Reading alone won't help build knowledge, experience will, says Central University V-C
He was speaking at the orientation programme for new postgraduate students for the 2025–26 academic year at the university on Thursday.
'Reading helps you progress in education, but you must also understand work culture, human behaviour, and how to build meaningful relationships. This learning happens not just in classrooms, but also by interacting with others. Discipline, commitment, and effort are essential. Without them, nothing can be achieved,' Prof. Satyanarayana told the students.
On career-building, the Vice-Chancellor urged students to prepare themselves for Viksit Bharat 2047 by becoming financially independent and contributing to the nation.
'Problems are part of life. We must face them instead of running away. Be strong and approach the authorities whenever you need help,' he advised.
Registrar Prof. R.R. Biradar assured students that a mechanism was in place to address their concerns and encouraged participation in cultural, sports, and competitive events. Stressing the importance of soft skills, he said that good communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership are crucial for securing jobs.
'Along with degrees, CUK provides platforms to develop these skills. Students should be disciplined, friendly, and career-oriented,' he said.
Dean of Student Welfare Basavaraj M. Kubakaddi said that university rules were framed with students' interests in mind and urged them to make the best use of the available facilities.
'The orientation marks the start of an important academic journey, familiarising students with CUK's academic environment, infrastructure, support services, and code of conduct,' he noted.
The event concluded with students taking a pledge for a 'Nasha Mukt Bharat' (Drug-Free India), administered by Lt. Dr. Ranganathan.

Poetry competitions to national anthem in sign language: How Noida marked Independence Day
Noida: It was a celebration of inclusivity. "We have only one student with a hearing disability. But why should we not stand even for that one student?" asked DPS Gautam Buddh Nagar principal Supriti Chauhan. Even as several schools and institutions celebrated Independence Day in unique ways, patriotism took on an inclusive hue at DPS GBN where over 700 students sang the national anthem while a portion of them simultaneously performed it in sign language. "Our interpreter teaches all other students the language so that no one feels excluded. This is the first time we arranged the anthem in sign language," the principal said.
