Rural revitalization is not just about economic growth. In my view, it is also important to fully bring out the economic, ecological, social and cultural value of the countryside.

The main hope of a nation lies in the proper education of its youth

Education is the key to our country’s future.

It is absolutely necessary for educated young people to go to the countryside to be re-educated by the poor and lower-middle peasants. Cadres and other city people should be persuaded to send their sons and daughters who have finished junior or senior middle school, college, or university to the countryside. Let us mobilize. Comrades throughout the countryside should welcome them.

A nation with a large number of uneducated citizens cannot develop. Education is the foundation for development.

This project is not just aimed at improving the economic conditions of people... It is a way of inspiring a human being to stand up for himself, to raise the human spirit. -Sadhguru (on Action for Rural Rejuvenation rural relief program)

Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.

Somewhat optimistically, as events in the last few years have shown, I declared that "the country is alive now as it has never been before to the essential value of agriculture to the community, and whatever befalls it will never again be neglected by a Government." It is still difficult to wean the urban population from a rooted habit of regarding the countryside as a picnicking ground, whose accessible amenities are restricted by fences and often destroyed by cultivation. They have not yet acquired a real comprehension of the essential importance of the land of the country to its security, its permanent prosperity and contentment.

Another area I am deeply passionate about is the education of the people in the region. Without an educated populace, it becomes challenging for them to actively participate in the development of their community.

The real education is when you awaken and nourish and guide the inner spirit, this inner genius. The community grows from the giving of the gifts of the people in it, which is really giving from the genius.

Oh, for the rebirth of an educational system where understanding was an essential part of knowledge.

Education is the chief remedy for all those great evils which afflict the country. Education will not only cultivate and improve the intellect of the nation, but will also purify its character.

Education is perhaps the most critical component to our development as a nation

I want you all to know that education is very important for the growth and development of our nation... When you are educated, you contribute to building a more peaceful and prosperous country.
