Navtika, a Journal on Early Childhood Education (ECE) focusses on the Foundational years of a child and the role of education.Focus on Early Childhood Education is imperative because it forms the foundation upon which children can learn how to process information in an effective manner. The period from birth to eight years old is one of remarkable brain development for children and represents a crucial window of opportunity for education. Given children are the next generation leaders, countries across the globe are collaborating and strategizing to increase and improve investment in this early childhood care and education as an essential and integral part for attaining lifelong learning societies and sustainable development. In order to build the narrative on ECE, the Navtika National Symposium 4.0, on the theme ‘Holistic Assessment and Evaluation in Early Years’  will provide guidance to understand the changing paradigm in the field of education and the evolution of a new education system to nurture the future global citizens. The Symposium will effectively play a vital role to be a discussion-based learning and interactive fora, which will emphasize on expressing one’s thoughts, facilitating intense deliberations through participation and interaction at national level. In addition, we will offer valuable opportunities for exchanging information and best practices among delegates and participants especially for those who are looking for new opportunities between presenters and participants.
