Jammu: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Saturday emphasized on promoting balanced education that teaches science, industry 4.0 technologies and also imparts value-based knowledge.
Speaking at the annual-day function of Sant Hare Ram Dass Public School at Mandal, the LG said success for students should not be a race of getting more marks but to achieve the abundant wealth of values in life.
“Apart from scientific and technological knowledge, we should also focus on value-based education, create an environment for individual growth,” he observed.
According to an official press release, on the occasion, the LG released a book titled “Himalaya Naardiya Antarang Bahirang Yog Sadhna” written by Shri Hare Ram Dass-ji Maharaj.
“We are living in the digital-age where we can learn anything through e-learning. But at the same time, there is a need to maintain a perfect balance between students and teachers for shaping the young minds through a value-based knowledge system,” the LG said.
Terming learning as a life-long process, the LG stressed on the need to encourage students as well the teaching community to have thirst for knowledge all along and lead the way for a bright future.
