JAMMU: Vice-Chancellor (VC), University of Jammu, Prof. R.D Sharma on Friday inaugurated a seven days Children Theatre Workshop for the wards of university employees at Brig. Rajinder Singh Auditorium, University of Jammu.
Emphasising on all-round development of the children, Vice Chancellor said that curricular activities along with studies are also equally important.
He said in today’s competitive world, a child today must make their own individual development their primary focus in life and added that “those who maintain this focus will go a long way toward creating a positive action for themselves”.
Expressing satisfaction over the organisation of such programmes involving children into the performing arts, Prof. Sharma said exposure to the arts at a young age will lay the foundation for a culture of understanding and appreciation that will last a lifetime.
Greeting the participating students and their parents on the occasion of New Year, Prof. Sharma said that the greetings and blessings which are felt from the heart become very potent and he also hoped that the workshop will prove beneficial for all.
The workshop is being organised by Department of Students Welfare and is being conducted by Sumeet Sharma, Drama Instructor and Ifra Kak, Cultural Officer. Since last year, the Department has started this Children Theatre Workshop and this is second in the series. Around 45 children are taking part in this workshop.
In his address, Prof. Pankaj K. Srivastava, Dean Students Welfare dwelt upon the basic idea of conducting this unique workshop within the campus.
