He insisted on the need for continuous improvement in knowledge creation to assure quality in higher education.

Mr. Ravi also advised them to ensure quality in recruitment of faculty. “The presentations were part of the briefing about the universities and their achievements,” the release said.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
