We have Dr. Mohammed Azam at this event, can you please introduce yourself?
Myself Dr. Mohammed Azam, Principal of SCS Shri Chhote Shah Government Degree College, District Poonch. I’m leading the degree college where NEP has been introduced since 2022. Recently, in the month of May, my college has been accredited for the first time in J&K UT. My college is number one for virtual mode of NAAC accreditation, and our college has got a good B Grade. Our college is located just half a kilometer near the LoC line of control. My students and faculty have done very well. That’s why, for the first time in J&K UT, we got a B Grade accreditation at the national level.
What streams are there in your college?
Earlier, we had only two streams: Science and Arts. But nowadays, under NEP, there are 18 major subjects and 34 minor subjects. Multidisciplinary subjects and value-added courses are also offered based on the national-level education pattern.
What are your thoughts on this event?
I’m delighted to attend this function. I’m thankful to the organizers and your team for inviting me from the extreme border. I will bring back the message of this conference to my students and faculty members. Today’s sessions are one of the best I must say. I’m not exaggerating my views, but because you have made all the efforts and have a collective venture here in soft skilling, accelerating education patterns, school education, and higher education from different fields, covering what we need for the future — it’s all under one roof.
I can say we’ll get a good message for the people, for our younger generation, so that they can excel in the coming days in the era of the internet and all these digital platforms. They can excel, and we can share our experiences with them as well. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after returning, I will organize a program at the college level showcasing your valuable contribution in this field.
