India’s inherent strengths, are its relatively young population, large domestic market and strong information and communications technology industry, which certainly puts it on a higher pedestal. Every year, India gives the world maximum number of Engineers and Doctors. There are huge number of people in India with huge professional knowledge in almost all the sectors, who can deliver much better results if they can collaborate and act. India is also rapidly developing in terms of Education by introducing new methods of teaching. India, more than any country, has vast potential to be a hub for Education. I have seen Indian Teachers in action with fantastic skills and expertise doing a better job than their counterparts across the world. A massive investment in education is the only best medicine that we must propose for the problems of illiteracy, over population, poverty, ineffective judicial system, pathetic politics and religious intolerance prevailing in our country. We at JHPS believe in the strength of education and strive to prepare students who can make the future of India bright in all aspects. A.
