A beautiful tradition of remembering a great leader and educationist. I wish more Indian universities would also focus on quality assurance and digital governance like Jamia is doing. The AI-enabled practices mentioned for Nepal delegation sounds promising—hope we adopt this India-wide soon! 🙏

While it's nice to see the tribute to Zakir Husain, I hope the university isn't just doing these events for show. The real test is whether they consistently improve education quality and student experience. The delegation from Nepal is a good sign, but I'd like to see more tangible outcomes from such collaborations.

I appreciate the respect shown to former President Zakir Husain, but I wonder about the lack of mention of student involvement in these events. Are students truly engaged, or is it just a top-down affair? Also, the Nepal collaboration sounds excellent—hope it becomes a two-way learning street.
