Warangal: Transforming education for holistic development is the need of the hour, former minister Capt V Lakshmikantha Rao said. Speaking at the two-day cultural carnival, SANSKRITI '23, organised by the Kakatiya Institute of Technology & Science, Warangal, that concluded on Saturday, he said that a holistic approach encourages personal and collective responsibility by engaging students in the teaching and learning process. "The academic brilliance is not enough.
