Discussion - I
The conference room at NCERT headquarters was filled with a mix of anticipation by some and tension for rest.
The invitation had been clear: the head of NCERT, Dr. Shyam Sundar, had summoned some of the most respected scholars, historians, and educationists to discuss the feasibility of implementing Prime Minister Rohan's ambitious education reforms.
These were not minor adjustments; they were transformative changes meant to overhaul the nation's education system.
The scholars, however, were not all in agreement.
Dr. Sundar stood at the head of the table, his hands resting on a thick file. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice steady but with an undertone of urgency, "thank you for coming. As you know, the Prime Minister has given us a mandate to restructure our education system. This isn't just about textbooks or exams, it's about preparing our youth for a modern world while ensuring they remain connected to their roots."
