Shri Eswaran never lost sight of the global commitments, treaties, and covenants India has committed to education in global forums. Therefore, he took it upon as a collective union mission to work towards that cause, steering the massive primary school teacher members of India to work globally.  As a person who started a movement rather than a fight or a task, Shri Eswaran, as a leader, wanted to provide sustainable solutions.  Towards the last 8 years of his life, he rallied around India to bring awareness to a noble cause, “Quality education for all.”  He rekindled strength, spirit, and commitment from teachers, the government, the public, and all education providers to join hands for ‘Quality education for all’ so that it can be a reality in India rather than a goal that remains in the Future.

Today, we see most countries around the world resetting and realigning to achieve many of the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Shri Eswaran was quite committed and strived to arrive at a general consensus in India to achieve SDG4 – ‘Quality Education and Lifelong Learning’ since its launch as a millennial global vision. This was indeed his life message, which we all can relate to.  Quality education imparted with relevance and sensitivity through free education combined with lifelong learning and development for educators and students alike is the greatest gift we could reward ourselves within an increasingly challenging world that is trying to meet self-sustenance and inclusivity.
