IN THE PAST…
In the past too the Vice President has asserted that the Centre was committed in expanding the quality education sector in India. Observing that Indians sit in top chairs in various famous organisations across the world he has also said in the past that we cannot sit on the medals achieved and have to strive for higher goals. He has urged the educationists in the past to provide world-class education so that India becomes the most sought after hub of education in the world as well as the local students must be provided the same at best possible minimal price to not feel deprived of the facilities. And for this more and more business houses need to come forward to help….financially as well as for industry training and ideas exchange.
