“To create good administrators, this UPSC training centre will provide great opportunities to the youth.

Religious Texts to bind with satellites

“Like it is said, from the Upanishad to Upagraha (satellite)…. we have to launch satellites and also teach the Upanishad to make people sanskari (virtuous),” Rupani said, adding the centre will help create administrators for “new India”, giving opportunity to youth irrespective of caste, creed, religion.

State Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama said when officers, who are required to implement government policies, “get proper training in a religious environment”, they are better able to understand the plight faced by people while implementing them.
