01:10University a professor
01:15Personnel of the dais
01:18To discuss
01:20debate and
01:22deliberate on key issues
01:25faced by the higher education sector of
01:29Kerala in the contemporary
01:31situation in order to talk out plan of action for the future in
01:38today's rapidly changing world
01:41Higher education plays a critical role in shaping the minds and futures of over a young generation
01:48And it is our responsibility
01:51to see that our system is prepared to

04:14educational scenario with structural and pedagogical
04:19Changes that is why this government
