"We are in an era where every aspect of life has become as commercial transaction; even education is not an exception. Education must serve its true sense of the term “ Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye”, i.e. education is that which leads to liberation. It cannot just be the means to earn money, but the matter of fact is, imparting education and acquiring education both, have become the source of material gain only. And the driving factor in this process is greed. It is said that, there is always enough for a person’s need but never enough for a person’s greed. There should be a happy blending between occidental analytic approach and oriental synthetic approach. It is my firm conviction that a truly educated person will achieve the very goal of human life and simultaneously can earn one’s livelihood without much difficulty."
