Pointing to the advanced digital technologies and social media platforms spreading information in abundance, Vice-Chancellor of Central University of Andhra Pradesh, Anantapur, S.A. Kori has said that information cannot simply be equated as researched knowledge.
“Social media platforms and electronic media have spread information freely. Our youth are excited by this and behave in such a way that they have digested the knowledge. This kind of information may be termed superficial awareness, not researched knowledge. We need to go deep into the source of information, unearth its essence and message and then present it to contemporary society. We must discover knowledge from all spheres of life – science, literature, culture and folklore. Let noble thoughts come from all sides,” he said.
He was delivering the convocation address at the 32nd Nudi Habba at Kannada University, Hampi, on Wednesday.
