Union Minister Prakash Javadekar Sunday issued a clarification on a statement he made at a school function here. Javadekar, while speaking at the Jnana Prabhodini School Friday had said that schools should utilise their alumni for betterment rather than only approaching the government.

"Whatever I spoke during an event at a school two days ago, I have understood that some misunderstanding has arisen from my statement. I would like to clarify that I did not intent to say that government will not spend on education and former students should spend on educational institutes," Javadekar's clarification read.
