 Saturday, October 15, 2005 Education a major issue in India: Swraj Paul Charkhi Dadri (Haryana), Oct. 15. (PTI): India should take immediate steps to eradicate poverty and improve health and educational sectors if the country aspires to become a rightful member of the developed world, NRI industrialist and British MP Lord Swraj Paul said today. Visiting this remote hamlet in Haryana, the birthplace of his mother Moongwati Devi, Lord Paul said, "education is a major issue in India and the country's money should go into this sector. We must educate all our children." "We as a nation are improving, but more needs to be done. We need to concentrate on education, health and eradicating poverty to take a place in the developed world," Lord Paul told reporters after visiting Apeejay School and College, founded by his brother Stya Paul here. Lord Paul was leading a six-member British Parliamentary delegation to the village which "is a special place for me because I belong to this place." |
