On this National Education Day, we celebrate the transformative power of education and reflect on how it shapes individuals, societies, and entire nations. The day holds special significance as it commemorates the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a visionary leader and the first Minister of Education in independent India. His advocacy for inclusive and accessible education continues to resonate today, reminding us that education is the cornerstone of progress, fairness, and well-being for all.
The theme for National Education Day 2024, “Empowering the Future through Quality Education,” aligns perfectly with Symbiosis International University’s vision of promoting international understanding through quality education and its ongoing commitment to advancing education on a global scale. With a legacy of over 50 years of excellence, Symbiosis has long been a champion of internationalization, striving to make education accessible to students from all corners of the world. Through partnerships, global immersion programs, and a diverse student body from over 85 countries, Symbiosis continues to foster a truly global learning environment right here in India.
I’m particularly proud to share that on November 14, 2024, we will be inaugurating our first international campus in Dubai, a city renowned for its dynamic growth and progressive mindset. Over the years, I’ve witnessed Dubai’s impressive transformation, which has been powered by visionary leadership and an unwavering commitment to innovation.
Symbiosis is honored to be part of this transformative environment. Our Dubai campus, located within the Dubai Knowledge Park, will offer some of our most highly ranked programs, and we will soon be expanding to the Dubai International Academic City. Symbiosis is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders.
As we move forward, our focus will remain on ensuring that quality education is accessible to all, regardless of their background or financial means. Through our scholarship programs, internships, and active industry partnerships, we are equipping our students with the skills and knowledge they need to contribute meaningfully to society and to their chosen professions.
Today, as we reflect on the significance of education, let us remember that it is the key to unlocking the potential of individuals, fostering innovation, and creating a more equitable world. Let us also celebrate the strides we have made, as we continue to build a future where education serves as a powerful tool for change and progress.
I am confident that Symbiosis International University will its journey towards creating a global knowledge community that embodies the vision of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”—the world is one family. Together, we can build a future full of opportunity, diversity, and shared progress.
