Sikkim Global Technical University aims to be synonymous with quality education coupled with world-class infrastructure so as to provide the best to its students as well as teaching staff. As a Director, I firmly believe in blending quantitative and quality approaches and transforming every problem into an opportunity that motivates me toward excellence. I am also a firm believer in the teachings of our great leaders such as Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore. Rabindranath Tagore’s vision of education was based on the belief that education should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge but should also include the development of the whole person. Swami Vivekananda famously said, “We want that education, by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one's own feet.”
I envisage the same from my students and teaching staff and assure you all that the University will not leave any stone unturned to bring out the best in you.
We also strive to balance the practical capabilities of our students so that they are not just skilled and qualified from an academic perspective, but also have hands-on experience before they enter the world of practicalities in any industry.
With regards to the curriculum, meticulous efforts have been put up by the entire academics team to ensure that the curriculum is in accordance with the New Education Policy, 2020 that underscores how Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just society, and promoting national development.
The NEP emphasises how higher education plays an extremely important role in promoting human as well as societal well-being and in developing India as envisioned in its Constitution - a democratic, just, socially conscious, cultured, and humane nation upholding liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice for all.
We are hopeful that our curriculum will bridge the gap between the conventional learning system and the industry demands and bring the highest quality, equity, and integrity into the higher education system. We envision achieving this through periodic assessment and revision of curriculum, and academic collaborations.
It is important to underline here that all that we visualise is not possible without the constant support of our team and the wholehearted involvement of our students. We give high regard to any feedback on our academic system and look forward to a mutual, inclusive and collective partnership of students and teaching staff to brighten up the skies and keep the torch of SGTU shining bright.
I look forward to embarking on this remarkable journey with each one of you. May this academic year be filled with success, growth, and meaningful accomplishments!
I also encourage all of you to actively participate in co-curricular activities, research projects, and community engagement initiatives that will enrich your learning experience and contribute to your personal growth.
Wishing you all the best in your academic endeavour with our University!
