We need medical colleges that can cure corruption: Kapil Sibal

Speaking as the chief guest during the convocation ceremony of Dharamsinh Desai University (DDU), Nadiad, on Tuesday HRD and telecom minister, Kapil Sibal, called for the urgent need to restructure the entire education system.

Addressing the graduating students, Kapil Sibal expressed his concern towards the growing greed and corruption in the country and asked the education fraternity to incorporate the value of hard work. "India has become a nation of holidays. The country needs hard workers, who enjoy work, rather than holidays," said Sibal.

Stressing on the need to restructure the current education system, he said that it is high time we addressed education quality and faculty accountability. "It's time for students to ask questions. It's also time to change how we teach and learn."

In reply to union minister for mines and minerals Dinsha Patel's request for permission to open a medical college in Nadiad, Sibal, in a shot at the epidemic of corruption, said, "We now need medical colleges which can cure corruption in the country."
