Gurmit Singh (Retd.), as the Chief Guest. The event united the whole university fraternity to observe three historic milestones that strengthened both infrastructure and cultural spirit.

Three Major Milestones Revealed.

The festivities began with the opening of a special Post Office Extension Counter on campus. This new facility promised greater convenience to students, faculty, and staff, and postal services streamlining right on the university grounds, and this would help in the day-to-day academic and personal needs.

During a special highlight, the Governor issued a special MyStamp and Special Cover, which is a commemoration of the contributions made by Uttaranchal University to education and development of the region. These philatelic souvenirs were a source of pride as they were the growing heritage of the university and thus its excellence in higher education.

The event was topped off with solemn consecration, creating a sacred space to promote spiritual development and academic endeavours. This addition was a perfect combination of the modern infrastructure and traditional values forming a complete campus atmosphere.

Presence of Governor Raises Occasion

Lt. Gen. Gurmit Singh (Retd.) praised the visionary nature of the university with respect to how such initiatives helped in bridging the convenience, culture, and progress. His presence underscored state recognition in the role played by Uttaranchal University to develop future leaders and maintain the rich heritage of Uttarakhand.

Community Congregates in Historic Celebration

Students, faculty, and staff gathered in large numbers, filling the campus with excitement and pride. The University leadership was deeply grateful to both the Governor and the community and renewed their commitment to the establishment of a balanced ecosystem of learning and growth.

This March 24 occasion made Uttaranchal University a progressive university in Dehradun, just the right mix of the modern amenities and culture. To students who are seeking admissions in Uttarakhand, it emphasised the reasons why the university is one of the best places to be in terms of holistic education.

The festivals solidified the Uttaranchal University motto of excellence with a purpose to create new standards in the campus life and community good.

It is the World Optometry Day today, March 23, 2026, the world-wide celebration of the unsung heroes of the eye care profession, who enable millions of people to view the world through a clear lens. With the global community coming together to celebrate optometrists, Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) stands tall in the Department of Optometry, which is making actual changes in eye health in India. This day is a reminder of how talented professionals can make the foggy dreams come true in the form of crystal-clear futures, one eye check at a time.

What is Optometry?

Optometry is the science of the eye and vision care, which is not merely about the spectacles. Optometrists conduct a thorough eye examination, identify early symptoms of such illnesses as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, prescribe corrective lenses or contact lenses, and even lead the vision therapy. The demand of trained optometrists in India has never been higher, as more than 500 million people face problems with their vision, which is due to the increased screen time, diabetes, and aging population. 

According to the World Health Organization, 2.2 billion individuals in the world are vision impaired with one billion of these cases being preventable. This crisis is being highlighted by World Optometry Day, which calls for more access to eye care in areas such as rural Odisha, where CUTM is well established.

Centurion University’s Department of Optometry

It was founded in an attempt to reduce the discrepancy between classroom education and practice in the real world, and it provides a state-of-the-art B.Optom course accredited by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). In the first year students are plunged into practical training on the use of high-tech equipment such as autorefractors, slit lamps, and fundus cameras. The curriculum incorporates anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and low-vision rehab so that the graduates are prepared to work in clinics, hospitals, or even optical chains such as Lenskart.

What sets CUTM apart? 

Their model of Work-Study in which half of the study occurs in the field at collaborating eye hospitals and optical companies. This implies no heavy debt and job search after the graduation-students make money in the process of studying. Pros are mentored by faculty, many of whom have international qualifications through organizations such as the World Council of Optometry. The last highlights are community camps that screened more than 5,000 eyes in tribal areas last year, fitted free specs and 200+ cases that required urgent care. According to the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Deepak Kumar Sahoo, optometrists are not just degree holders, but change-makers who brighten lives.

Optometry Course at CUTM

To the future students of Bengaluru, Hyderabad or even elsewhere, the optometry course at CUTM can be the gateway to high paying careers. The salaries begin between 3-5 lakhs per year and can reach 10 lakhs in case of experience. The eyewear market in India has reached 25,000 crore (estimated to increase 15 percent annually) and the demand is soaring. Either looking at private practice or research, this field is stable and influential.

On this World Optometry Day, CUTM restates its commitment: a brighter and clearer tomorrow to everyone. Register today through their site and become a part of the vision revolution. Good eyes today translate to a better India tomorrow.

The Maya Devi University has scheduled a Beekeeping Training and Apiculture Workshop at their School of Agriculture & Technology.

From Hives to Agri-Business

The workshop provides an understanding of how beekeeping has commercial potential. Participants will be able to turn their small-scale honey farming into an agri-business. The workshop provides an understanding of how beekeeping and honey farming support sustainability.

Honey farming only needs basic equipment and land space, which is advantageous to rural entrepreneurs. The training also helps students and farmers grasp the market need for natural and organic honey products.

Why University Workshops Matter

The gap between knowledge and practical skills is filled by such training programs. Students studying agriculture benefit from the training as they can apply the knowledge gained to real-life situations after graduating. Farmers also benefit as they learn new ways to support their families.
