BARAMULLA, Oct 28: Prof. Nilofar Khan, Vice Chancellor of Kashmir University, proudly announced the university’s successful admission of its first cohort of students for specialized coaching in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Kashmir Administrative Service (KAS). This significant milestone is part of the university’s broader mission to support and empower students aspiring to enter competitive civil services.
Prof. Khan made the announcement as per Kashmir Despatch while addressing attendees at an event held at the North Campus of Kashmir University. In her address, she expressed her confidence in the abilities of the newly enrolled students, remarking, “I am very sure that the students have talent here, and successful results will follow.” Her words underscored her belief in the potential of Kashmir University’s students and her optimism for their future achievements in civil services.
Highlighting Kashmir University’s distinguished standing within both the Union Territory and on a global scale, Prof. Khan emphasized the institution’s role in fostering talent across various fields. “In our UT, our own alumni are placed as civil servants, whether they are in the teaching faculty, technology, or the corporate sector,” she said. “This achievement represents the University of Kashmir as a whole. This institution does not belong to any individual; it does not belong to Sheikh Sir. It belongs to society.” Her remarks underscored the inclusive and community-oriented spirit of the institution, which she sees as a collective asset for society at large.
Expressing her joy over the recent accomplishments of the university’s students, Prof. Khan emphasized the importance of providing enhanced placement opportunities. “I am very pleased that our students are excelling and securing good placements,” she said. She noted that the university is actively engaged in expanding these opportunities to ensure that students can secure meaningful positions after graduation.
Prof. Khan also announced that Kashmir University would soon benefit from a substantial financial boost. The university is set to receive a grant of Rs 300 crore under the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) initiative, with a special focus on developing the North Campus. This allocation is expected to significantly enhance the infrastructure and resources available to students, including those at the North Campus.
In addition to the major grant, Prof. Khan stated her commitment to supporting smaller projects that may require funding, assuring the audience that she would address such needs at her level.
The occasion was the HARUD BUSINESS FEST 2024, a prestigious event organized by the Department of Management Studies at the North Campus. Prof. Nilofar Khan served as the chief guest, where she delivered an inspiring speech on entrepreneurship. Addressing the students, she encouraged them to continually develop their entrepreneurial skills, emphasizing the importance of innovation and adaptability in the modern business landscape. Her speech resonated with students, motivating them to strive for excellence in both their academic and professional pursuits.
