NDTV Education Conclave

The Roadmap to India’s Future

As India strides towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, we explore what role education plays to create an India of the future by bringing together leading educationists, policy makers, think tanks, innovators, and institution builders.

Our conversations will seek to answer questions like, is AI in education a boon or a bane? Should school education shift towards skill-based learning or first build a foundation of academic learning? How can we make our education truly inclusive?

We will talk about the kind of education that can create global leaders in cutting-edge innovation and research and try to understand in what ways we are investing in teachers so they can shape a confident, employable and future-ready India.

A thinking and productive India.
