Students should be motivated to take up collaborative learning. This can only be possible if the government gives more freedom to educational institutions to create their own syllabus, A.K.

Delivering the convocation address at the Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Technology, he urged students and young graduates to concentrate on e-learning for knowledge creation.“Academic stature of higher education in India should be improved by providing all possible facilities to inculcate ideas in the young minds towards research and development. You can meet the present challenges only through innovative spirit and by enforcing discipline and competency at all levels,” Mr. Pattabiraman said.
