'Education Needed for Development, But Must Be Bharat-Centric': Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said Bharat should develop its own models of development which the world can follow

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has praised what he called the "Bharatiya" idea of development which works in synergy with nature, while the Western model of development is all about conquering nature.

He said Bharat should develop its own models of development which the world can follow.

"Development is not possible without education, but this education should be Bharat-centric. We should take good ideas from around the world but never be blind followers. It is the responsibility of teachers to guide researchers for research which is based on the Bharatiya knowledge system," the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP's ideological mentor, said at the inaugural session of 'VIVIBHA 2024: Vision for Viksit Bharat', a three-day national researchers conference hosted by the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal - Yuva Aayam in Gurugram's SGT University on Friday.
