Dear Colleagues, students and University fraternity,
Siddharth University, Kapilvastu, Sidhharth Nagar is a young University with immense potential in higher education. Established in the year 2013 at Kapilvastu, Siddharth nagar, near Indo-Nepal border and in the aspirational GI tagged, Kala namak rice growing area of Tarai region in Uttar Pradesh, The University has made a humble beginning. Gradually she has metamorphosed into a nucleus for students not only from rural and otherwise underprivileged agricultural belt but also for the International students from Nepal and other states of India. Presently there are Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Commerce and Management and Science with 24 departments spread over 53 acres along with 281 associated colleges in five districts of Uttar Pradesh. The University houses both academic block, administrative block, girls and boys hostels, faculty residences and more. Bus facility for girl students is there on campus.
As Vice-Chancellor of the University which is blessed by Lord Buddha and has a unique location, vibe and diversity, I would like to personally acknowledge that these are formative times. It is clear that our focus and energies should be on what we can do together to make a difference. I have joined this prestigious office with commitment to steer the institution on the path of glory and global presence with purpose, prayer, positivity and perusal. I visualize a sustainable, self-reliant trend-setter University of International repute having a clean and green campus that imparts values and activity based education with an aim to develop good human beings and responsible Indian citizens reflecting integrity, confidence, Indian values and belongingness to the Nation. One to one feedback from colleagues, decentralization and accepting good practices is inherent in me. My vision for University align with the National Education Policy 2020 ensuring update information, strengthened with Indian culture, traditions, fortified with modern scientific tools for research par excellence.
Siddharth University,Kapilvastu is having successful academic sessions through a good academic calendar, proper infrastructure and basic laboratory facilities, concept of sustainability, timely exams, results and convocation. As the University is marching ahead in a pursuit to secure important place in National accreditation and rankings I see her to be a Mother imparting character building through her compassion, discipline, teaching and learning environment.The conscious of the University coincides with the eight fold path of Buddha and is instrumental in promoting the International character of the University. I look forward to moreMoUs, student and faculty exchanges. The rich library on campus has good collections of text-books, periodicals, reference material and e-books that are an asset for our students and colleagues. The International Buddhist Centre and Pt. Deen Dayal ShodhPeeth housing rare manuscripts and literature on Buddhism are a rich heritage and asset available only at Siddharth University for students, teachers and researchers. Machine learning and intelligence, modeling, vocational training and skill development, integrated courses, MOOCs and credit transfers, Industry-Academia-Research are what I feel make a University globally known and sought after by students and therefore these will be the focus. Moreover, the faculty members areencouraged for consultancies and projects, PPP models. introducevocational and skill based courses, International dual degree programs as well as Centres of Excellence. Therefore, my initial efforts will be astudent-centric approach, attracting more students on campus, provisions for research, scholarships, fellowships, student placements and vocational courses. Connect with industries, philanthropists and locals in the area by reaching out for endowments to prospective donors and funds under corporate social responsibilities or foundations for student-support in upcoming academic year are my priorities. The University will support students from the local village areas, especially those from tribal belt and weaker sections.
Across all of this work, we need to come together as a community, and I want to welcome our departments, faculties, affiliated colleges and individual colleagues to come forward and contribute to our collective efforts.
Friends, all at Siddharth University actualize the essence of Siddh+Arth where one is transformed and becomes complete through learning and education (Siddh) thereby giving you value, money, meaningful life (Arth). So respect the money spent by your parents on your education and transform as an earning member of the family through education, research, placement and as citizen of India and torch-bearer of Alma mater.
Our University has taken small yet steady steps on the growth-ladder and has marked her presence at the National and International platform. I believe together we all will continue to contribute towards societal upliftment through traditional-wisdom, education, technology, human and environmental values.
You are my reason to be thankful
Thank you and stay well.
