VSU Third Annual day Celebrations

Higher Education for Character-building and wealth creation: VC ANU

April 28, 2011:   “Higher seats of learning should help the students in building sound character and impart such knowledge that will ennoble their careers to become wealth creators,” said Prof. Y.R. Haragopal Reddy, Vice-Chancellor, Acharya Nagarjuna University attending the Third Annual Celebrations – 2011 of Vikrama Simhapuri University as Chief Guest organized at Administration Building, Dargamitta, Nellore, on 28th April 2011. Growing a wee bit nostalgic about his belonging to the Nellore district, he recalled his teaching assignments in V.R. Law College and referred to Prof. C.R. Visweswara Rao, Vice-Chancellor, VSU, belonging to the same district. Dwelling on the low enrollment ratio of the students for higher education in India, he said that the youth empowerment will be realized through the gross enrollment ratio of the youth for higher education and creating better employment opportunities to them.  Referring to the grand vision for the youth to be the knowledge creators, he said that the goal of true education is the all round shaping of the personality and treating problems as opportunities to mould themselves into resourceful and self-disciplined knowledge workers.  His motivational speech laid bare the bare truth that attitude decides the altitude of a person’s career while character determines ones destiny.

 
    Prof. C.R. Visweswara Rao, Vice-Chancellor, Vikrama Simhapuri University, presented the milestones of the University and recalled the landmark achievements during the last academic year. He said that the conduct of the examinations for the First year UG and PG examinations is successfully done and made a special mention of the transfer of P.G. Centre, Kavali, to the University. He said that this is a good sign since it will further enhance the chances of the University to be admitted under 12 (b) of UGC.  He said that the University proposed to Krishnapatnam Power Corporation Limited to start an Engineering College which is under active consideration which will be realized in the next academic year. He underscored the research contributions of the members of faculty and looked forward to achieving even brighter achievements in the next academic year.

 
    Prof. V. Narayana Reddy, Registrar, presented the Third Annual Report – 2011. The document rounded off in brief the activities, research contribution, student performance, academic results, the plans envisaged during the bygone academic year.  He said that the progress recorded in the last three years ensure a very bright future ahead for the University and hoped that the University shall live up to expectation of the people of the district in serving their academic needs.  He thanked the Govt. of A.P, Hon’ble Ministers, MPs, MLCs, MLAs of the district. He acknowledged the support extended by V.R. College management to the University.

    Prof. T. Sudha, Dean,CDC proposed Vote of Thanks on the occasion. Prizes were distributed to the students and staff by the Guests.
