NEP is essential to move from rote to inquisitive learning: Governor at 13th convocation ceremony of JNTUH
Hyderabad: Highlighting the need for a transformative shift in the education system, Telangana governor Jishnu Dev Varma, on Tuesday said that all colleges must implement the National Education Policy (NEP). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He said it can help the education system evolve from a rote learning model to an inquisitive learning one. "Integrating universal human values, as envisioned in NEP 2020, is essential. This integration nurtures inner strength, sound decision-making, and resilience — qualities indispensable in today's complex world," said the governor, while speaking at the 13th convocation ceremony of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad. Urging students to go beyond passive use of technology, he added: "Innovate, imagine, and build a future that is inclusive and humane. In a world characterised by rapid technological change and AI, it is your creativity, empathy, and ethics that will set you apart." Stating how the university is looking forward to addressing global issues through innovation, JNTU vice-chancellor T Kishen Kumar Reddy said how the university is setting up research hubs in select constituent and affiliated colleges. "These challenges are FEW - Food & Fuel, Energy & Environment, Waste & Water. The research hubs will cater to the challenges faced in these domains," Reddy said. 74 awarded gold medals This year's convocation saw 92,118 students being awarded degrees with 74 securing gold medals across different disciplines including engineering, technology, science, management, humanities, and social sciences. P Surpriya, a BTech civil engineering graduate, received three gold medals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "I'm over the moon. This achievement is because of my parents' unwavering faith in me. These medals are not just mine — they belong to them and to every girl who dares to dream big. I hope my journey motivates others to chase their ambitions fearlessly," she said. Another heartwarming moment was when 40-year-old Singiah Gali received a PhD for his research in hybrid compost material. Currently working as a robotic process automation engineer, Gali said his biggest cheerleader was his four-year-old daughter. "She was clapping and calling out my name with so much pride when I went up to receive my certificate. I'll never forget that moment. I want to be someone she can look up to, someone who proves that it's never too late to learn, grow, and chase your passion," he said.
