Manoj Sinha<\/strong>, Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir<\/strong>, on Monday said the nation owes a profound debt to Maharaja Ranbir Singh<\/strong> for his visionary reforms and for laying the foundations of a vibrant and thriving Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

He was speaking at the unveiling ceremony of the bust of Maharaja Ranbir Singh at Central Sanskrit University<\/strong>, Jammu Kot Bhalwal campus, which was also renamed as \u201cShri Maharaja Ranbir Singh Campus.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, the Lieutenant Governor said Maharaja Ranbir Singh viewed Jammu and Kashmir as a living and vibrant entity rather than merely a geographical territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaharaja Ranbir Singh saw Jammu Kashmir as a living entity\u2014not mere land, but a vibrant structure where culture breathed life and reforms channelled energy. For him, its soul resided not just in mountains and rivers but in intellectual and spiritual values,\u201d Sinha said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said the Dogra ruler did not simply govern Jammu and Kashmir but provided it with a new vision by strengthening its intellectual, cultural and spiritual foundations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaharaja Ranbir Singh did not merely rule Jammu Kashmir; he bestowed it a new vision, restructured it, illuminated it with knowledge and adorned it with cultural abundance. He left behind a legacy rich on material, intellectual and spiritual planes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sinha noted that the renaming of the university campus reflects the enduring relevance of the values and consciousness that Maharaja Ranbir Singh had ignited more than a century ago.<\/p>\n

He also urged the youth to follow the ideals of the former ruler and play a leading role in building a safer and more prosperous Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur youth must embrace his expansive and humane values and contribute to nation-building. As today\u2019s Jammu Kashmir embodies Maharaja Ranbir Singh\u2019s foresight, this campus must reflect his ideals,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

Emphasising the need to balance technological progress with human values, Sinha said society must aim to be technologically strong while remaining sensitive to human welfare.<\/p>\n

He called upon young people to contribute not only to India\u2019s development but also to global intellectual and moral advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia, driven by human welfare, remains committed to world peace and shared prosperity. The time has come for India to reclaim its place in guiding a challenge-ridden world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Highlighting India\u2019s ancient traditions, the Lieutenant Governor said the country\u2019s civilisational journey combined scientific knowledge with cultural wisdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ancient civilisation never followed a one-sided path. One hand held science while the other preserved culture. We emphasised personalities blending the intellect of Brahmagupta<\/strong> and the wisdom of Gautama Buddha<\/strong>,\u201d he said, adding that the university campus should nurture such personalities.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor also assured financial assistance for establishing Gurukuls, Sanskrit Pathshalas and Ved Pathshalas<\/strong> in the region to promote traditional learning.<\/p>\n

Among those present on the occasion were Karan Singh<\/strong>, former Union Minister; Vishwamurti Shastri<\/strong>; Shrinivasa Varakhedi<\/strong>, Vice Chancellor of Central Sanskrit University; Kamal Kishor Mishra<\/strong> from the University of Calcutta<\/strong>; R. G. Murali Krishna<\/strong>, Registrar of Central Sanskrit University; and Satish Kumar Kapoor<\/strong>, Director of the university, along with faculty members, officials, prominent citizens and a large number of students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
