Edu must lay foundation for a society grounded in ethics: VP

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu Sunday said education must lay the foundation for developing a society that is strongly grounded in morals, ethics and value systems.

He said education should make students think innovatively and come out with bright solutions to overcome challenges.

According to an official release, the vice president also suggested, "Our education system should focus on our traditional crafts, arts and the way we preserve and protect local varieties of seeds."
Addressing the students of Dr D Rama Naidu Vignana Institute of Rural Development and members of the Vignana Jyothi Society here, Naidu said, "We can transform our students from being job seekers to job creators by building the proper ecosystem for imparting skill-based training in every higher educational institution."
