Innovation in Education: The key to transforming India

With the launch of our Third Chapter this year, we aim to contribute to the Innovation Era of massive change in the Indian educational system.
The Indian Education System is undergoing a huge paradigm shift from the conventional chalk-and-talk model of learning to modern digital learning and from passive learning to hands-on experiential learning, which can be largely attributed to the Innovation in Education.

Addressing the 108th Indian Science Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “If the country takes initiative in futuristic areas we will be in a position to lead Industry 4.0”. In the pursuit of the Government Of India’s vision for ‘Transforming India’, the Ministry of Education has launched several new schemes, for instance: a five-year vision plan named Education Quality Upgradation and Inclusion Programme (EQUIP), SWAYAM 2.0, Deeksharambh, PARAMARSH, and MOE’s Innovation cell, among other major Initiatives.
