Karnal (Haryana) – H.H. Sarsanghchalak Mohanji Bhagwat, while speaking during the inauguration of a multi-specialty hospital in Atma Manohar Jain Aradhana Temple Complex in Karnal on Sunday, said, “Before the British rule, our country’s 70% population was educated and there was no unemployment. Whereas in England, only 17% of people were educated. They implemented their education model here and implemented our model in their country. Hence 70% of people in England became educated, while India was left with just 17% of its population educated.”

Sarsanghchalak further said,

1. The Indian education system was not only meant for employment but was a medium of knowledge. Many artists and scholars educated in this system are renowned in the world.

2. Education and medicine for everyone is an important need of a country as both have become very expensive. Common man should get education and medicine in a cheaper rate.
