She said, “In view of pending promotions, we sought the permission of the Council Chairman, who magnanimously granted approval – on behalf of the Council and subject to ratification – for the announcement of those who received positive external assessments and were promoted to the ranks of Professor and Associate Professor.  

“This is a well-deserved recognition of your dedication, resilience, and hard work. Your promotions not only reflect your individual accomplishments but also serve to showcase the University’s commitment to the academic development and progress of its staff.

“But this is just the beginning of what the world will expect from you in terms of advancing the course of knowledge, engaging in more groundbreaking research, and inspiring the next generation of scholars and leaders. This administration will continue to give you support and ensure that all those who merit such elevation get it as and when due.”
