While I appreciate the focus on traditional knowledge, I hope the university maintains proper academic standards and doesn't become just another commercial venture. Quality education should be the priority.

Integrating ancient Vedic knowledge with modern science is the need of the hour. This is what true 'Make in India' should be about - reviving our indigenous knowledge systems with contemporary relevance.

The holistic approach mentioned here - individual development leading to nation building - is profound. Wish more educational institutions followed this philosophy rather than just chasing placements and rankings.
