Abstract | ||
Education is one of the most important and crucial determinants for social change, development and upliftment. Through education human mind can be molded in such a way that an effective standard of living can be attained. Keeping that in mind ‘New Education Policy 2020’ approved in Indian Cabinet on 29th July, 2020, aimed to bring holistic development in all aspects of the children. Children are the future of India and to ensure their better future the Indian Government emphasized on revival of good age-old practices along with sustainable development. The Government of India launched their mission ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ (Self-reliant India) to make India independent in all spheres of life. In the same tune NEP 2020 emphasized on IKS (Indian Knowledge System) for protecting and preserving cultural ethos, our rich heritage, traditional knowledge system etc. and thus to ensure the sustainable future of young generation. Presently as we can see the Govt. of India is focusing on the AYUSH Mantralaya, Yoga, Panchakarma, Art and Craft, Cottage industry, unsung heroes of freedom struggle, value education, mother tongue etc. to implement NEP 2020's mission and vision. The present paper is intended to discuss all these things. The paper is based on secondary sources. Keywords: Atma Nirvar Bharat, Education, IKS, NEP 2020, Sustainable development | ||
