Education the best gift parents can give to their child: Sidhu

Punjab's cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu today said education was the most vital aspect of a person's life and the best gift that parents could bestow upon their children.
Speaking at an award ceremony for edupreneurs - people involved in education start-ups - Sidhu said education was the pivotal force around which the society revolved.
"Education is the most vital aspect which should occupy the centre stage in a person's life and it's the best gift that parents can bestow upon their children," said Sidhu.
Laying emphasis on the significance of quality education, the minister said the main purpose of education was to make people self-sufficient and confident enough to shed the fear of failure and face the challenges of life head-on.

"A robust education system produces enlightened minds that bring glory to the nation," he said.
