New Delhi: At a time when India is undergoing major reforms in the education sector, such as the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, any encouragement from top leaders will inspire the younger generation to put their best foot forward in research and help achieve the country's dream of becoming a Vishwaguru.
The National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) celebrated its 19th Foundation Day on August 11 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Dr Ram Madhav, President of India Foundation, delivered the Foundation Day lecture as the chief guest on the theme 'Preparing India for the Emerging New World.'
"Today, we often hear the phrase 'new world order' in public discourse. It's a term that gets thrown around with increasing frequency—yet, how many of us pause to ask: What does it truly mean?,” Dr Ram Madhav said.
He underscored the urgency of this inquiry, stating, "To understand where we are heading, and to prepare our country for that journey, is, in my view, a patriotic duty." Dr Madhav urged the audience to actively engage with these ideas, emphasising that the future he spoke about is no longer distant, but already upon us.
In his speech, Dr Ram Madhav stated, “True education does not merely inform; it inspires creativity, liberates the mind and character that empowers a nation to rise above challenges, fostering innovation and dignity for all. As we approach a new era, let us champion educational transformation – rooted in freedom of thought and responsibility – so that India not just keeps pace with the world, but leads with original ideas and compassionate action.”
NIEPA's 19th Foundation Day celebration was also attended by NIEPA's Dean Prof Mona Khare, NIEPA's Honourable Vice-Chancellor Prof Shashikala Wanjari, and NIEPA Chancellor Shri Mahesh Chandra Pant.
