The country should rediscover the ancient Indian model of education, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said here Tuesday.
He was speaking after inaugurating the "World Parliament of Science, Religion and Philosophy" at the MIT World Peace University here.
"I think the country should go back to the age-old education system and preserve the culture and heritage, and that is the need of the hour.
"We have had enough copying of the western model...there is nothing wrong in taking any model, but at the same time, we should never leave our ground as the Indian age-old education system is time-tested," Naidu said.
A union of science and spirituality was needed, he added.
Saying the present lifestyle was all about "instant" everything, he said, "We must go back to the old values...we must perform yoga."
