Dr. Rajeev Pandya, Chief Human Resource Officer at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital in Udaipur, shares a profound perspective on the true meaning of education that has stayed with him since childhood. When he was in the seventh or eighth grade, his teacher shared a memorable story. The teacher's son, who was preparing for competitive exams in Jaipur, wrote a letter home. He was reading many books but was confused about how to define education for his exams.

His father replied with a deeply meaningful definition that he crafted himself. Dr.Rajeev Pandya remembers these exact words even today. The father wrote that education is neither a slave of power, nor a daughter of law, nor a friend of science, nor a gatekeeper of art.

Instead, education states that humanities and social sciences are its feet. Science and logic are its eyes. Enthusiasm and industry are its lungs, and history is its eternal breath. The father explained that by embracing this true essence of education, students can fulfil their aspirations and achieve their goals.
