Speaking at an event in Bhopal, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia highlighted the need for education to instil purpose and critical thinking, stressing the ability to ask meaningful questions over solely focusing on achieving personal success.
NEW DELHI: Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said that the meaning of education is not only to build a life, but to be able to build meaning into that life and develop the capability to ask questions. The Union Minister of Communication on Friday said that the cause of education is not only to be able to ask the question "how do I succeed" but is to be able to ask "how do I serve".
Scindia was addressing a gathering at the inauguration of UK-based Shrewsbury International School's 150-acre campus in Bhopal. The Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner to Western India, Harjinder Kang, also addressed the gathering.
