Educational institutions should not be limited to just graduation. In addition, they should not remain separate. As such, many initiatives have been implemented to bring modern enterprises closer to educational institutions. This would ensure that students have adequate training, skills skills and job qualifications he said,
Plans have been drawn up to get ‘Institution of Eminence‘ status to VTU. In addition, 30 engineering colleges in the state are being developed as global quality institutions under the `Super-30‘ project.
