Message from the desk of Vice-Chancellor

Greetings from the Manipur Technical University!

It is my proud privilege and immense pleasure to lead the prestigious Manipur Technical University as Vice-Chancellor. I devote myself to the service of building this new university to the global standard and work with my dedicated faculty members, non-teaching staff, energetic students, scholars, treasured alumni, and also address the aspirations of the society, and the Government of Manipur for making this University a Centre of great learning in the field of Engineering and Management.

In fact, the growth and development of a nation largely depend on the quality of education and technology that act as an engine of growth. Studies of science, engineering, technology and management have been paramount for producing wealth of the nation due to the focus of these subjects in research & innovation, problem solving, and entrepreneurship.

With the recent celebration of the 10^th Foundation Day of the University, a moment comes in the history of Manipur Technical University that it has reached a landmark in terms of its contribution to our society significantly and the memorable accomplishments in terms of introduction of various programmes and performance of our distinguished alumni.

However, we need to think the paradigm shift in the Higher Education sector after the introduction of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. In line with the core requirements of NEP 2020, one needs to embrace knowledge, skill, experiential learning, multidisciplinary approach, traditional knowledge, values system, collaborations among institutions, digital & technological applications to the present-day education system along with providing access to higher education and increased enrolment of the students.

Manipur Technical University is committed to offering impeccable academic standard with global perspective and taking a leaf from the present status to the level of a premier University of our country with both national and international level recognition.

Besides University plans to introduce various other streams of studies in the field of engineering and technology along with skill-based value-added courses and multidisciplinary research studies in the coming years. University has signed collaborative MoUs for greater research exposures and capacity building of its faculty and students. This will add more values in its endeavor.

Today, Manipur Technical University and its committed employees tirelessly put their concerted efforts for strengthening its physical infrastructure, intellectual capital, and delivering quality in teaching, research, and grooming graduate outcomes of par excellence.

I invite learned academicians and aspirants to the Manipur Technical University. I wish the University a memorable journey ahead.

Prof. W. Chandbabu Singh
