Introduction
In preparation for Shiksha Mahakumbh 4.0, the 'Baton Ceremony' was held today at Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, with grandeur and enthusiasm. This symbolic event marked the formal commencement of the Mahakumbh and witnessed the participation of several dignitaries from the fields of education, society, and politics.
Highlights of the Event
The Vice-Chancellor emphasized the significance of Shiksha Mahakumbh 4.0 in highlighting the role of the Indian education system in global development. He congratulated all participants for their efforts in making this initiative a reality.
Dr. Thakur elaborated on the theme 'The Role of the Indian Education System in Global Development' and described the event as a global platform for innovation and dialogue in education. He added, “While sports have the global platform of the Olympics, there is currently no such forum for sustainable development, which is a fundamental aspect of global progress. Shiksha Mahakumbh is a small but significant step to address this gap, drawing inspiration from India’s ancient heritage as a global knowledge leader.”
Shri Nadda highlighted the objectives of Shiksha Mahakumbh, describing it as a key initiative to uphold the legacy of Indian education and align it with NEP 2020. He emphasized its role in fostering skill-based and entrepreneurial education while promoting meaningful discourse.
