He was delivering a lecture at Farook College near here on Monday. It was organised by the Global Network for Economics Learning Innovation and Competence-Building System, Kerala State Higher Education Council, and the Kerala Economic Association (KEA).

Prof. Mammo Muchie called for learning and re-learning, designing and re-designing, and prioritising the well-being of humans and nature. Y.C. Ibrahim, coordinator, KEA Kozhikode chapter, was present.
