Industrialist Harsh Goenka said India should put scientists, teachers, doctors, innovators and other nation-builders on public hoardings instead of allowing billboards to be dominated by politicians and film stars.
Goenka made the remarks while highlighting how China has been putting scientists on giant public screens, contrasting it with India’s public hoardings, which he said are largely dominated by politicians and film stars. He argued that what society chooses to celebrate can influence what children aspire to become.
