Amartya Sen considers education as the biggest weapon.

Amartya Sen considers education as the biggest weapon and believes that backwardness in education is the root cause of poverty prevalent in the country. Because when a person becomes educated, first of all he protects himself from ignorance and darkness and makes better use of his money. This was the reason why the army always insisted on making education compulsory from the governments. He believes that if the society becomes educated then the development of the country will also be ensured.
