00:00Unfortunately, in this conference, state universities are not participating, because they have informed
00:08me, even in writing, that they have been warned by the state government not to participate.
00:13As of now, one of our vice chancellor is in Purisa station.
00:17Some vice chancellor have reached Uti, and something unprecedented happened which never
00:22happened before.
00:24There was a midnight knock at their doors, where the secret police, a special branch
00:31of the state, went and told them, if you participate in the conference, you will not be able to
00:35go home and meet your family.
00:38I advise them, take care of your family, don't jeopardize their interest.
00:46I wish good sense prevails, because essentially, this conference is meant to improve the quality.
00:52There is no politics involved in it.
00:55And it has been showing result.
00:56But perhaps people, those who are in the government, that they fee for them, it is not something
01:02which is a comfortable situation.
01:04This is the fourth in the series that we started.
01:08In 2021, in the course of my visit to universities as a chancellor, when I met the students, including
01:19the gold medalists, I found their aspirations very low.
01:27And then the gold medalists were aspiring to get somehow a government job, Class II, Class III.
01:36It was not a comfortable scenario.
01:41And then we studied the education system in our state, and then we came to know that we
01:51have a two parallel streams of education in our state, one vertically going up, other one
02:00in progressive decline.
02:04School education, our ASA report year on year tells us that how the private schools have been
02:12doing excellent, the government schools are on steady decline, somewhat so that more than
02:18half the students in a government school in high school cannot read even a Class II textbook.
02:27More than half the students in government school cannot recognize two-digit numbers between
02:3411 and 99.
02:39And then we find that its continuation is even in the state universities, in the higher education.
02:47We needed to improve the quality.
02:50When we checked up, we found that our state, of course, we have one of the highest gross
02:59enrollment ratio, over 50%.
03:05We also have the fact that our state universities produce more than 6,500 PhDs every year.
03:13That's a very impressive figure indeed.
03:16But the other side of the story is that of the 6,500 plus PhDs, not even 1% is net GRF qualified.
03:27We know what is net GRF qualified, because that is UGC, that determines the eligibility mandate, whether the scholar is intellectually eligible to take up the research.
03:43When we found a situation which was not very comfortable.
03:48When we found that our PhDs were doing menial jobs, even cleaning jobs, not that the cleaning
03:56is bad, but the fact that after PhD, if you do the cleaning job for 14,000, 15,000 rupees,
04:02it is something which is not a very happy situation.
04:06And then we thought, what, why it is so?
04:11There are various constraints, among the constraints, we thought, with all these constraints, not
04:17with the standing, how do we improve it?
04:20Then we realized that our universities, our state universities, they were not even talking
04:25to themselves.
04:26They were all working in silos, run by the secretariat.
04:33Then we thought, let there be a fusion, let there be a meeting of minds, because that
04:37is how the knowledge grows.
04:39Because on the one hand, we find that the deemed to be universities, autonomous institutions
04:44are every year, year on year, breaching the new marks of height in excellence.
04:51More than a dozen of our institutions deemed to be universities and autonomous institutions
04:56are among the top ten in NIRF ranking.
05:00Unfortunately, not a single one from the state universities.
05:04Our Madras University, which was once known to be the premier university in the country,
05:09among the top five, today it is nowhere in the reckoning.
05:14This steady decline has a social consequences, consequences for social justice.
05:23Because it is the students from poor communities, Dalit communities, marginalized communities,
05:28those who cannot afford to go to the private, they go to these institutions.
05:33And if this is their fate, that on the one hand we keep producing degree holders and PhD holders,
05:39on the other they are worthy of nothing, it is, in fact, it is perpetuating the discrimination.
05:47So this we have started in 2022.
05:50And I am happy to inform you that there has been a significant progress, noticeable progress.
05:57Because there is a lot of talent, a lot of scholarship in the deemed to be universities,
06:03autonomous institutions, they started coming with the hand-holding.
06:06And our net GRF number also started improving.
06:10In terms of intellectual property, though we were producing thousands of PhD,
06:14but there was no IP, there was no patent.
06:17What kind of research there were?
06:19Now, with the help, that also started improving.
06:22And it was moving towards a win-win situation.
06:27We have also sessions about how to efficiently manage university finances.
06:33Because our universities are in a very, very bad situation.
06:37Many of the universities, they have not paid salaries to the teachers for last several, several months.
06:42And government has said that they are under no obligation to give them, to bail them out.
06:48This has been the situation.
06:50All right.
06:53We've been in a veryей closure on 310- tienΩ,
07:06In your English Online Scholarship,
07:09We've gotten more attention at this time.
07:11Have a nice dayりました.
07:13In your history of Atlanta and France.
