    Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of character building over literacy and called for the "wholesome" education in the country. "Knowledge and education aren't restricted to books. The purpose of education is to enable balanced growth of every dimension of a human being, which is not possible without innovation," he said today in New Delhi while attending a conference by HRD Ministry.
