India to become a knowledge superpower: Union MoS Education

The Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar has said that the aim of the government is to make the country a global knowledge superpower.

Sarkar was addressing the 5th globalised education forum of the Indian Chamber of Commerce where he dwelt on the topic ‘Revisiting the idea of Internationalisation – global to local.’ “Our mission is to make India a superpower in the educational sector as the country has formulated a multi-disciplinary education system having an internationally relevant curriculum which will help in generating employment,” he said.

“Today, India has not only the potential to be the knowledge centre of the world with the highest number of educated youths, but it is the skill capital to take the country forward which can be accomplished by imparting education on a global scale,” the minister added.

Further highlighted that the National Education Policy 2020 will attract international students to make India a global hub, giving autonomy to faculty.
