India poised to regain status of Vishwa Guru, says scientist

India is emerging as a world leader in the field of education. Higher educational institutions in the country are at such a juncture from where the country can go back to its ancient glorious days of prosperity, of scholarship, of inclusiveness and regain the status of a Vishwa Guru, V.S. Chauhan Director, International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, said in Belagavi on Wednesday.

He was delivering the convocation address at the Rani Channamma University.

Indian universities are places where students acquire new skills, essential domain knowledge and develop scientific temperament. These are places where teachers nurture the skills of students and shape them into responsible citizens. They have not only grown in number but also in terms of quality of education being provided, he said.
