Mysuru- The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said on Saturday that in the last 8 years, the world has witnessed emergence of a new India which has resolved to regain its past glory, be the economic powerhouse and become the driving force for all-round development of humanity.
“Education is the journey of the inner-self. This whole world is a university and every experience of life is education,” he said.
Addressing the inaugural function of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE), Mysuru here on Saturday, the LG also highlighted the key role of educational institutions to realize the undiscovered potential of the students.
Sharing the message of Mahatma Gandhi with the students, the LG said, the real meaning of education is to find the inner voice of oneself.
“The inner voice is the only guide in your journey and through this inner voice one can achieve excellence in life. When we realize the voice of our innerself, we experience education in its truest sense,” he said.
Sinha cited examples of many great personalities of the world and India including Sant Kabir, Guru Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Issac Newton, Albert Einstien, S Ramanujan, Gregor Mendel, Sachin Tendulkar, who listened to their inner voice and followed the path.
“Rabindranath Tagore advocated trans-disciplinary learning. Knowledge gave rise to action and action gave rise to knowledge. We must take inspiration from the life experiences of great personalities and discover our inner-self and bring knowledge into practice,” the LG said.
He emphasized that colleges and universities must create an environment where students not just strive for marks and attain degrees but strive for experiential learning.
“Today, Knowledge-economy is the gateway towards prosperity across the world. We should introspect how our educational institutions should contribute towards strengthening India’s knowledge economy,” he added.
Earlier, the LG paid his respectful obeisance to Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji and Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji.
“Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering has contributed immensely to the nation-building and has achieved recognition for playing a unique role in societal transformation,” he said.
“India is prime mover of peace and prosperity in today’s world and the educational institutions like JSCE has helped in technological advances that are taking place now,” he added.
