President Droupadi Murmu Monday rued that not a single campus in the country ranked in the top 50 educational institutions of the world.
Addressing the 69th annual convocation of IIT-Kharagpur, the President said, “It is a matter of concern that not even a single educational institution of such a vast country with the world’s oldest knowledge tradition is among the top 50 educational institutions of the world. The race for ranking is not more important than imparting a good education. However, good ranking not only attracts students and good faculty from all over the world but also increases the reputation of the country. Therefore, I would like that IIT Kharagpur, being the oldest IIT in the country, should make efforts in this direction.”
