In this context, he called for upskilling the younger generations in tune with the 21st century needs.He advised the students to upgrade themselves with the latest technological developments.Naidu also suggested that in the spirit of New Education Policy, institutes should restructure themselves and bring in a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to education. The policy also targets reducing the burden of curriculum and attempts to bring about comprehensive development in the young student, matching international standards, he observed.Recalling India's glorious past in the field of education when students from other countries used to come to study at reputed institutions like Nalanda and Takshashila, the Vice President stressed the need to regain the past glory.Speaking about the importance of mother tongue, the Vice President underscored the need for connecting with one's own constituents through his/her own mother tongue. "People who elected us should know what we are talking about. That is why members should try to speak in their mother tongue as much as possible" he said. He noted that with mother tongue as a priority, the Rajya Sabha has now given an opportunity to speak in 22 languages and adequate facilities were provided for this purpose.In his speech, the Vice President praised late Narotham Reddy for his invaluable contributions to the education sector - as an administrator in Osma University, through his support for better pay scales for faculty and by arguing for upgrading universities' infrastructure and standards.
