Former President of India says ... “If the child misses the value based education of 25,000 hours in the school campus, no Government or society can establish a transparent society or a society with integrity. If the child misses the period of learning, the nation looses on enlightened citizen.” Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India
