Dr. Devinder K. Kansal emphasizes the need for educational reforms focused on instilling balanced education, which nurtures truthful and selfless behavior, rather than mere skill training. He argues for the establishment of specialized departments to ensure efficient measurement and evaluation of educational quality, and advocates for opportunities to eradicate poverty rather than dependency on financial aid. Additionally, he stresses the importance of aligning higher education with national priorities and revising training courses to better serve diverse societal needs.
