This change in the perception will greatly benefit the students," Sisodia said.
At the meeting, students, parents, and teachers also shared their views and feedback on vocational studies, its future in terms of employability, skill development, and the way forward.

The suggestions of all the students, teachers and parents will be very useful in helping us design the courses we can offer at the university," Sisodia said.
