Dinesh Singh: 'India seems to have lost its way' in implementing National Education Policy

KR Mangalam University Chancellor Dinesh Singh delivered a keynote address at the India Today Education Conclave, offering a candid assessment of India's current pedagogical landscape. Singh, a key contributor to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, warned against the 'mechanical implementation' of the policy, stating, 'Do not kill it by your mechanical implementations and interpretations.' He argued that the Indian education system is currently 'lost in a maze of strange kind of bureaucratic rules' that stifle genuine learning. Singh emphasized the need for a shift from traditional blackboard-based teaching to a mentorship model, highlighting the 'Design Your Degree' and 'College on Wheels' initiatives in Jammu and Kashmir as successful examples of transdisciplinary, project-based learning. He further discussed the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence, noting that teachers must evolve into mentors or risk being 'devoured' by AI. The session concluded with a call for a 'knowledge economy' where universities drive significant economic value through innovation and societal connection. #DineshSingh #IndiaTodayEducationConclave #NEP2020 #EducationReform #HigherEducation #IndiaToday #NationalEducationPolicy #AIinEducation #Mentorship #FutureOfLearning #KnowledgeEconomy #IndianEducation #TeachingEcosystem #InnovationInEducation #JKHigherEducation Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
