The exigencies of the present situation demand an absolute commitment to the cause of social change and justice and not
only a peripheral or occasional interest (xiii) that the present generation of youth in the institutions of HE,
by and large, have been won over by a consumerist culture. They are indifferent to the plight of the poor and seem to have no worthwhile mission. They must be inspired to get involved as principal actors in the drama of social change and national
reconstruction. (xiv) that there is an imperative need to have a continuous dialogical
interaction between HE institutions and the people at the grassroots level in order to forge an unshakable symbiotic bond. that since the advent of multinationals, the nation is called upon to exercise an eternal vigilance. Institutions of higher learning in this respect can act as a watchdog so as to prevent any kind of cultural subversion, wastage of our precious natural resources
and degradation of our natural environment. (xvi) that our academics in HE through their writings, speeches, TV
appearances and various kinds of publications can disseminate scientific information and knowledge having a bearing on the practical life of the people and oriented to a rational, secular ethos. They must take out scientific knowledge from the
cloistered environment of the laboratory and library to the field. (xvii) that the scientific spirit must govern all the spheres of people's
life 3/4 production (agriculture, animal husbandry, industry) and consumption (nutrition, health, sanitation, housing, etc.). HE institutions can help accomplish this task through the organisation of exhibitions, fairs, streec plays, demonstrations
and social gatherings. (xviii) that institutions of higher learning should have active liaison
with business and industrial houses, voluntary organisations and multi-national corporations not only to mobilise necessary finances but also undertake welfare/development projects on their behalf. Such projects must ensure a groundswell of popular support through the full range of public cooperation/ participation from policy formulation stage to their implementation and evaluation.
