Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu called upon the universities and educators to re-evaluate the education system to make it more value-based, holistic and complete. Addressing the 13th e-convocation of ICFAI University, Sikkim, through video-conferencing today, the Vice President asked the educators to take inspiration from the holistic Vedic education and understand the vision behind New Education Policy.
Giving the example of climate change, Mr. Naidu said the holistic solution to combat the challenge should include a value-based education that respects nature. He stressed the need to equip engineers and technologists to create new defences and come up with innovative solutions.
Hailing the New Education Policy, Mr. Naidu said it envisages the age-old and time tested Indian ideals which aim at making India a “Vishwa guru” once again.
