Education should be affordable and accessible for everyone. To support this, female students from rural areas, small towns, and low-income families should receive incentives to complete their education, at least up to graduation. Integrating AI and technology into the curriculum is essential, along with teaching about India’s rich history. Basic Sanskrit should be mandatory at the primary level, given its ancient heritage and cultural importance in India. Moreover, maintaining strict discipline and a focus on academics and well-being for Indian students will foster a well-rounded and progressive society.
Devesh Purohit, PR Consultant, said, “Education should be affordable and accessible to one and all. Female students from rural and small towns and low income groups should be provided incentives to complete education at least till graduation. Use of AI and Tech should be implemented in the syllabus and also about the rich history of India. Sanskrit language at a basic level should be made mandatory at primary level because it is one of the ancient and rich languages in the world having Indian roots and cultural significance. Indian students should be treated with strictness for discipline, studying and overall well-being and thereby creating a holistically growing society for India.”
Imagine a future where education is revolutionized by volunteers. This innovative approach will equip young leaders with practical skills and firsthand experience, shaping them into the education system’s future architects. Additionally, government-backed civic volunteering will address systemic challenges and cultivate a spirit of community engagement. This comprehensive approach will ensure an inclusive and equitable education system, empowering every voice to contribute to a brighter educational landscape.

The government may develop an education system that is more inclusive, effective, and
progressive by concentrating on these areas. This will have a positive impact on people’s job
opportunities as well as the growth and development of the country as a whole.
Gaurav Tyagi, Founder of Career Xpert, said, “It is important for me to stress as a medical counselor that the new Indian government has high expectations for both schooling and careers. Changes in education that support innovation, quality, and accessibility are welcomed by professionals and students in India. It is imperative that policies be implemented to increase financing for STEM and medical disciplines so that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, has access to innovative facilities and resources.“
He further added, “Developing a strong framework for skill development and vocational training must be a top priority for the incoming government. This will ultimately improve employability by bridging the knowledge gap between academia and industry expectations. Encouragements for medical research and development, such as grants and scholarships for aspiring scientists and medical professionals, are also essential. Furthermore, promoting worldwide partnerships and exchange initiatives can introduce students to foreign norms and practices, enhancing their learning opportunities. It is equally crucial to address mental health issues, promote career counseling services, and expedite the admissions process in order to lessen anxiety and uncertainty.”
The new government in India is set to make substantial strides in education and careers. With a strong focus on AI, data science, practical skills, and community engagement, India is poised to develop a skilled, innovative, and responsible workforce. The upcoming years promise a dynamic and inclusive education system, empowering future generations to excel and innovate.
