Education is the most powerful weapon in the face of earth that can solve all problems and empower the nation in a growth trajectory. For a million problems, one and only solution is "Education." However, we lost the relevance in education and hence the lack of Higher Order Thinking Skills. What separates a human from a machine is the inherent human intelligence that each of us is blessed with and we are losing it big time. If we don't work on a mission to resolve this NOW, we will be in much deeper crisis going forward. The need of the hour is to bring back relevance & skills in education, make it meaningful, practical and one that brings all-round development of a human. In order to achieve this mission, all education leaders from pre-schools to universities and every educated parent should come forward, join hands genuinely and treat this more like a mission than like a business.

I believe in Mahatma Gandhi's quote - "By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and spirit." ~Mahatma Gandhi
