New Delhi: The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Najeeb Jung was the Chief Guest at the Annual Day Function of Lady Shri Ram College for Women today. He gave away awards to the distinguished alumnae as also to those who have served the college for twenty five years on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Jung said, “The Lady Shri Ram College has become a benchmark today to measure academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular excellence, as also for fostering a community which has an engaged sense of responsibility to society.”
Speaking about the role of the humanities and social sciences, Shri Jung said, “The role of the humanities and social sciences education can hardly be underscored; it is all the more necessary today when we think of issues which face our society – be it gender insensitivity, class and caste biases, religious intolerance, regional conflicts. For addressing all of these and more, we need, today more than ever, a training in the humanities and social sciences.”
Jung also lauded the college in providing excellent education to women and said, “The college is emblematic of a feminism that helps women find their rightful place in the sun. It trains women who go on to excel in every sphere of their endeavour, be it the arts, media, education, the corporate sector, or governance. They are empowered with an academic training, professional competence, and an ability to assume positions of leadership with complete ease and self-confidence. This to my mind is both a symptom and a cause, of a slow but sure social revolution.”
Jung ended his address by saying, “It is my hope that the college will continue to empower women to assume leadership roles, become critical thinkers and concerned citizens, who will contribute to the world of knowledge and work.”
