Jammu and Kashmir governor NN Vohra today advised youth to contribute in solving problems facing the state, besides helping its socio-economic development.
Vohra, while addressing the 17th annual convocation at University of Kashmir, here said, "The youth of today don't have the only responsibility of finding a suitable job for themselves, but in my expectation, they must contribute to the socio-economic development of the state in whatever little way they can."
"Jammu and Kashmir has certain problems, some of them historical, which are hopefully on way of resolution. Likewise the country and its neighbourhood are facing some problems. So, I would advice the youth to contribute to solving these problems," Vohra, who is the chancellor of the university said.
The governor said that people must protect, preserve and strengthen the secular ethos of the state and added, "We have the historical glorious tradition of 70 years, which we must protect."
In his address, chief minister Omar Abdullah asserting that the youth faced numerous challenges in the present worldsaid that the varsity must gear up to meet the challenges.
"It is not easy to live in this world. The challenges are numerous both in terms of finding a suitable place and to sustain in this competitive world," Omar, who is the varsity's pro-chancellor, said.
He said that the university must march ahead in meeting the challenges it faced, particularly in the wake of establishment of two central universities in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The Kashmir University is more precious to us. And it must meet the challenges it faces in the wake of establishment of two new institutions. So, there is a need to hold a debate among the academicians, institution and government regarding these challenges and how to address them," Omar said.
Vice-chancellor professor Riyaz Punjabi gave a detailed account of the varsity's achievements.
"We are in the process of going for e-governance of examination and registration sections," he said, adding that he was committed to make the varsity a hub of knowledge and research.
