In his address, the Lt Governor congratulated the Vice Chancellor, faculty members and students on their foundation day.

He welcomed the participating industry leaders, experts, and academia to the two-day conclave which aims to support the innovation, incubation and start-ups initiatives in J&K UT to minimize Industry-Academia gap.
