Getting degree is a part of the education, not education in itself: President Kovind

Addressing the nation on the eve of 72nd Independence day, President Kovind said that getting a degree does not ensure that a person is educated but education is reflected by the quality of the person. “Achieving degree is not education, but it lies on enhancing the quality of a person,” said Kovind. The President also took the opportunity to highlight other important issues related to women and social conditions. “Women have a special significance in our society. They should have the freedom to choose their path, whether they want to use their skills in the development of house, in the workforce, or in educational institutions,” he said. He commenced his speech by talking about the importance of the 15th August. “August 15 is sacred for every Indian. Our tricolour is a representation of our nation. Independence of India was a result of the sacrifice of freedom fighters and ancestors,” Kovind said. Last year, during his Independence day speech Mr. Kovind talked about the importance of the education and technology in the lives of the individuals. He talked about India, which is progressing but as a compassionate society. “The New India should be a society which should be both developed and sensitive,” he had said.
