I am honoured and deeply humbled to step into the role of Vice-Chancellor at Techno India University, Tripura, a beacon of higher education in this vibrant region of North-East India. Taking charge at the beginning of this promising New Year 2024 fills me with immense joy and a profound sense of responsibility towards fostering excellence in education through the university and to the region. As we embark on this new journey in this new year, I extend my heartfelt wishes to the faculty, staff, and bright minds, our students, who grace our halls. Together, we aim not just to meet but to set new records and exceed the standards set by premier educational institutions in the region and nationwide.
Under the leadership of Shri Satyam Roychowdhury, the Hon'ble Chancellor, Techno India University, Tripura & Co-founder & Managing Director, Techno India Group, my goal is to make Techno India University Tripura stand as a testament to academic brilliance and societal enrichment. As the Vice-Chancellor, I will strive to ensure that this institution is poised to provide holistic education, nurturing aspirations, and spreading the light of knowledge across our local and remote communities spanning both urban and rural areas of Tripura, the Northeast, and beyond. To do this, I will closely work and collaborate with both the esteemed institutes under Techno India Group and other institutes of excellence.
Our vision encompasses multifaceted growth: from enhancing our infrastructure to elevating academic standards and pioneering new frontiers in teaching, research, and innovation. We are committed to seamlessly integrating ambitious national initiatives such as “NEP-SAARTHI”, “Swachh Bharat Swasth Bharat” and others into our educational fabric. The educational ecosystem outlined in the National Education Policy 2020 resonates deeply with our aspirations. Embracing this policy will not only transform our institution but also contribute significantly to India's academic, social, economic, and strategic growth on the global stage.
With a career spanning over 39 memorable years, my journey at TIUT unfolds from an illustrious tenure at the College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University (Imphal).
