Dharmendra Pradhan said - In future, you have to become a creator, not a job seeker
Employment News- Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said that we should use mother tongue for speaking. Mother tongue gives a sense of culture and rites, which is necessary for a bright future. Therefore, communicate with the children at home in the mother tongue as well. Naidu was addressing the centenary celebrations of Delhi University (DU). Calling for promotion of regional education and mother tongue, he said that for this provision of elementary education in mother tongue has been made in the new education policy.
Talking about India's global reputation in the field of education in the past, Naidu gave examples of universities like Nalanda, Taxila and Vikramshila. He said that we have to become Vishwaguru. But, it is not our aim to capture anyone. Universities should become centers of excellence, not just centers of education. We have to be among the best 10 institutes in the world.
The Vice President said that although everything is available in India, but still those who want to go out of the country should go there, learn and come back and promote research in India. The goal of research should be to reform, perform and transform, so that people's lives can be convenient and happy. That should be the aim of education. He asked DU to boost research and further improve its global rankings.
Special guest Union Minister for Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan said that only the names of ancient universities are in front of us, but there are very few institutions that have completed 100 years of age in the country, in which Delhi University is also one. Pradhan further said that in future we have to become job creators and not job seekers. The new education policy will connect India's education with its roots.
