For him, its soul resided not just in mountains and rivers but in intellectual and spiritual values,\u201d Sinha said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor said the Dogra ruler did not simply govern Jammu and Kashmir but provided it with a new vision by strengthening its intellectual, cultural and spiritual foundations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaharaja Ranbir Singh did not merely rule Jammu Kashmir; he bestowed it a new vision, restructured it, illuminated it with knowledge and adorned it with cultural abundance. He left behind a legacy rich on material, intellectual and spiritual planes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sinha noted that the renaming of the university campus reflects the enduring relevance of the values and consciousness that Maharaja Ranbir Singh had ignited more than a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the youth to follow the ideals of the former ruler and play a leading role in building a safer and more prosperous Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur youth must embrace his expansive and humane values and contribute to nation-building. As today\u2019s Jammu Kashmir embodies Maharaja Ranbir Singh\u2019s foresight, this campus must reflect his ideals,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising the need to balance technological progress with human values, Sinha said society must aim to be technologically strong while remaining sensitive to human welfare.<\/p>\n<p>He called upon young people to contribute not only to India\u2019s development but also to global intellectual and moral advancement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndia, driven by human welfare, remains committed to world peace and shared prosperity. The time has come for India to reclaim its place in guiding a challenge-ridden world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting India\u2019s ancient traditions, the Lieutenant Governor said the country\u2019s civilisational journey combined scientific knowledge with cultural wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ancient civilisation never followed a one-sided path. One hand held science while the other preserved culture. We emphasised personalities blending the intellect of <strong>Brahmagupta<\/strong> and the wisdom of <strong>Gautama Buddha<\/strong>,\u201d he said, adding that the university campus should nurture such personalities.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor also assured financial assistance for establishing <strong>Gurukuls, Sanskrit Pathshalas and Ved Pathshalas<\/strong> in the region to promote traditional learning.<\/p>\n<p>Among those present on the occasion were <strong>Karan Singh<\/strong>, former Union Minister; <strong>Vishwamurti Shastri<\/strong>; <strong>Shrinivasa Varakhedi<\/strong>, Vice Chancellor of Central Sanskrit University; <strong>Kamal Kishor Mishra<\/strong> from the <strong>University of Calcutta<\/strong>; <strong>R.
