In a first of its kind, members of the faculty from the Indian Institute of Management, Trichy, will give leadership training to 20 vice-chancellors of state universities from December 19 to December 20.
The vice-chancellors will also collectively involve in building ‘Vision 2030’ for the state universities.
The VCs’ conclave, ‘Chancellor’s Vision 2030: Innovating Tamil Nadu State Universities in the Era of Industry 4.0’, will be held at Raj Bhavan in Ooty.
Besides IIM faculty, an industry leader is expected to address the vice-chancellors on the theme ‘what universities teach and what industry wants’.
A person involved in preparing new education policy will explain the key aspects to the vice-chancellors.
Other topics that will be covered in the conclave include: leveraging technology in higher education institutions and universities, governance, management and leadership in the era of industry, employability, lifelong learning, leadership exercise, and vision building.
“This is the vision of the chancellor and governor Banwarilal Purohit on how to take Tamil Nadu universities to next level,” an official said.
“There will be leadership exercise, vice-chancellors will build vision 2030 so that Tamil Nadu varsities can be the role model for other universities in the country,” said Bhimaraya Metri, director, IIM, Trichy.
The conclave will also focus on issues that will affect university and its leadership structure in the context of emerging new technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence and internet of things.
“We are redefining the role of universities in the era of industry. Roles are going to be changed as and when new technology comes. Repetitive jobs are going to automation and robots will take up those jobs. New jobs are going to emerge. Whether our universities are ready to equip our students to take up all those challenges will be addressed,” he said.
“Other focus areas will be on how to change the mindset of faculty members so that we can align universities to new changes,” Metri said.
