New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the National Education Policy (NEP) is aimed at fulfilling Dr Radhakrishnan’s vision of education that frees and empowers the student to participate in national development. Education management should be undertaken keeping whole world as a unit but also, focusing on Indian character of education, the PM said.
PM Modi said these while addressing the Association of Indian Universities’ 95th Annual Meet and National Seminar of Vice-Chancellors through video conferencing on Wednesday, according to a PIB release.
On NEP, the PM said that every student has certain capabilities. These capabilities pose three questions before the student and the teacher. First, what they can to do? Second, what is their potential if they are properly taught? And, third, what they want to do?
The answer to the first question is the inner strength of the students. However, if institutional strength is added to that inner strength, their development will get expanded and they will be able to do what they want to do.
Talking about the growing demand for skills in the emerging Aatmnirbhar Bharat, PM Modi said that India is being looked upon as future centre of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, big data, 3D printing, Virtual Reality and robotics, mobile technology, geo-informatics, smart health care and defence sector.
The Prime Minister launched four books related to Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar — Dr Ambedkar Jivan Darshan, Dr Ambedkar Vyakti Darshan, Dr Ambedkar Rashtra Darshan, and Dr Ambedkar Aayam Darshan — authored by Kishor Makwana.
Governor, Chief Minister and Education Minister of Gujarat and Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ were among those present on the occasion, which was hosted by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University, Ahmedabad.
Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to Bharat Ratna, Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar on his birth anniversary and said that his Jayanti during the period when the country is celebrating Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav, gives us new energy.
