V-C acknowledges efforts of students
The V-C on Thursday interacted with faculty members who were recently awarded certificates of appreciation for their sincere services by dean, College of Agriculture, Manav Indra Singh Gill. The appreciation of the committed faculty was based on the feedback from students.
Gosal said although teachers put in an inordinate amount of effort into preparing students for their future, their contribution is sometimes overlooked. “People may not realize how many teachers regularly give up their free time to provide students with the help or assistance they need,” he said.
He discussed the role of school education serving as bedrock for learning during higher studies. He urged teachers to focus on research-centric education as that needs constant reading and updating oneself about a subject. He said PAU would always value creative and inspiring mentors.
