AT THE OUTSET, I like to congratulate the whole University fraternity for setting up a new benchmark by scoring grade ‘A’ in NAAC Accreditation – a well established signature of excellence in the world of academia. Though I am a new addition to this family, I always consider myself to be one amongst you. My previous experience of serving this University in different roles was truly gratifying. Now since I am leading this University, I envisage a very positive and bright future filled with opportunities for all. We all must agree with the fact that students are a true lifeline for any educational system. I see University as a place that deems a fearless world of choices

where learners can meet their expectations and realize their true potential with great hopes. Our focus shall be on making policies while placing students at the core and harnessing their true competencies through rightful knowledge, skills and opportunities. We shall strive not only for producing technocrats but with high skills and also with high values and character. This shall be achieved by education that is marked with true knowledge, creativity, innovation and soul. As they say, “When the root is deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.” I believe with these elements of rightful character our students shall survive all the odds that life might pose for them. Nothing can be achieved in isolation; it is our cumulative duties to create a fearless world of learning where we all can realize our true capacities to maximum. It is indeed a team-work. I see no difference in people irrespective of their positions. I believe any work no matter how big or small done with sincerity and with positive intent to serve the University at large shall be of true value. I encourage all members of this fraternity to see themselves as a part of one big family working days and nights with a common goal of achieving excellence. Prof. Sunil Kumar

Vice Chancellor, RGPV Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
