Summary

As followers of the Bhagavad Gita, we are profoundly inspired by its timeless wisdom. Gita’s powerful teaching, “The mind is everything, what you think, you become” reveals a profound truth: Our thoughts mould our reality. By cultivating positive and purposeful thoughts, we shape our actions, character, and destiny. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi, India is making remarkable strides towards a future rich with empowerment and opportunity for its youth.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, spearheaded by Modi, embodies a revolutionary commitment to fostering talent and meeting aspirations through its five foundational pillars—access, equity, quality, affordability, and accountability. This policy is not just a step forward but a monumental leap towards transforming India’s educational landscape and unlocking its full potential.

In the Mahabharata, the revered Dronacharya proclaims, “Knowledge is the greatest wealth.” This enduring wisdom reveals that true prosperity is found not in material wealth but in intellectual and spiritual enlightenment. It calls for us to prioritise education and knowledge as the bedrock of personal and societal advancement. As India celebrates its 78th year, the Modi government’s education-driven transformative initiatives are propelling us towards remarkable progress and drawing us ever closer to the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
