    their sights on an even more challenging goal: building

    world.
    • Universities are recognizing the importance of university-
    based scientific research in driving economic growth and
    to impart intellectual breadth and critical-thinking skills to
    solve problems, to innovate, and to lead.
    Challenges ahead

    • To create world-class capacity in education, the curriculum


    must be broadened
    • Need to focus on delivering quality education than
    numbers
    • Need to evolve Public Private Partnership (PPP) to meet
    the industry and market demand
    • Need refocus on emerging issues food security, climate
    change, emergency preparedness and eco–friendly
    technologies
