Basic efforts for building a new system should be given priority, only then will there be effective progress. He said this while interacting with vice-chancellors of four universities at Raj Bhavan on Thursday. He said universities established in the name of great personalities must display sense of respect to them. Details of their life and work should be displayed in the universities in brief. Every person associated with the university established in the name of great persons should be informed and educated about their life and work.
The knowledge about their sacrifices, valour and commitments will increase respect for the institution and its dignity. People will be inspired by their high ideals. He said that universities should be made the centre to familiarize students with the practical benefits of new research and methods in the field of environmental protection and economic development. The universities must present a model of self-reliance. He cautioned the universities that in the new academic year, the only criteria for review would be decision and its adherence. He said that the problems and needs of universities have been resolved.
It should be ensured now itself as to who will be responsible for not getting outcome. He said that now if the result of the examination is delayed, it will be the responsibility of the Vice Chancellor to take action against the concerned and declare the result on time. If this does not happen, the Chancellor will be held responsible. He said that the chancellors would have to take initiative for the academic environment. Their motivation will influence teachers and students. He said that it is mandatory to maintain cleanliness in the system along with the campus.
Not conducting an audit is like not justifying expenditure. This is a serious economic crime. Everyone knows what the position of an economic criminal is in society.

If the academic environment and the conduct of office-bearers of the university is not excellent, the entire environment will be polluted, which will be harmful for the country and society.
