Our Bureau

New Delhi , Jan. 13

Admitting that higher education system needs comprehensive reforms, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, has said that the National Knowledge Commission should travel across the country with useful ideas to build a consensus.

"Our higher education system is in need of comprehensive reform. The Commission's reports have many useful ideas for reforming higher education. These are all ideas that merit serious discussion. I would urge the Commission to take these ideas across the country and build consensus," he said while releasing the National Knowledge Commission's Report to the Nation 2006, according to an official release.

"We look forward to more work from the Commission in the coming year, particularly on reforming our schools, promoting research, meeting the knowledge needs of agriculture and small and medium enterprises and facilitating innovation and entrepreneurship," he said.
