: Although the country has made considerable gains in human development, it still grapples with illiteracy, barriers to secondary schooling, low-quality public service and gender discrimination, Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu saidFriday.
He was speaking during the platinum jubilee celebrations of Andhra Vidyalaya College of Arts, Science and Commerce here.
The vice-president said there should be renewed focus on gender equality and safety of women through gender sensitisation, and that sensitisation must begin at home, school and college.
He said, "Human capital is already the largest component of global wealth and is one of the most crucial and fast growing components of Indias wealth."
