On behalf of JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru, India, I extend warm wishes and greetings in welcoming esteemed colleagues and students to the symposium on ‘Impactful Education and Sustainable Development’ as a part of the celebrations commemorating 10 years of cooperation between Howard University, USA and JSSAHER. What a decade it was! It feels, just the other day the Howard University and JSS AHER have signed their memorandum of understanding and here we are! The vision and the values of both the universities have transcended into the student community inspiring them in sharing the openness in thoughts, respecting values, and harnessing the prowess of diversity for sustainable and optimised patient care. It is an academic delight to witness the young minds coming together and shaping tomorrow’s world. A world as imagined by Rabindranath Tagore, “Into the heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake”. I welcome you all for the celebration of a decade of collaboration. Feel free to meet and greet everyone you come across, share the ideas, perspectives, and sow the seeds of shaping a sustainable tomorrow.
