Universities should aim at Nation Building
Education should not be for job-creation alone: Bharathiar University VC
Coimbatore: Universities are not meant for producing only technically qualified and professionally competent graduates. They should instil in the youth compassion, character and capability, generate community concern and aim at nation building, G. Thiruvasagam, Vice-Chancellor of the Bharathiar University, who assumed charge couple of months ago, tells G. Satyamurty.
"It is unfortunate our academic institutions are acting only as information providers. The system is also such and the reason is obvious. Instead, higher education should go in for knowledge building."
