Vice Chancellor’s Greetings on New Year 2024

As we turn the pages of our calendar to welcome the new year, I take great pleasure in expressing my sincere gratitude to our dedicated academic, non-academic, administrative staff, and the student community for their unwavering commitment and contribution to bringing glory to our esteemed institution. Your efforts have been pivotal in advancing our institution’s goals and shaping its narrative.

To all our esteemed staff, I encourage you to embrace the essence of renewal and set ambitious resolutions for the upcoming year. Let us collectively strive for excellence, nurture innovation, and foster a culture of collaboration, steering clear of any detrimental practices. I urge everyone to use our limited resources sparingly and to embrace a culture of taking responsibilities and being accountable for all actions. It is through our combined efforts that we can overcome challenges and reach new levels of success.

May the New Year bring prosperity, growth, and fulfillment to each member of our valued community. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication, and I eagerly anticipate a year filled with shared achievements.

Wishing you and your families an eventful year ahead!
