Bill Gates who is on a visit to India to take part in the ‘Agri Convention’ in Vishakhapatnam on November 17th, shared his opinions on Swachh Bharat, Education System in India and the Aadhaar Card.
Talking to a media house, Bill Gates stated that, ‘Melinda foundation can’t do everything. And most of the Indian philanthropists have picked up education as a high priority,’ when asked about whether Melinda Foundation would work to improve the education system in India.
Bill Gates said that he is highly disappointed with the current education system in India, and is not having any high expectations about it. While asked his take on the Swachh Bharat campaign and building of toiles, ‘Building a toilet is like opening a savings bank account. The real challenge lies in getting people to use it,’ said Gates.
The tech giant marked ‘Aadhaar Card’ as a 12-digit-lie-detector system and pointed that the apps built around it can have some serious security flaws.
Bill Gates has called for re-invented toilets which would burn the wastes without carrying it through the drainage system. Speaking on his recent investment, Gates said, ‘I drank a glass of processed water. The processing machine coverts human excreta into potable water.’
