Thiruvananthapuram, March 13:
There is a need to ingrain among students management skills relevant to
the State, KM Chandrasekhar, Vice-Chairman, Kerala Planning Board, has
said.This is best achieved by exchange of ideas between educational
institutions and the industry, he said while speaking at a function at
Asian School of Business.The occasion was launch of the student chapter of Trivandrum Management Association (Trima) at the school.
Students may also get the opportunity to value-add their skills through the tie-up, Chandrasekhar said.Managements need to get exposed to ideas generated locally as well those
generated abroad. This will help them add new dimensions to own skills.AS Suresh Babu, President, Trima, said that this would be its first
student chapter. Evening lectures and training programmes are envisaged
as part.Trima is also discussing with other institutions in Thiruvananthapuram
and elsewhere in the State the possibility of setting up more such
chapters, he added.
