With advancing technology, the need is for more online courses that will help improve the overall quality of education, said Kris Gopalakrishnan, vice chairman of Infosys, while addressing the students of PSG Institute of Management at its golden jubilee celebration on Sunday.
Gopalakrishnan pitched in a few ideas that would help both the students and teachers.
“Today, the world is changing with advanced technology and the institute should play a vital role in providing a platform for online courses. A great number of courses can be conducted as per the need of the alumni to help students interact with the outside world thereby improving the quality of education that becomes more affordable and accessible,” he said, adding “This would help both the students and the individual as such.”

There is to be an international conference, industry conclave, a golden jubilee memorial cricket tournament, alumni meet and a management fest. A coffee table book on the college and and the stars of PSGIM is also in the cards as a part of the 50-years celebrations.
