Addressing the newly promoted faculty, Prof. Molugaram emphasized that “promotion always comes with greater added responsibility.” He urged them to contribute with renewed rigor and commitment for the betterment of the University.
Setting a clear vision for research, the Vice-Chancellor exhorted faculty to pursue research with passion, focusing on contributing toward unsolved problems in society, rather than merely meeting promotion requirements. He stressed that Quality Research must be published in top journals (Q1, Q2, Q3) to meet international standards and effectively build the image of Osmania University.
“We must aim high and set new benchmarks and best practices for future generations,” he stated. “The University has given us a great opportunity to serve in the noblest profession of teaching; it is now our time to give back to society by our contributions to its ever-changing needs.” (Maxim News)
