About the Seminar
The primary goal of this proposed seminar aligns harmoniously with the overarching vision delineated in the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, which places substantial emphasis on fostering a deep-seated sense of pride and reverence for India's opulent heritage and culture within the realm of educational institutions spanning schools and higher-education institutes (HEIs). This seminar serves as a conduit for nurturing inventive ideas and critical frameworks that converge divergent perspectives to champion the diverse manifestations of Indian languages and cultures. It acts as a platform to craft pragmatic strategies for the seamless integration of India's multifaceted indigenous knowledge systems—encompassing tribal lore and local sagacity—into the very foundations of national curricula's pedagogical frameworks.
Through active participation in these dialogues, resonating with the spirit of NEP 2020, the seminar aspires to fortify cultural identity and nurture self-reliance (Atmanirbharta) and self-esteem within the emerging fabric of society through the mediums of contemporary educational methodologies. Observing the NEP as an instrument for conserving India's cultural heritage, the seminar envisions a realm wherein novel ideas are incubated to reinvigorate imperiled languages, arts, and traditions by reconceptualizing their roles within our modern educational policies.
