    “As part of the state government’s proclaimed objective of raising the standard of education, SIET has embarked upon a series of new ventures to bring up promising students to a level of international reckoning. ‘Meet the scholar programme’ organised in association with the Kerala State Higher Education Council(KSHEC), envisages meeting and sharing of ideas by erudite scholars from foreign universities visiting university departments and colleges in the state with selected students from the government and aided schools in the vicinity”, Abu Raj said in his inaugural speech.
