Calling for India to realise its potential and become a world leader in education, President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday stated that a large pool of talent was lying untapped in Indian universities.
The President asked vice-chancellors of Central Universities to make the institutions launch pads of innovative ideas and emphasised on the need for research. “India can be a world leader in education, if only we discover the will and leadership to take us to that pinnacle,” President Mukherjee said at the second Conference of V-Cs of Central Universities at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
“There is huge potential of these institutions which lies untapped. The brilliance of our scholars and the exuberance of young students is waiting to be channelised into positive action,” he said.
He called upon Central Universities to be the launch pads of innovative ideas and institutionalise structures that can identify ingenuous ideas and mentor them into viable products.dded.
