Often the education has to play the role of reformer of the society and that time has come now, he said.

Prof. Geeta Gandhi said that we often ponder over methods of teachings but never conjure about the contents and relevancy of teaching that content. We have to be innovative about the education and take up such educational methodology which can prepare future leaders and not the clerks. We have to take education out of classroom and associate it with life and instil so much self confidence into students that can enable them to face the challenges of tomorrow, she said.
