The Central and State governments should prioritise education and health sectors, said G. Viswanathan, founder-chancellor of Vellore Institute of Technology, giving examples of advanced nations’ successes.
At the inauguration of a seven-day camp of VIT’s National Service Scheme at Vandranthangal in Vellore on Monday, he said “For a family or society to develop, we need to provide education to all, which the Centre and State governments should do.”
Advanced nations are where they are today because they provide education to all. “For example, look at how Singapore, South Korea or Japan have become advanced countries. It happened only because they concentrate more on education,” he said.
