HELP OPEN MORE SCHOOLS IN BACKWARD AREAS, DR.
JOSHI TO INDUSTRY
The
Minister for Human Resource Development and Science and Technology
Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi has urged the industry, private sector
and NGOs to help open more schools in backward and semi-urban
areas. Without their participation, it will be difficult to achieve
the goal of education for all, said Dr. Joshi while inaugurating
a college of engineering and technology at Greater Noida, near
Delhi today. He regretted that the private sector and individuals
are only interested in opening more and more schools in the urban
areas with profit as the main motive. Any step/measure taken by
either the public sector or the private sector should lead to
societal benefit.
Speaking
at a function yesterday to mark the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan
having become a deemed university, Dr. Joshi urged the institution
to ensure that all its 10 branches become centres of excellence
in various disciplines with Sanskrit as the medium. He reiterated
the government’s commitment to popularise Sanskrit saying that
it is our ancient language which can throw light on various things,
now being revealed by modern science.
