Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has urged higher education institutions to bolster the traditional economic system with scientific innovations that could rejuvenate several ailing industries.
He also exhorted institutions to adopt a holistic approach in education that equipped students with not merely the knowledge required to cater to the immediate demands of the job market, but also skills that are necessary to keep up with emerging trends that could shape the future.
He was speaking while formally launching the Connect Career to Campus (CCC) campaign spearheaded by the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission (KKEM) here on Tuesday. The programme aimed at creating awareness in campuses about Industry 4.0 jobs and the changes in global job markets.
