Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 12 said that earlier students used to get “kitabi gyan” (bookish knowledge) but the New Education Policy will change that.
Speaking at the 29th Biennial Conference of All India Primary Teachers’ Federation in Gujarat, Mr. Modi said Google can give data and information but the role of teachers is to be the mentors of students.
“Earlier, we used to give just ‘ kitabi gyan’ to our students, but this will change with the introduction of the New Education Policy,” Mr. Modi said.
