Whatever the Knowledge Commission recommends would be implemented as and when they came, without waiting for the final report, he said.
A fair evaluation of educational institutions would be undertaken to help students. Importance would be given to skill-based development, he said and added that he would hold a meeting with the heads of his department, collegiate education and technical education in October to address problem areas.
The State was yet to get many facilities from the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Union Government.
