The new invention will not be born out of memories of the past or books, but from a free mind, from a young mind full of curiosity. To make the curiosity, innovation, invention, lifeblood of academic institutions, we must implement recommendations of national education policy.

We must remove burden of textbooks & instill in young students urge for new discoveries. We must give them courage & strength to explore unknown and not just syllabus. We should provide them with academic freedom so they get to know themselves and respect their own uniqueness, tweets official Twitter profile of The Office of Lt. Governor of J&K
