Indian knowledge systems today have become more relevant than ever, especially in providing solutions to current global challenges, Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in Thanjavur on Sunday.
Speaking at the 36th convocation event of Sastra University, Pradhan said, “We have inherited a great civilisational legacy from our greats like Charaka, Sushruta, Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Nagarjuna and Thiruvalluvar that led our education system to solve global challenges.”
Pradhan said that the magnificent temples of Tamil Nadu are wonders of the world as well as reminders of the fact that India was the cradle of civilisation.
