Mahatma Gandhi joined the discussion thrice
Nonviolence Day was being celebrated at the United Nations Headquarters. During this time the old oral views of Mahatma Gandhi on education were shared. A special life-size hologram was arranged for this. Mahatma Gandhi had joined the discussion thrice through this hologram . Let us tell you that during the discussion, he shared his message by standing and sitting on the chair.
What ideas did Mahatma Gandhi give in the discussion?
His earlier oral views on education were shared. Mahatma Gandhi said that literacy is not the end or even the beginning of education. By education I mean all round communication of excellence in the body, mind and soul of the child or any individual. By spiritual training I mean the education of the mind.
Also another idea was given. We hardly give any thought to improve the character of educated people. Schools and colleges are actually a factory to produce clerks for the government. On the contrary, real education consists in bringing out the best in oneself. What can be a better book than this. Could there be anything greater than the Book of Humanity?
