Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu has called for imparting value-based education, with emphasis on Indian culture and heritage.
“Education is meant for empowerment, enlightenment and employment, and not mere acquisition of degrees and certificates,” said Mr. Venkaiah Naidu while addressing a public meeting at the diamond jubilee celebrations of Sri Patibandla Seetharamaiah High School, here on Tuesday.
Deploring the commercialisation of education, Mr. Venkaiah Naidu said education and study of medicine were treated as noble missions in the past.
