Jammu/IBNS: Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing positive developments with the setting up of premier education institutes like IIT, IIM, AIIMS, central and cluster universities among other avenues of education.

The remarks were made by Principal Secretary Higher Education, Rohit Kansal while addressing students of Central University, Jammu.

He was chairing the valedictory function of a three-day 'Mobile Film Making' workshop.

The workshop was organised by the Mass Communication and New Media Department of Central University of Jammu in which the participants were trained by Ritesh Taksande from Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune.

Speaking on the occasion, the Principal Secretary said, “In the fast changing and fast developing world of today, it is pertinent to identify ideas and develop the wherewithal to implement them meticulously to fruition. Ideas have the potential to develop into billion-dollar companies these days.”

Explaining the scope of technology and its advantages, he added that they have demolished barriers of time and space and provided a ‘level playing field’ to youngsters and bright minds from all sections of society.

In his advice to students, he said, "Think through chaos to identify world changing opportunities."

The Principal Secretary also shed light on the implementation of National  Education Policy-2020.

He reiterated that all educational institutions across J&K would be implementing NEP in full from the current session.

He also revealed that J&K would now follow a uniform academic calendar that  would be in sync with the national academic calendar. This would immensely  benefit the students and also enable students from J&K to compete for admission  to the best colleges and universities across India without any loss of time.

Veteran BBC Editor and documentary filmmaker, Vijay Rana, shared his professional experiences with the students.

He urged the students to move ahead with confidence and faith and nothing could prevent them from being successful.

Speaking at the event, Vice Chancellor Sanjeev Jain assured successful  implementation of NEP-2020 in the university and assured that the Central  University would enhance the emphasis on employability and skill based courses

and continue organising ‘outcome based’ practical training sessions in the  university in the future also.

Three films, namely Ek Fauji, Educated Fools and Mitra were adjudged the best films, whilst the teams were awarded cash prizes.
