Activities
FVCK has been addressing the contemporary issues associated with higher education by conducting seminars, conferences, workshops and initiating dialogue with the active involvement of stakeholders of education since its inception. For instance, seminars on the functioning of autonomous colleges, private Universities, importance of genetically modified crops/foods and value chains have been well received.
The Forum has also initiated research projects, one related to the growth of Higher Education in Karnataka State, funded by Mysore University, in under progress. The Government of Karnataka has provided seed money to undertake various activities.
The cherished goal of FVCK is to "give back to the society" by strengthening the hands of the State Governments and institutions imparting higher education in their efforts to improve the quality, access, equity and relevance of education, be it in public or private sector.
Future Plans
It is the earnest hope of the Forum that the Government will find ways and means to utilize the services of the Forum to usher in the planned development of Higher Education in the State of Karnataka to global standards.
FVCK has plans to organize series of seminars, workshops, symposia, training programs and outreach activities for the benefit of Educational Institutions, particularly students, teachers, researchers and community.
Private Institutions can avail the services of FVCK in capacity building and improving the quality of education.
FVCK is willing to assist Higher Education Institutions to enable them to become Centers of Excellence and guide them in the process of evaluation, assessment and accreditation / ranking / rating beyond the borders of Karnataka.
