II.CHAIRPERSON"S MESSAGE The world is facing challenging times against myriad problems of illiteracy, global warming and deep economic recession. By and large it is a result of all pervading ignorance in society and shortage of educational institutions geared up for local as well as global requirements. Unfortunately, we as a society have also shied away from taking tough decisions and hence we have failed to inspire young generation to grapple with formidable challenges of the present and the future times. Today the challenges to mankind are awesome and mindboggling, but the tools with which we attempt to solve them remain old and obsolete. These must be replaced with new and the state of art. Nevertheless, we must stick to ‘old’ when it comes to our culture and heritage. Human values upon which our success depends remain unchanged since times immemorial. These are the age old virtues of hard work, honesty, courage, tolerance, creativity, self-discipline & self-abnegation. Standing on the bed rock of these ideals, moral principles and stellar human values, Shridhar University is here for a social transformation that we all seem to be waiting for. The sea change will come with technological and scientific innovation based on creativity and commonsense. We realize the challenge in education today is not only about choosing between new and old methodologies and institutions, but also about choosing quality education which nurtures creativity, helps develop a healthy mind, encourages positive thinking and dynamism. It is our firm belief that education finally leads to a higher level of awareness , societal commitment, resource utilization, lab to land transfer of knowledge and creation of better and diverse career opportunities for students and scholars. Significantly, modern workplace has become a dynamic environment where exchange of ideas and thoughts takes place every moment. Rational judgments replace old ideas and beliefs. Shridhar University is one such place, and much more. Students come here to share the Vision & Mission of University. We motivate them to develop professional skills which help them grow into global citizens without compromising with their cultural and religious ethos. The University has taken up initiatives of national and global importance. Local and regional issues, including heritage promotion, shall also be addressed. We shall attempt to find solutions for the development of renewable green energy resources. Our focus would also be on water conservation methods and its recycling technologies. It shall be our endeavor that besides the classroom education, the university emerges a leader in the state of art research methods supported with industry linkages, school programs, consultancy services and collaboration with other institutions of repute in India and abroad.
