Conclusions

  • Education not only equips an individual to earn his bread and butter but also broadens his intellectual horizon and enhances the capability of understanding. It instils a scientific temper and acceptance of others point of view.
  • History teaches us that whenever we remained united no power could subjugate us.
  • Divisive forces such as communalism, casteism, regionalism and linguistic fanaticism have asserted themselves causing disharmony.
  • Educate our people especially younger generation about unity. It is necessary that this education starts right from the primary school stage.
  • Cultivate progressive ideas, en-lightened principles and moral values in the young minds.
  • Present system of education is devoid of reality. Re-structure the curriculum bringing in the desired changes.
  • Utilize education as the strongest lever for ensuring unity and awareness of oneness.
