Abstract
“Learn a craft by hand,
Worries in life will never stand,”
says the Namakkal poet. Based on this principle, if every individual in India learns at least one craft and practices it with dedication, both the person and the nation will prosper. In this context, even in education, vocational training is considered more valuable and essential than mere bookish learning. We all know the saying, “A written gourd cannot make curry”—in the same way, purely theoretical education is of little use in real life. That is why, alongside formal education, it is important for students to also acquire training in some profession or craft.
