 Chandy said this Wednesday after the weekly cabinet meeting.
 
 “Yes, all of us will be in the classrooms for a day at the IIM-Kozhikode. This was one of the items that we had listed out in the first 100 days of taking over in the state,” said Chandy.
 
 Asked what sort of activities would take place in the classrooms that day, the chief minister gave his characteristic smile.
 
 “Let us go first and then I will tell everything,” came his reply when probed further.

 "It would be a workshop mode where we are going to get the best in the business to speak to them,” added the director.
