In his address, Nesar Ahmad, President of Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), New Delhi, said that the trend where corporate companies, industries and educational institutions work together is laudable. “Education should be in sync with the development taking place in the world. Besides academics, research projects are required in educational institutions,” he told the students.
Smitha H. Shetty, Managing Director of Fouress Engineering India ltd, Bangalore said the students can absorb knowledge and intelligence from education, but should pursue actions that will give them happiness. “Development of attitude is the key to excellence. Introspection is essential for the students to improve,” she said.
