| Knowledge, character complementary to each other: Taj | | | JAMMU, Apr 6 : Terming knowledge and character as complementary components for making a successful personality, Minister for Medical Education, Youth Services & Sports, Mr. Taj Mohi ud Din today asked academicians and scholars to devise curriculum which blends the two concepts for the betterment of humanity and human civilisation.
Inaugurating a seminar organised by a private college here today, the Minister said attainment of knowledge should automatically lead to character building which would have far reaching consequences for the society. He said the aim and objective of imparting knowledge and education is not only to create an aware citizenry but also carve out charactered souls who would shape up the society of our time.
Many academicians and scholars from within and outside the State attended today’s seminar.
Mr. Taj asked the participants of the seminar to ponder over how to achieve the blend of character building and knowledge dissemination and not let the two concepts drift apart as has started happening in the West. Such a situation, he said, was described by Martin Luthar King several decades ago when he described the situation as that of guided missiles but misguided men. He said time has come when things need a re look and necessary changes are made to streamline human behaviour.
On the occasion, the Minister also released the annual college publication and also felicitated some academicians.
Earlier on his arrival, the Minister was accorded a traditional reception by the management, staff of the college and seminar participants. |
