Education system must be in highest order: President Mukherjee

President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday said that the education system must be in highest order.

While delivering centenary speech at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) this evening, President Mukherjee expressed concern about lack of quality education.

He called upon all governments and private bodies to include education as Gross National Priority.

While lauding the role and vision of BHU founder late Madan Mohan Malviya for his vision to establish a university with excellence, President Mukherjee underlined his concern for quality education in Indian universities and colleges.

He said only two Indian institutions were able to find a place in world class ranking.

Reiterating his feeling for world class education and research works, he said that very minimal of our GDP is being spent on research especially fundamental research works.
