Minister Gadkari stated that technology knowledge will make our lives easier and also benefit farmers. Therefore, educational institutions should consider the idea of incorporating upcoming technology knowledge in various fields in the future. In order to transform knowledge into wealth by using knowledge and science, making India a world guru, it is necessary to bring technology knowledge to students. Research should be based on the needs and availability of resources. Coordinating with industries will contribute to teaching future technology in our universities, which will have a significant impact on the country's economic development.
Ethics, economics, and the environment are the three pillars of society and education plays the most important role in the sustainable development of society. Through the foundation of values acquired through education, we can strengthen our economic situation and build a prosperous society. Without acquiring knowledge, expansion in other fields in the future is not possible.
"In the Indian education system, emphasis is placed on providing education to a large population while maintaining its quality, in order to create well-rounded citizens in the country. Through the medium of history, culture, and heritage, our society has become enlightened. However, along with this, there is also a focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, science, technology, research skills, and successful teaching methods.
Education, through the dissemination of the thoughts of saints, training, and values, has made Indian society cultured. Our economy is rapidly growing and information technology and biotechnology have become fields where our youth have excelled. The knowledge they have gained in their college life has enabled them to contribute to the world. This credit goes to educational institutions, teachers, and families, as mentioned by Shri. Gadkari.
