Cultural programmes are key to preserving heritage, says HPU VC

Titled “Sarang–Ek Abhivyakti”, the event saw enthusiastic participation from faculty members, non-teaching staff and students. The highlight of the evening was the traditional “Sintu Dance” performed by Joginder Habbi Group from Sirmaur, which captivated the audience. Performances by noted artists Gopal Sharma, Rajendra Acharya, Dr Madan Jhalta and Dr Mohinder Rathore added to the showcase.

The Vice-Chancellor, while addressing the gathering, said that cultural programmes strengthened the identity of the university and contribute significantly to the holistic development of students. He praised the efforts of the SCA and emphasised students remain the university’s top priority, noting their growing presence on national and international platforms.

He also urged students to engage with five newly established centres aimed at promoting research in emerging areas, saying these would offer greater opportunities for innovation, research and skill development.

The Dean of Studies, Prof BK Shivram, who attended as Guest of Honour, said the university was not merely a centre of education but also a custodian of cultural values. He added the ‘Sarang’ programme effectively showcased students’ creativity and organisational abilities.

Among those present were Prof Joginder Dhiman, Dean Planning; Prof Shyam Lal Kaushal, Controller of Examinations; and Prof Pradeep Kumar, Director, CDOE.
