The sessions to be conducted batchwise (seven batches till 8th of September, 225), aims to enhance institutional efficiency, professional competence, and citizen-centric service delivery.

Addressing the first session, Dean Academic Affairs, and I/c Registrar, Prof. Shahid Rasool, extended his wishes to the trainers and participants, emphasising that capacity building was central to the university’s mission of academic excellence and effective governance. Underscoring the role of both teaching and administrative staff in shaping the roadmap for a developed India by 2047, Prof. Shahid said, “The teaching fraternity holds the responsibility of nurturing future leaders, innovators, and socially responsible citizens.

Through quality education, research, and mentorship, they prepare students to contribute meaningfully to the nation’s growth trajectory. The administrative staff strengthen the university through efficient management of assets, infrastructure, technology, and student services, thereby complementing the academic mission.” He observed that the collective dedication of university staff fosters integrity, inclusivity, and self-reliance—values that resonate with the vision of Viksit Bharat. “By working with commitment and synergy,

CUKashmir along with other universities can become catalysts in realizing the dream of a developed India by 2047 as envisioned by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi,” he added. He said that such initiatives were the brainchild of Vice-Chancellor, Prof. A Ravinder Nath and were crucial in shaping CUKashmir into a future-ready institution aligned with national priorities.
