“The Summit of the Future Kerala 2025,” a week-long festival hosted by JAIN (Deemed-to-be-University) in Kochi, aims to unite thought leaders, innovators, and policymakers to ensure a sustainable, hi-tech, and inclusive future. As a prelude to the Summit, a strategic luncheon was convened at Crowne Plaza on 16 January 2025 to brainstorm innovative views and recommendations among leading educators and institutional leaders. Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Summit is regarded as a movement rather than just another event. The Summit plans to create a networking experience among educators and thought leaders who inspire generations.

The discussions at Crowne Plaza focused on identifying challenges and proposing innovative solution. Dr. J Letha, the Pro-Vice Chancellor of JAIN (Deemed-to-be-University) Kochi, discussed how a meeting like this could create transdisciplinary education and evolve Kochi into an innovation hub. “To make a difference, one has to talk to the educators,” says Dr. Tom Joseph, Director of New Initiatives, JAIN (Deemed-to-be-University), Kochi.
