Dr. Radhakrishnan's View on Education
“ Education should be imparted with a view to the type of society that we wish to
build. We are working for a modern democracy built on the values of human dignity
and equality. These are only ideals- we should make them living forces. Our vision of
the future should include these great principles.”
“The end product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against
historical circumstances and adversities of nature”.
