice-Chancellors from state, central, and private universities of Tamil Nadu at a major educational conference held in Udhagamandalam. The event, organized as part of a continuing initiative by Tamil Nadu Governor Thiru R.N. Ravi since 2022, served as a crucible for educational dialogue and national introspection.<\/p>\n

Opening with a solemn tribute to the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, the Vice-President expressed deep grief and called terrorism a “global menace” that humanity must address collectively. He reaffirmed India\u2019s commitment to peace, guided by civilisational ethos and visionary leadership.<\/p>\n

The Vice-President emphasized the supremacy of national interest in education and governance. Citing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar\u2019s address to the Constituent Assembly, he called for prioritizing national unity over political or personal agendas.<\/p>\n

Highlighting his own journey shaped by quality education, the Vice-President stressed the transformative power of inclusive, affordable, and quality education. \u201cIt is education that cuts through inequality and gives dignity,\u201d he noted, calling on Vice-Chancellors to act as \u2018Saarthis\u2019\u2014guiding lights for the youth.<\/p>\n

He urged higher education institutions to embrace innovation, character-building, and multidisciplinary learning. He stressed the need for meaningful research tied to real-world solutions, industry collaboration, and a revival of India’s ancient Gurukul values. \u201cOur universities must not be credential outfits, but crucibles of innovation and cultural pride,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Touching upon the National Education Policy (NEP), the Vice-President hailed it as a \u201ctransformative, game-changing policy\u201d aligned with India\u2019s civilizational ethos. He encouraged wider adoption of mother tongue instruction and decolonization of curriculum narratives.<\/p>\n

He also called for a structured push toward alumni engagement, citing global institutions with billion-dollar alumni corpuses. \u201cLet us not deprive ourselves of a think tank made of our own alumni,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

Concluding his address, the Vice-President reflected on India’s interrupted legacy from Nalanda to modern institutions, calling on educational leaders to fuel a national academic renaissance. \u201cThe intellectual revitalization of Bharat is not a dream\u2014it is a destination,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

The conference, broadcast live on Sansad TV, was attended by top academicians and education administrators from across Tamil Nadu, reinforcing the state\u2019s historical role as a beacon of learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
