convocation of SRM University near here. "My advice to you is create a
similar enterprise here. Create Microsoft here. Create an Apple. Create a
Google here in India.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And then own it and manage it," he said. "It is
most unfortunate that even after 65 years of independence, we have not focused
on education. As a nation, we should focus not only on individual progress or
economic progress, but also nation building," he said.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He noted that 65 per cent of people in India are aged below
35 years. Observing that knowledge would be the biggest bridge between
education and nation building, he said it is sad that no university in India
has attained top global ranking status.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"What is lacking we have to identify and work upon
it." Knowledge is also the "most potent tool" to fight poverty,
he said, adding there was "no reason" why India should lag behind
other developed nations.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"We have the brightest minds. We have a number of
philosophers. Why should be there only few SRMs?", he asked. Stating that
private enterprises are more eager to play in the education sector, he said,
"I am quietly convinced that we should give them a free hand."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"That is why I recently said IITs and IIMs should be
there in every state of our country", he said. Pointing out that skill
development is the need of the hour, he said "if there is no skill, there
will not be employment." Modi later awarded certificates and degrees to
about 10,290 students of SRM University.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
