Patiala, March 4 For newly-appointed principal of SGPC-backed Khalsa College, Patiala, Dharminder Singh Ubha, helping students stay away from drugs and inculcating in them the values of true religion are going to be areas of prime focus. Ubha took charge as principal on Monday.

Talking to Newsline, he said that the academic atmosphere of the college would be upgraded at the earliest. “Relations between the faculty and the students would be given sound weightage and once that happens the college would rise to a very high level”, he said.

Ubha has worked as a professor and the head of the Department of Business Management, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, for the past 17 years. He has been associated with many educational, religious, social and literary organizations in the past and has done a commendable job as an educationist.

Ubha revealed that his main priority would be increasing the existing facilities of research among students and the faculty. “Modern education is based on research and the country can only take a leap forward if the education system changes with the scenario”, he added.

Stressing on the need of ‘value-based education’, he said that the students should maintain an interest in their religion. Once that happens, quite a few evils prevalent in today’s society like drugs and female foeticide could be curbed. “Once the students know the dignity attached to religion, they would always choose the right path”, he claimed.

The management professor and now principal stated that he has been given a vital opportunity by SGPC in the field of education and would do his best to take the college to greater heights. “Khalsa College, Patiala has a good reputation and I will work hard to make the college a premier institution which not only imparts education but also instills humane values in its students,” he stated.
