PM-LD CHILDREN THREE LAST

On why Indians win Nobel prize only after they leave the
country, Singh said, "in India we do not have an atmosphere
where much importance is give to people who can think out of
box."
"The trend of questioning things has not been a part of
our education system and this is why we see that when Indian
children go abroad, they do much better in terms of education
and reasearch."
Singh recalled the first time he had met Jawaharlal Nehru
who had come to the Punjab university for the convocation
address. He was then teaching at the university.
"It was a most moving experience for me because he used
to talk to anyone who had the courage to walk up to him. It
was life's wish of many to touch Pandit Nehru's hand but his
security forces would not let that happen," he said. PTI
