Need for improving education system: Rajnath

    Your excerpt of the speech of Mr. Rajnath Singh ji is worth praising. If it is a part of the speech of Hon Rajnath Singh ji during his address to the Principals at the PHD house,New Delhi on 17th October 2014 during the International Principals Conference, it it had been an excellent speech. This speech may establish a strong basis for the upcoming educational policy of our nation.
    Can you send me the video of the entire session at PHD house as I want to preserve this speech.
