New Delhi, April 24: The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, T.S. Sandhu, called upon students to become true agents of change in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Speaking at the annual day and awards ceremony at Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, he emphasized the importance of students embracing their roles as catalysts for transformation.
In today’s fast-paced digital age, Sandhu highlighted that information technology holds immense potential for meaningful impact. However, he stressed that innovation must always be guided by strong values.
In a post on the social media platform X, Sandhu expressed his delight in participating in the annual day and awards ceremony at the college. He remarked that an institution is not merely a place of education but a reflection of values, discipline, and the aspirations of its students.
He further stated that institutions inspired by the eternal legacy of service, courage, perseverance, and compassion play a crucial role in not only intellectual development but also in character building. He extended heartfelt congratulations to the leadership, faculty, and all award winners, wishing them continued success as they move forward with a firm belief in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a developed India and a developed Delhi.
On Thursday, Sandhu addressed the 100th annual day celebration of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), reminding students that education should not be confined to academic subjects alone. He urged the promotion of character, creativity, and critical thinking.
He noted that the strength of any institution lies in its people, with faculty playing a vital role in maintaining academic standards through their scholarship and dedication.
Sandhu emphasized that higher education institutions should not only impart knowledge but also foster creative thinking, adaptability to change, and integrity in action. He pointed out that the relationship between knowledge and practice becomes especially significant in fields like commerce and economics, where theory must remain relevant to ever-changing realities.
In recent years, he observed the emergence of new opportunities in areas such as digital finance, entrepreneurship, data analysis, and global trade. However, he also acknowledged the complex challenges facing the world today.
He concluded by stating that to prepare students to thrive in this environment, a combination of academic knowledge, practical experience, and ethical values is essential.
