Lucknow. Kashi is also called the city of salvation because knowledge is the only way of salvation for us. That is why the churning of education and research, of learning and understanding, when the main center of all learning will be in Kashi, then the nectar emanating from it will surely give a new direction to the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said these things on Thursday at the inauguration of Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Samagam in Varanasi. In the program, he said that this event of Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Samagam is being organized on that holy land, where such an important university of the country was established before independence. This meeting is taking place today at a time when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of its independence. The great responsibility of fulfilling the nectar resolutions of the country during the Amrit period rests on our education system and the younger generation.
He said that education has to be taken out of narrow thinking. There is no dearth of talent in the country. The country will get a new direction with the implementation of the National Education Policy. Before independence education meant jobs, after independence there was little change. There is a concept of arts in education. My Kashi is an example of this. This center of knowledge was not only because of teaching, Gurukul, but because of its multi-dimensionality. We have not only to prepare degree holder youth, we have to give new opportunities to the youth according to the interest, skill and talent of the youth. The new world is getting ready to build a new India. Now the doors which were closed earlier for women and daughters are open. Today the participation of women has increased in various fields. We have to inspire the youth with their ideas to fly freely.
The focus of the new education policy is on talent – PM
He said that the focus of the new National Education Policy is on talent. It is opening the way to study in mother tongue. After 2014, the number of medical colleges increased by 55 percent. The country will become the center of global education under this policy. It is necessary that the education system should be at international standards. I am happy to share that the number of universities in the country is increasing in the World University. He said that new ideas of the youth of the country should be linked with new schemes. Today proof with results is necessary.
UP implemented the new education policy effectively- CM
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the National Education Policy is effectively implemented in UP. Work has been done to take this policy forward in all 30 government universities and 35 private sector universities of the state. He said that this policy is working to open the doors of knowledge from all directions. I am sure that the nectar of knowledge will emerge from the three-day churning here. He said that in the Corona epidemic, PM Narendra Modi has done an important job of saving livelihood along with bringing a new education policy to advance the new India.
