Trichy: There is a need to reorient syllabus and teaching methodologies in educational institutions to train students at par with industry requirements, Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu has said. Addressing the 21st convocation of Srimad Andavan Arts and Science College, Thiruvanaikoil on Saturday, he said institutions must lay greater emphasis on skill development and establish industry linkages. This would give students first-hand experience of working in an enterprise and at the same time cultivate the spirit of entrepreneurship.
He appealed to students to protect nature and preserve culture for a better future. “When I crossed the river Cauvery, I noticed water flowing on the river. I got down from the vehicle breaching the protocol and went to the bridge side and saw the water and I felt very happy. Because water is our life, rivers are life. Unfortunately, because of neglect all rivers are drying and dying,” the VP said adding that the time has come to rejuvenate and connect all rivers. For the past few decades, people have been seeing the adverse impact of global warming and climate change. People have tinkered with nature for too long and now they are experiencing the impact of nature’s fury. Despite being a perennial river once upon a time, Cauvery is not flowing, he said. “Water problem will be a severe problem for the whole world. So, we have to find ways how to use, reduce and reuse water. Rainwater harvesting system should be part of our education system”, he stressed. Former chief election commissioner of India N Gopalaswami, chairman of national executive committee of Andavan Ashram R Rajagopal, college secretary C A Ammangi, correspondent V Balaji and principal, staff and students attended the event.
