In an effort to establish Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) as a model educational institution in the country, Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla presided over the 34th meeting of the HPU Court. During the meeting, various crucial issues, including the recruitment of teaching and non-teaching staff, were discussed and resolved. Governor Shukla emphasized the importance of holding court meetings at least twice a year to swiftly address the university’s challenges and needs, fostering its overall development and enhancement.
Congratulating HPU for receiving an A-grade rating from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, Governor Shukla acknowledged the collective effort that led to this success. However, he stressed the necessity for continued hard work to elevate the university to the status of renowned educational institutions in the nation. He emphasized the need to raise the academic and research standards across all educational institutions in the state.
Governor Shukla highlighted the responsibility of teachers in shaping the youth not only as degree holders but also as individuals equipped to tackle contemporary challenges, including issues like unemployment. The academic and research activities should empower today’s students to address future challenges effectively.
