The next 25 years, by the end of which the country will celebrate its 100th year of Independence, must be devoted to educating the masses, since they have contributed substantially to nation building and their taxes too went into readying public infrastructure, Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has said.
He said Swami Vivekananda had exhorted ordinary people to acquire knowledge so that no one would deny them their due. “The country’s decline began when we became unfaithful to our traditions and denied education to the masses and the so-called upper classes emerged,” said Mr. Khan, while inaugurating the valedictory session of a national seminar on ‘Indianisation of the judicial system: Indian Constitution – Inspiration, Aspiration and Reality’, organised by Amrut Mahotsav Organising Committee, Ernakulam, on Sunday evening.
