Academic conferences organised in educational institutions must focus on outcomes that can have an impact on the society, said M. Krishnan, Vice-Chancellor, Madurai Kamaraj University here on Friday.
Addressing the gathering at the inauguration of 41st All India Criminology Conference organised by the Department of Political Science at MKU in collaboration with the Indian Society of Criminology (ISC), he said that academic conferences, often organised with public money, must not just be avenues for gathering and deliberation. Highlighting that the three-day conference on criminology had chosen an apt theme of 'Prevention of crime and control strategies in contemporary world and way forward,' he appealed to the organisers and delegates to come up with a set of recommendations to the State and Central governments.
Welcoming the suggestion, Tamil Nadu Minister for Revenue R. B. Udhayakumar, who inaugurated the conference, said that the State government will be receptive to the recommendations made by the academicians participating in the conference.
Stating that ensuring law and order was crucial for development, he said proper maintenance of law and order was a major contributing factor for Tamil Nadu in attracting huge investments in the recently concluded Global Investors Meet.
Arvind Tiwari, president, ISC, in his address, stressed on the need for holistic efforts to control crime, considering the different types of crimes and the complications involved in tackling them.
Beulah Shekhar from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University and Riyaz Ahmed N. Mangoli from Rani Channamma University received award from ISC for their contribution to the field of criminology.
