IF SOMEONE ANALYSES the history of development in various societies of the world, one may find that every concept, planning and initiative needs knowledge, culture, ideas, and value base. These develop through the support of education and pedagogy. When India entered in its neoliberal phase, it aspired towards a new developmental regime which was holistically conceptualised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was elected in 2014. He visualised a new era of Indian development and evolved a concept and mission of Viksit Bharat, to be achieved by 2047, when India will celebrate 100 years of Independence.
As I said, Viksit Bharat is not merely developmental, but is also woven around panch pran- (develop India; erase all traces of servitude; be proud of our legacy; the strength of our unity; citizen duty which may provide ideals for evolving India with its spiritual and cultural foundation). To provide the cultural, spiritual, and knowledge base of Viksit Bharat, a new education policy named New Education Policy (NEP 2020) has been formulated by PM Modi and the ministry of education. Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and his team are working constantly to implement it, trying to lead the transformation of the Indian education system as the support base for the Viksit Bharat mission.
