“As per NEP, education institutions must strive to make efforts to introduce multidisciplinary, critical thinking and out of box approach to make students future ready. It is important to achieve breakthroughs in science and technology and cater to the educational needs of the lower strata of society,” the President said.
Expressing concerns over Indian universities not figuring in the global university rankings, the President said that the nation has to build universities that are also globally comparable.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who was also present during the inaugural function, said, “World premieres are now looking at Bengaluru as the knowledge destination and not Delhi. It is important that education institutions work with principles of humanity and humility and make the best use of opportunities like RUSA to create a temple of knowledge.”
