New Delhi: HRD Minister Kapil Sibal and his
deputy D Purandeswari on Tuesday received wholesome praise from
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who described them as being a
team of "finest minds" in the government.
Observing that his government gave the "highest
importance" to human resource development, Singh said "that is
why some of the finest minds have been chosen for this
ministry."
Taking the names of both Sibal and Purandeswari, the Prime
Minister said this was "a team for which any country can be
legitimately proud of as national leaders".
Singh, who read out his address while inaugurating the
'Saakshar Bharat Mission', went extempore while making the

seated on the dais at the function here.
