By 2047, higher education in India would rank first in the world, according to AICTE. AICTE Chairman Professor T G Sitharam presented an ambitious vision for India at a recent speech at Amity University, predicting that country will become the most developed in the world by 2047.
Comprehensive transformative reforms and a strategic reorganization of higher education are essential components of Sitharam’s program. This information was disclosed at the Regional Meet of the Institution Innovation Council (IIC) of the Ministry of Education.
Sitharam emphasized during the event how important higher education is to helping India become a global leader. He applauded the New Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 and urged its strict implementation as a means of propelling India forward as the global center of “knowledge capital.”
“The next leap in higher education and a series of transformative reforms during this Amrit Kaal will be the driving force behind India’s journey towards becoming the most developed nation globally by 2047,” said Sitharam.
He called attention to the inequalities that currently exist and emphasized the need to close the gap between the creation of policies and their successful implementation.
APPLYING MUMMY TONGUE EDUCATION
In order to improve accessibility, Sitharam emphasized the significance of providing instruction in local languages. He emphasized programs like disseminating educational materials in regional tongues and changing testing procedures. Sitharam argued for a paradigm change toward holistic learning approaches, criticizing the dominant culture of rote learning and examination-oriented study approaches.
INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS
Sitharam further emphasized the importance of integrating skill development into the educational structure. He emphasized the critical significance that practical skills play in advancing the country’s development and argued that the educational system should integrate academic knowledge with applied skills.
THE GLOBAL ROLE OF INDIA
Sitharam emphasized India’s goal to become a global contributor while highlighting the nation’s goals to go beyond self-sufficiency. He cited India’s humanitarian efforts in the COVID-19 epidemic, in which the country sent vaccines to more than 100 countries, illustrating its national identity as a “Vishwa Data,” or helper on the international scene.
Regional Meetings of the Education Ministry
Regional meetings of the Ministry of Education, led by its Innovation Cell, provide an essential forum for promoting innovation in educational establishments.
Between 800 and 1,000 people attended the event at Amity University in Noida, including entrepreneurs, policymakers, innovators, and representatives from local, state, and federal government organizations.
