The current Indian education policy, NEP-2020 is committed to discovering, nurturing, fostering and developing innate talents of varying interests, dispositions and capacities among students who show strong potential in a given realm, both academic and non-academic. The policy suggests that such students must be encouraged to pursue their passion beyond the school curriculum by providing them with enrichment material, organizing project-based clubs and centres, and conducting national-level residential summer programs. These students must be identified using a rigorous merit-based but equitable selection process to attract the very best students from across the country including from socio-economically disadvantaged groups (NEP-2020, p19, 4.43-4.46). The policy that was announced in August 2020 was a historic step for gifted education in India as it was the first time ‘Gifted students’ received due recognition in the educational landscape of the country. Before formally bringing it under the ambit of education policy, an extensive exploratory research was conducted from 2010-19, supported by the Office of Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India to develop indigenous processes to identify and nurture gifted students, particularly in science and mathematics. Multiple project locations were identified including Bangalore, Delhi, the rural part of southern India, Guwahati, Vadodara and others. Due care was given to include students from the disadvantaged section. The outcomes of the project concluded in a round-table meeting organised by the Cluster Innovation Centre, the University of Delhi where experts and project investigators suggested provisions to develop sustainable education programs for gifted students. Since then serious deliberations have been started to identify and nurture gifted students in academic and non-academic domains of human abilities. The Pradhan Mantri Innovative learning Programme- DHRUV has been introduced to identify and encourage talented students to help them realize their full potential. The first round of DHURV was successfully conducted in October 2019. The next round could not be carried out due to the Covid pandemic though independent efforts are being carried out at the institutional level. At the national level, National Talent Search Exam is conducted every year for grade X students by the National Council of Educational Research and Training, an autonomous organization under, the Ministry of Education, Government of India to identify academically talented students. India is an active participant in International Olympiad Programme. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education is the nodal centre of the country that prepares and promotes excellence in science and mathematics among pre-university students. The Department of Science and Technology under the Government of India runs Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY), a national programme to provide mentorship and scholarship support to exceptionally motivated students to pursue study in basic sciences. There are 649 schools, (Navodaya Vidyalaya) governed by the Ministry of Education to provide quality education to talented children predominantly from rural areas.
At State (province) level, many states have special programs to attract and nurture talented students. The Government in NCT of Delhi, the capital state of India, has established twenty schools of Specialized Excellence in the current academic year 2021-22 for grade 9-12 students, in the area of STEM, humanities, performing and visual arts and in high-end 21st-century skills. These schools aim to cater to the needs of students who demonstrate high interest and aptitude in specific domains. The government aims to increase the number of such schools to 100 in the next two years.
At the institutional level, The Maths Circle India is another initiative to identify mathematically inclined students at an early age and to sharpen their mathematical skills under the guidance of professional mathematicians. Institutes like Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi, National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore, Agastya International Foundation, Bangalore, Jnana Prabodhini, Pune and Jagdish Bose Science Talent Search, Kolkata have programs for talented students, though each institute caters demographically different students. Many school organizations have also taken initiative to conduct training programs for teachers helping them identify the learning needs of gifted students.
We hope the efforts to help and promote gifted students will scale up new heights in the coming years with a dedicated action plan in place.

United States
In the United States, there is no federal mandate to support gifted education at the state and local levels.
That’s why the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) and its members continually and actively advocate to members of Congress and Executive Branch officials on behalf of the gifted education community to increase federal support for gifted and talented learners. It’s essential all gifted education stakeholders join the NAGC by communicating regularly with their Congressional delegation on the needs of gifted students.

Uruguay
Uruguay still have no policies relating gifted persons. In a public educational policy proposal to be implemented until 2025, there are 3 items which consider gifted education, although teachers' formation is not taken into account. Thus, gifted identification is performed by our GIAHSD (Grupo de Investigación en Altas Habilidades/Superdotación), a research group linked to the Educational Sciences School of Universidad de la Empresa founded in 2018. The group also offers workshops for parents and teachers, educational guidance and formation for teachers and schools, a group of adults, a digital library on Giftedness and related topics and a webpage with ad-hoc mentors in different areas who help children and teenagers to develop and pursuit their interests. All this is acomplish by voluntary profesionals. The first specialization in Inclusive Education for gifted students totaling 450 class/hours was also developed by the School.
