The communities too should soldier the responsibility of lending a helping hand in endeavours by the government, he urged.
"'Taleem' has a great strength as it can transform one's life, it changes the fate of a family, it brings about change in a village, it strengthens society and changes the fate of a country.
"'Taleem' provides subject knowledge, it provides skills which can make any individual to get ready for employment, however, important part is that 'taleem' makes you a good human being," said Javadekar.
