Chandigarh, Apr 30 (PTI) Haryana Governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh on Thursday urged academic institutions across the state to align their curricula with industry needs and emerging technologies.
The governor asserted that the ultimate goal of education must be to produce innovators and entrepreneurs who can drive Haryana’s transformation.
He emphasised that our students should become job creators rather than job seekers.
The governor was speaking at an event organised by the State Support Mission and Swarna Jayanti Haryana Institute for Fiscal Management (SJHIFM) in Panchkula, an official statement said.
The event showcased key strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening industrial innovation, preserving state heritage, and transforming education governance in Haryana.
Ghosh emphasised that Haryana has every potential to emerge as a premier knowledge and innovation hub, and that strategic initiatives such as those presented at the event would serve as the foundation for that future.
He described “Samarth Haryana” not as a mere slogan but as a guiding philosophy, one aimed at transforming aspiration into achievement through innovation, collaboration and knowledge-driven governance.
Stressing that progress cannot be achieved in silos, the Governor called for integrated efforts across policy, technology, education and industry to build a truly ‘Samarth Haryana’.
He also congratulated the State Support Mission and SJHIFM for conceptualising and successfully implementing forward-looking initiatives that are driving innovation, strengthening governance and contributing to the state’s vision of inclusive and sustainable development.
A live demonstration of the National Education Evaluation and Validation (NEEV) Portal was conducted at the event. The portal serves as a comprehensive, data-driven platform for monitoring the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020.
It enables real-time data collection, performance benchmarking, and analytics-based decision-making across higher education institutions, thereby enhancing transparency, accountability and governance outcomes in the education sector.
Earlier in the programme, Director General of SJHIFM, Raj Nehru presented an overview of the institute’s work, highlighting how it is creating a scalable and sustainable model for inclusive development by integrating industry, academia, heritage preservation and education governance through technology and collaboration.
