I believe primary and secondary education is the bedrock of any sustainable society.

Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

I had my children after eight years of marriage. It was a dream come true. I still pinch myself.

Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.

I believe that children have to grow up as all-round personalities, but it cannot be at the cost of academics.

My background is that I came from a middle class family, and I think those values stay where ever you go.

My father-in-law saw me at a dance performance. The next day, I got a phone call, and the caller said, 'I'm Dhirubhai Ambani... may I talk to Nita?' I said, 'It's a wrong number' and put down the phone. Then he called again... and I said, 'If you're Dhirubhai Ambani, then I'm Elizabeth Taylor.'
