He emphasised the numerous benefits it brings to both students and the institution. For students, this digital approach ensures easy and convenient accessibility to counselling services, personalised guidance tailored to their unique needs, and individual attention. Moreover, students can easily share necessary documents and receive support regardless of their geographical location.
The online counselling system also offers an expanded reach, enabling the university to connect with a wider audience of aspiring students. By breaking down geographical barriers, SKUAST Kashmir can extend its support to students from remote areas, ensuring equal opportunities for all. This inclusive approach aligns with the university’s commitment to fostering growth and development within the farming community.
With this transformative shift towards online counselling, SKUAST Kashmir continues to pave the way for educational institutions across the region.
