VNUA Director Nguyen Thi Lan said for over 60 years, the university
has continually developed in terms of size, quantity and quality. At present,
it has nearly 1,400 staff members and more than 30,000 students, about 500 of
them are from other countries.
It has been recognised as a training centre of high-quality human
resources and an advanced research centre for agricultural
science-technology, economy and policies, and rural development of Vietnam.
She added that graduates of the VNUA has become an important
force contributing to the major achievements in agriculture and rural
development during the wartime in the past and the cause of reforms,
industrialisation, modernisation and international integration of the country
at present.
VNUA Director Lan noted the VNUA has taken the lead in reforming
the training targets, content and methods so as to create high-quality human
resources able to meet requirements of the actual agricultural development
and new-style rural area building while encouraging students’
entrepreneurship and innovation. It has also conducted many valuable
scientific studies to help Vietnamese agriculture to reach the regional
level.
Congratulating the VNUA on its successes over the last six
decades, General Secretary Trong expressed his hope that the school will work
harder to soon become a leading research university in the field of
agriculture.
The VNUA should step up scientific-technological activities to
boost training and serve agricultural production and society. Its researches
should be oriented towards prosperous agriculture, wealthy farmers and
civilised rural areas. They also need to help with agricultural restructuring
and developing smart agriculture that integrates into the world, adapts to
climate change, improves products’ added value and contributes to sustainable
development, he noted.
He also requested stronger connectivity between universities and
the localities they are situated in, adding that schools should have training
and scientific-technological activities serving local development while
authorities also need to support universities located in their areas.
The Party leader asked the VNUA to continue efforts to become an
exemplary agriculture university, adapt to the Fourth Industrial Revolution
and meet the human resources training demand in the new context.
At the VNUA, General Secretary Trong planted a tree in the
campus and visited a hall displaying hi-tech agricultural products of the
university.
