Being part of the International Conclave on Next-Gen Higher Education was an inspiring experience for me and the Kiwi Research team. Held on January 14-15, 2025, and hosted by the Cochin University of Science and Technology, co-organized by the Kerala State Higher Education Council, the event brought together changemakers, visionaries, and key stakeholders in the education sector. The Kerala state government’s efforts and initiatives toward transforming Kerala into a Knowledge Society and Knowledge Economy are truly commendable.
A heartfelt thank you to CUSAT and the Kerala State Higher Education Council for organizing this incredible event with such precision and care. As an entrepreneur, I deeply value opportunities like these, which allow us to share ideas, collaborate, and contribute to shaping the future of education.
One of the most memorable moments for us was presenting our flagship programs, the Junior Researcher Programme and Junior Innovator Programme, to the Hon’ble Minister of Higher Education and Social Justice Dr. R. Bindu. These programs, designed to ignite curiosity and foster innovation among school students from grades 6 to 10, are close to our hearts. Sharing them with such a visionary leader was both humbling and motivating. We were thrilled when she expressed her appreciation for our vision and the potential of our programs. She even encouraged us to design and develop similar courses for college students.
This experience reaffirms my belief in the power of education to transform lives and underscores the importance of creating platforms for young minds to explore their potential. Thank you to everyone who made this event so meaningful.
