Talking about education, Modi said just expansion of education is not adequate, instead quality should be the focus and that it can be done by using technology.
“[The council] Reaffirmed the vitality of Centre & States working together for India’s overall progress & bringing a qualitative change in people’s lives.” tweeted Modi.
