The Governor said that it was a proud moment for the University that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among them and addressing the Convocation. He said that this important event had assumed added significance as a little while earlier the Prime Minister had inaugurated the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Super Specialty Hospital, in the immediate neighborhood of the University, thus fulfilling another long awaited dream of the Shrine Board to contribute towards providing better healthcare for the people at large, at affordable prices.

The Governor said that a decade back the University was not adequately connected to the rest of the country. However, in a short span of time and thanks to the valuable interest of the Central government, the University is now connected with the world class 4-lane Jammu-Udhampur National Highway and the Katra Railway Station which was inaugurated by the Prime Minister in 2014.
The Governor hoped that that the new Vice Chancellor, Dr Sanjeev Jain, will make all necessary efforts to attract more meritorious students and produce even better results.
