Mr. Ramani's speech focused on the significance of Liberal Education with a multidisciplinary approach. He emphasised that a multidisciplinary undergraduate education is the need of the hour, offering innovative, transformative, and research-grounded educational experiences. This approach allows students to freely express themselves academically, inquire, learn, debate, innovate, and create a positive impact on the lives of those around them.

Mr. Ramani said “What is the purpose of education? Acquiring subject knowledge to score good marks and get into well known colleges and thereafter seeking jobs with a good CTC.  Further in  almost or less than two decades later get burnt out and stagnate? Ramani lamented the lacking of breadth of knowledge in today's education system. Earlier the approach in most schools and colleges was to enrich the students and develop skills based on each student's interest. Today, unfortunately the system has been turned into a factory where thousands get degrees but lack the skill and knowledge of English to get jobs. It has become a Business First Society.
