 Friends, India has a rich legacy in science, technology and innovation. Our scientists have done path-breaking research. Our tech industry is at the forefront of solving global problems. But India wants to do more. We look at the past with pride, but want an even better future. For this, India is building on the basics. Who knows better than all of you that to develop at a scientific pace, what can be better than a child? Today, in the education system of India, structural reforms are being carried out so that the books can move forward and increase the spirit of inquiry. After three decades, the country has got a national education policy. The focus of this policy has changed. First, the focus was on the outlets, now it is on the outcomes. First, the focus was on the education of textbooks, now it is on research and application. The new national education policy is also focusing on creating such an environment so that a pool of top quality teachers can be created in the country. This approach will help and encourage our new and advanced scientists.
