"The Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that change was inevitable and the opportunities created by it will lead us towards a better tomorrow," he added.

The governor went on to remark that the recognition of the university by NITI Aayog for setting up the 'Atal Incubation Centre' was a proud achievement for the country.
He added that he hoped that this centre would encourage rural innovations while fostering entrepreneurship in sustainable development, as well as extend support to other academic institutions in the region.
