Dr Desai spoke to the students and interacted with faculty after the launch of the program
Speaking about Industry-Academia Connect, he said, there is a lot more to be done. We are just taking baby steps in developing a strong connection. That is because of the lack of clear policy in strengthening ties between them.

During the program students will be treated as employees working in a temporary organization so that they are industry-ready by the time of completion of the Programme, said Dr V. Vishnu Vandana, Head of the Department, School of Management, Anurag University.
