Vice Chancellor presents the need for 10-Point agenda to build World-Class University

November 6, 2019: Looking at the need for achieving excellence and rising higher in the global rankings, Vice-Chancellor of O P Jindal Global University, Raj Kumar presented a 10-point agenda to build institutions of eminence, capable of connecting the local needs with global aspirations.  JGU is the only university in the category of non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and non-medicine universities to be recognised as ‘Institution of Excellence’.

To achieve this goal, there is a need to create multidisciplinary universities and to provide the faculty with adequate resources in order to conduct a cross-disciplinary study — one that encourages innovativeness, remains socially important and responds to the nation's needs.

In addition to recruiting eminent professors both from the country and overseas, Kumar also highlighted the need for transparent admission process without management quota, and establishing international networks and partnerships with leading foreign universities. The idea is to foster diversity, inclusion and connectivity.
