Mangalore, 25 Sep 2013: “There is strong relation between higher education and economy. By achieving success in higher education we will be able to strengthen economy as well. In India only 16 per cent of students are taking up higher studies. While in the entire world only 26 per cent take up higher studies. Other students are being deprived of this opportunity. There should be extension of higher education. A phase should come wherein equality and expertise will be established. Most of the students who have opted for higher studies often lack expertise. This will pose problem when they join their profession.” said Dr. Jancy James, vice chancellor, Central University of Kerala, Kasargod.

 

 

She was addressing the gathering after inaugurating UGC sponsored national workshop on ‘Changing Contours of Indian Economy,’ at Eric Mathias Hall, St Aloysius College (SAC) organised jointly by Department of Economics, SAC, Association of Mangalore University College Teachers (AMUCT).
