Srinagar: Prof Mohammad Mobin formally assumed the charge as Vice Chancellor of the Cluster University of Srinagar on Thursday.
He took over the reins of leadership from Prof. Qayyum Husain who completed his three-year term.
A statement said that on his arrival at the main campus, Prof. Mobin was accorded a warm reception by the staff with NCC cadets presenting the customary Guard of Honour.
In an interaction session attended by senior office bearers of the university, Prof. Mobin said, “I feel privileged to have been given a chance to lead this young institution and help it achieve its full potential. I believe my administrative and academic experience will help me contribute meaningfully to further develop Cluster University and complete the projects initiated by my predecessor, Prof. Qayyum.”
He said the administrative responsibility in a higher education institution is broadly classified into academic and corporate life.
“I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to both types of responsibilities at Aligarh Muslim University. This has helped me to understand the complexities and challenges of governance in higher education institutions and also to judge what constitutes excellence in teaching and research. I therefore have a clear idea of what is expected of me as vice-chancellor of this university. However, I must state that I do not underestimate the responsibilities of this role,” said Prof. Mobin.
