Imagine an academic landscape where every student is well-equipped for the future - this is one of the key highlights of the Viksit Bharat Mission. This ambitious initiative is all set to turn India into a developed nation by 2047, powered by a future-ready education system that equips learners with practical skills to navigate real-world challenges.

Viksit Bharat is more than just a policy. In terms of education, this initiative is a call-to-action for schools to align with a future-ready vision. By focusing on holistic student development, innovative teaching methods, and cutting-edge learning methodologies, new-age schools can ensure that their students are prepared to lead in a dynamic, globalized world.

But, how can schools turn Viksit Bharat’s mission into action? In this newsletter, we discuss the key steps that schools must embrace to bring the Viksit Bharat vision to life and pave the way for future-ready education.

Schools must prioritize lifelong learning and vocational education in today’s rapidly evolving world, and Viksit Bharat strongly supports this focus. By fostering a mindset of continuous learning and fostering practical skills, schools can ensure that students aren’t just academically proficient but also equipped with problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective collaboration skills.

Let’s look at five strategic approaches that schools can integrate to champion the Viksit Bharat mission:

	Introduce Multimodal Teaching Techniques Focus on teacher empowerment through targeted training programs and workshops on using multimedia resources, digital tools, project-based activities and experiential learning techniques. This will help teachers move beyond traditional lecture-based methods and embrace a multimodal approach to teaching that aligns with the mission’s vision for educational reform.
	Upgrade School Infrastructure Elevate from conventional blackboards to modern, multimedia-enabled spaces to make learning more engaging and effective. Leverage engaging digital tools like educational learning apps, smart boards, tablets, etc. to transform the learning experience. Extramarks Smart Class Plus can be a great asset to new-age classrooms, enabling personalized learning through interactive learning modules. Investing in this shift to a dynamic tech-rich environment will support multimodal learning, cater to varied learning styles, and improve overall engagement in a way that meets the mission’s goals.
	Foster An Entrepreneurial Spirit Schools should start incorporating entrepreneurial principles into their programs such as innovation labs, hands-on projects and case studies to help students build an innovative mindset. Nurture skills like leadership, problem-solving, adaptability and strategic thinking to prepare students to thrive in an ever-changing global economy.
	Cultivate A Conducive Learning Space Create a learning environment that supports innovative teaching practices, offers clear guidelines for curriculum implementation and ensures compliance with national educational standards. Regular reviews on aspects like school timings, technology use, student assessments, etc., can be a great way to help schools stay compliant and effectively integrate the Viksit Bharat mission’s standards into their operations.

By adopting these measures, schools can set the right foundation for implementing the vision for Viksit Bharat and seamlessly transition to future-ready education.
