Special marks for extracurricular activities, says Registrar
Centurion University-Vizianagaram Vice-Chancellor G.S.N. Raju asked students to learn about Indian heritage and culture, as doing so would help them know more about the kind of technological prowess behind the construction of massive temples and forts in the ancient days.
Attending a seminar organised on ‘Heritage-Importance-Students’ Role’ on the university campus here on Sunday, Prof. Raju said mere academic studies would not ensure overall development of the students.
“The university has created a wonderful cultural, sports and responsibilities club to make every student shine in all aspects. We are making them study Indian history, culture and heritage irrespective of their academic courses. The youngsters were fascinated to learn about a few portions of our history, such as the Indian freedom struggle,” he said.
