Dr Gautam Ghosh(advocate)

The importance of knowledge and learning has been recognized since the beginning of time. Plato wrote If a man neglects education he walks lame to the end of his life. But it was really the Nobel winning economists that put the argument of education as investment. T.W. Schultz argued that investment in education explains growth and Gary Becker gave us the Human Capital Theory.In a nutshell the Human Capital Theory posits that investing in education has a payoff in terms of higher wages. Moreover the theory and empirical estimates are backed up by current science as explained by James Heckman.Under circumstances it is understandable that today every Indian must be educated .Education has to reach every Indian when he or she cannot reach the door of the University for his or her pre occupations which may be for bread and butter . s drgautamghoshpersonal.blogspot.com 2019 10 prime-minister-narendra-modiji-distance.html m 1
