Efforts should be made to fully realise job-based and technical education as envisaged by Gandhiji, Speaker P. Sreeramakrishnan has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the valedictory of the 39th All Kerala Technical High School Arts Festival at Government Technical High School, Mancha, Nedumangad, here on Sunday.
