New Delhi, Apr 27 (ANI): Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on April 26 called Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) a “modern-day Hanuman” for taking education to the remotest corners of the country and said that it should become the knowledge centre of the world. “IGNOU has emerged as a modern-day Lord Hanuman in taking education and learning to the remotest corners and to the poorest,” he said. “In our country, tolerance is spoken about and written about. Sometimes, we also receive suggestions on it from abroad. But I feel that it is in-built in our democracy. Professors of the IGNOU are like Lord Hanuman, who was unaware of the powers he possessed. Hanuman is known to have saved the society and being the voice of the Adivasis,” he added.
