Productivity in education is a must, said the president and further revealed that by creating enough jobs for the youth, India will be able to retain content, refinement and perfection. He further added that an opposite scenario can trigger depreciation in the market.
With machines replacing human labor, there is a need to redefine the way we look at the market. Stating that fact that many Indian professionals working abroad are willing to come back, the President also said that we must convert the ‘brain drain’ into ‘brain rain’.
The President emphasized the need to internationalize the educational institutions in India so that students can get better exposure and globally recognized education. This will create better job opportunities for students and will also make them more employable, further resolving the unrest in the educational institution.
