India to lead as most developed nation by 2047 in higher education: AICTE

AICTE Chairman Professor T G Sitharam envisions India as the most developed nation by 2047 via higher education revolution, emphasising mother tongue education and skill integration.

In a recent address at Amity University, AICTE Chairman Professor T G Sitharam outlined an ambitious vision for India, foreseeing its emergence as the most developed nation globally by 2047. Sitharam's vision hinges on a strategic overhaul of higher education and comprehensive transformative reforms. This revelation came to light during the Ministry of Education's Institution Innovation's Council (IIC) Regional Meet.

During the gathering, Sitharam underscored the pivotal role of higher education in steering India towards becoming a global leader. He lauded the New Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, advocating for its rigorous implementation as a potential catalyst to establish India as the "knowledge capital" worldwide.

"The next leap in higher education and a series of transformative reforms during this Amrit Kaal will be the driving force behind India's journey towards becoming the most developed nation globally by 2047," affirmed Sitharam.

He emphasised the need to bridge the gap between policy formulation and its effective execution, drawing attention to the existing disparities.

EMBRACING MOTHER TONGUE EDUCATION

Sitharam emphasised the importance of delivering education in regional languages to enhance accessibility. He highlighted initiatives such as publishing educational materials in local languages and reforming examination patterns. Sitharam critiqued the prevalent culture of rote learning and examination-oriented study approaches, advocating for a paradigm shift towards holistic learning methodologies.

INTEGRATING SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Another key aspect highlighted by Sitharam was the integration of skill development into the educational framework. He stressed the pivotal role of practical skills in fostering the nation's progress, advocating for a cohesive blend of theoretical knowledge and applied skills within the educational system.

INDIA'S GLOBAL ROLE

In emphasising India's aspirations to transcend self-sufficiency, Sitharam highlighted the country's ambition to become a global contributor. He pointed out India's humanitarian role during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it provided vaccines to over 100 nations, showcasing the country's ethos as a 'Vishwa Data,' a benefactor on the global stage.

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION'S REGIONAL MEETS

The Ministry of Education's regional meets, spearheaded by its Innovation Cell, serve as a pivotal platform for fostering innovation within educational institutions.

The event at Amity University in Noida attracted a gathering of approximately 800 to 1,000 participants, including innovators, startups, policymakers, and representatives from state and central government agencies.
