Digital Desk: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) India has taken the suo motu cognizance of
Digital
Desk: Over 12,800 teachers in Indian schools have been designated as Innovation
Ambassadors by the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell (MIC), All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE). The SIC is a project of the top educational organisations in
India to create the ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship with schools.
According
to a statement from the ministry, the SIC has been set up in schools to advance
the goal of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which is to sustainably
encourage ideation, unconventional thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship
at the school education level.
"The demographic dividend we discuss is
still valid through 2047. Since we cannot predict the difficulties that lie
ahead, it is crucial that all children develop their creativity and capacity
for innovation. Anita Karwal, Secretary, Department of School Education &
Literacy, MoE, stated that in order to foster inventive skills, we must move
beyond textbooks.
Additionally,
Ms. Karwal urged parents and educators to engage kids in activities that will
excite and advance their skills and bring them closer to the world around them.
In
order to allow students to focus on building 21st-century abilities outside of
the classroom, she continued, "the new national curriculum framework will
provide a highly-reduced, core-essential curriculum."
Professor Anil D. Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, AICTE, expressed
his delight over the "Triveni Sangam" of all top educational
organisations for the launch, saying that this initiative will foster a culture
of ideation, innovation, entrepreneurship, creative thinking, design thinking,
prototyping, out-of-the-box thinking, and IP commercialization even among
schoolchildren.
A leadership speak, a panel discussion with successful
innovators or entrepreneurs, and field visits for programme identification and
prioritisation are all part of the SIC calendar of events. The top POCs and
prototypes from around India will then be displayed, and some promising startup
concepts may even receive funding.
