We celebrate 8th September as World Literacy Day. In Indian culture, education is not only to equip ourselves with theoretical learnings but also to train our body, mind and soul so as to achieve all round development. Education should be aimed to achieve the spirit of tranquility and equanimity of mind both in physical world as well as in internal world. A balanced and comprehensive approach towards education will strengthen human being  to develop humanitarian values and peace in the world, which is the need of the hour today. Western education system appears to be incomplete and lacks comprehensive approach. Our enriched Indian culture and the value system has the strength  and capability to provide holistic education system.
