Lt. Gen. (RETD) Arjun Ray, chief executive officer, Indus International School, Bangalore Where would you place education on your national list of priorities? Education should be priority No.1. How best to upgrade government schools? Government schools urgently need upgradation in the areas of teacher quality and technology. This can happen only if public-private partnerships are formed. Thinker/philosopher you admire the most. Socrates. Your favourite Nobel laureate. Martin Luther King Jr. and Herman Hesse. Your leadership style. Lead yourself first, then others. Your favourite book on leadership. No particular book, because leadership is experiential. For or against the RTE Act mandating 25 percent reservation for underprivileged children in private schools? For. Long overdue. Should education outlay be doubled by cutting defence expenditure? Yes, because human security is the core of national security. How satisfied are you with the growth and development of Indus International School? Very satisfied. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp
