Dr. Sudhir Giri hails from a humble homestead, his parents lived in a rural setup but dreamt big and desired to educate their child so that he could have a bright and gratifying future.
Their vision was definitely worth it, that child was Dr. Sudhir Giri who left no stone unturned in achieving great heights to make his parents and family proud.
Dr. Giri believes that education is the most important thing, especially for the development of a nation.

Dr. Giri believes India is a vastly populated country and a developing nation. Hence, education is one of the major components that will be helpful in changing India from a developing nation to a developed country.
Further, he feels if we take a careful look at the demographics of India, we can see that states and cities having the highest literacy rates have better infrastructure and advanced technology than others.
Hence, Dr. Giri thinks we need to work on various reforms and educational projects in India to create a progressive and developed country.
He also feels that the importance of education is not just limited to creating a progressive country. There are many other reasons that make education important in India, such as
· Education is the right of every citizen of India, irrespective of their gender, caste, creed, or social status.
· It promotes an independent society comprising civilized and well-mannered individuals.
· Education helps in uplifting economically underprivileged groups and leads to the creation of various employment opportunities.
· Good education facilitates a peaceful exchange of ideas and knowledge.
· As much as it ensures a bright and prosperous future for educated individuals, it also helps in alleviating crime and terrorism.
