The education system should support innovation among students: Pranab Mukherjee
Former President president Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday said that the education system of India needs to be re-oriented so that it can motivate students to take risks and think like innovators. Mr. Mukherjee, during his address at a special convocation ceremony of Techno India University said that the education system needs to be re-oriented so that it can help the students to achieve the practical goals. "In every sphere of our lives, the influence of science and technology is becoming so pervasive that human existence is simply inconsiderable in its absence," he said. "For students to become risk-takers and innovators, our education system needs to re-orientate itself to achieve necessary practical and technical goals," Mr. Mukherjee asserted during his address. Science and technology are all about risk-taking and failing, he added. "The most important tool that a person in a technical profession should possess is the power to think creatively and analytically. The selection process for students should be based on these criteria," Mr. Mukherjee, who was awarded Bharat Ratna last year, said. On the occasion, the university also announced the scholarship scheme named after the former president.
