‘Innovation does not come only from working in a laboratory’
Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, M. Jagadeesh Kumar has advised students not to confine themselves to the four walls of their classrooms or the laboratory but to go to areas of work and get first-hand information and gather innovative ideas from the ground.
“Our students should go to the areas of work and meet farmers, workers and other working people to get ideas from the ground. Innovation is very important. Innovation doesn’t come only from working in a laboratory. Many innovations have come from field visits and multidisciplinary studies, discussion and debates. There are many examples of problems getting solved through innovation,” Mr. Kumar said in his valedictory address that he remotely delivered during the second day of the two-day workshop on the implementation of National Education Policy 2020 (NEP-2020) at the Central University of Karnataka here on Wednesday.
The event was jointly organised by the Central University and the Centre for Educational and Social Studies (CESS), Bengaluru.
