Pernem: Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu appealed to the country’s educational institutions to begin more multi-disciplinary programmes that are in high demand in the 21st century.
“I am happy to know Goa is performing well in the field of higher education and the gross enrolment ratio for women is 30% in the state as compared to the national average of 27.3%. In Goa, there are more female students than male. This is a very positive trend. It must continue and must be encouraged. This must serve as inspiration to other states,” Naidu was quoted as saying by The Times of India on Thursday.
The vice-president said that segregation of subjects is a thing of the past as the world is increasingly adopting a multi-disciplinary approach. “Economy-wise no sector of the economy works solo and therefore equal importance must be given to humanities even in science and technology institutions and more multi-disciplinary courses must be started by all colleges and this is my advice to all education institutions,” Naidu said.
