- Q
- Sir, in these days when life is viewed as a rats' race by several people, why don't you try to include philosophy (comprising ethical values, spiritual laws of success, etc) as a core subject right from schooling to higher education, along with languages?

- The education between the age of five to seventeen is very important phase in character building among the children. This foundation is to be made by the parents and teachers. During this period I have suggested inclusion of one hour class every week on ?elevating the human minds.? As an example this class can discuss the personalities such as Buddha, Confucius, St. Augustine, Kalifa Omar, Mahatma Gandhi, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln including some scientific personalities and moral stories linked to our civilizational heritage.
