Ajay Banga And Janet Yellen Hail Gujarat's Education 'Control & Command Centre'

The World Bank must make changes to its vision so that it can look at issues beyond poverty, President Ajay Banga has said. Speaking on July 16 ahead of the third meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Gandhinagar, Banga said he was worried by the narrow definition of poverty. "I have been six weeks in this job and I think what I am concerned about is that the definition of trying to eradicate poverty is inadequate without including challenges like climate change, pandemics, fragility, food insecurity – these are intertwined crises," Banga, who took charge as the President of the World Bank in early June, said. World Bank President Ajay Banga on Sunday said there is a need to replicate the 'Control and Command Centre', also called 'Vidya Samiksha Kendra', in Gandhinagar in Gujarat in not just other parts of the country but also the world as a model of leadership.
