As part of the academic activities the UGC has conducted the ‘Golden Jubilee Lecture Series’ throughout the country by eminent individuals who have excelled in their respective fields and made a mark not only in India but abroad too.

| What is considered one of the primary goals of education? | The development of the character | The development of the character is one of the greatest aim and object of education. It is said that if wealth is lost nothing is lost, if health is lost someing is lost, if character is lost everything is lost. So we have to educate our children to have self-control over their passions, prejudices and evil tendencies. The same should be made subservient to an upright and reasoning will. If the said object is achieved, this world would be free of the crimes and the evil which has permeated every nook and corner of our society. Now I would like to make a few suggestions to the young audience present over here, how they are to mould themseleves into the finest species of human beings. My first suggestion, in this connection, would be that they should be very choosy in the selection of their companions. | 0 | definition | 1.000 | The development of the character is one of the greatest aim and object of education. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is education described as in relation to man's life? | a process of active self-growth, co-extensive with the whole work of man’s life | A good and honest man will “cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack, for he knew, when he pleased, he could whistle them back.” In our educational institutions an educational qualification is judged by putting a man to test in the form of examinations and on his successfully passing the said examinations, he is considered an educated man. I feel acquisition of educational qualification is not the main aim of the education; the aim of the education is to excel morally and to develop a good character. The children should be taught to think for themselves. We should try to develop them into the original thinkers not simply the imitator or emulator of others. Education is said to be a process of active self-growth, co-extensive with the whole work of man’s life. Education should aim at the harmonious development i.e. intellectual, moral and physical powers. | 692 | definition | 1.000 | Education is said to be a process of active self-growth, co-extensive with the whole work of man’s life. | 7 | page=7,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |

| What does James Allen describe as a force that can overcome obstacles? | Human will that force unseen The off spring of a deathless soul Can hew a way to any goal Though walls of granite intervene | Is the one who thinks he can ?
