Satnam Singh Sandhu, a Member of the Rajya Sabha and Chancellor of Chandigarh University, stated, “Education encompasses three essential components: curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities. While each component is vital, co-curricular activities play a particularly significant role in shaping a student’s future. These activities facilitate hands-on engagement with projects and address real-world challenges, offering experiential learning opportunities that traditional classroom instruction may not provide. In contrast to theoretical knowledge, co-curricular pursuits enable students to confront practical challenges and apply their learning in tangible contexts.”
