If India truly wishes to bring about good and effective education to empower the masses, then it has to offer technology-based learning platforms.

The policy has rightly tried to not be too prescriptive. Instead, it draws a balance between creating an enlightened vision and offering practical pathways for implementing that vision.

Students should realise that education is all about discovering one's true inner self.

The nation that taught the world to count sensibly and how to use data for efficient management much before the Christian era has seemingly lost its way.

The country seems to be moving more and more into an examination based education system where the testing impedes genuine learning.

If our policy and curriculum makers take a little more interest, much of the learning of mathematics can happen in a trans-disciplinary manner around the discoveries from ancient India.

There is an onslaught of figures related to the Covid-19 being thrown at the public with no trends being spotted or commentaries on what could happen in such situations.

It should be clear that for a variety of reasons, India has been not as badly affected by Covid-19 as most other nations.

Schools and colleges can play very interesting, enriching and constructive roles through educational activities during the pandemic.

Looking at the data available, it seems like India shall have a very low number of Covid-19 positive cases given the slow rate of growth of infections.
