Today, it is difficult to predict the future. On one hand we are facing geo-political conflict in some areas of the globe, while on the other technology advancement is reaching its peak.

"We should not miss this opportunity and develop a futuristic roadmap that will lead the reforms in diverse sectors and establish India as a Knowledge economy. India regaining its old glory should be our prime goal," he said.

The Lt Governor also shared the transformation taking place in the education sector in Jammu Kashmir.
