And there is so much people can consume in terms of wealth and require in terms of wealth.

As a preacher of mass education, he has also been working a lot to drive the country towards a better educational stature and make it a place where no one is ignorant or deprived of education. “It had to be a cause which was relevant to the country in terms of need. A critical cause in terms of need where you saw a gap between what could be and what it was. We concluded that if we could educate children better in our country, you would have better citizens. But importantly, we also realized that if you educate the girl child, when she grows up and starts a family, she has a smaller family, which is a huge requirement in terms of the growth of our population, which is more manageable. And three, again, if you educate the girl child, when she grows up and she starts a family, or looks after a household, she has much higher consciousness on primary health care,” he said about the importance of education in India and why his foundation works so hard to empower the country’s elementary education.
