SRINAGAR: Vice-Chancellor of the University of Kashmir, Prof Nilofer Khan, on Friday said her team is mulling over launching multiple developmental programmes that can comprehensively enhance students’ personalities.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on May 19 appointed Prof Nilofer Khan, Professor Department of Home Science, as the new Vice-Chancellor of the University of Kashmir.
Nilofer, who has been associated with the Kashmir University in different capacities for the last 37 years, told ANI that working with dedication has remained her core value during her career so far. “I will continue to remain dedicated in her role as Vice-Chancellor too,” she said.
She said her team is mulling over launching multiple development programmes that can comprehensively enhance students’ personalities. She also emphasised on working in a direction that can further improve the university’s performance at all parameters.
“I will continue my work towards the student development programmes. I will try to take everyone ahead together. We will try to get NAAC Accreditation A++ in 2024 which is currently A+. We will try to improve our NIRF ranking,” Prof Nilofer said.
Kashmiri students, she said, have huge potential and it needs to be channelised in an appropriate direction. Prof Nilofer said her only objective as of now is the comprehensive development of all her students. “Kashmiri youths are skilled and talented. No matter where they are, they have been performing exceedingly well. And there is a huge potential for the youth in the valley and we believe that we are going in the right direction.” Nilofer said.
“The management has floated a mega programme, which is essentially focused on developing students in other fields too. The excellence should not remain limited to academics only but the youth should be excelling at extra-curricular activities too. Not just boys, but girls too should be excelling in these activities,” added Prof Nilofer. (ANI)
