Therefore, the empowerment of the instructors assumes great significance. Further, the contemporary world has led to the emergence of several dynamic issues that prevent the exposure to human intellectuality, some of such challenges being artificial intelligence, misuse of technologies, ignorance of newly emerging IP rights, lack of digital documentation of indigenous knowledge, etc.
Such issues need to be addressed through the intellectual academicians maintaining the ethical aspects.
