New Education Policy

I Is the New Education Policy a Social Reformist?


Noticeably, it will bridge the gap between the current learning outcomes and those desired.

But, will it affect Indian society in any way?

Yes, it will!


Education and society both are inter-related or inter-dependent. Education helps individuals to learn how to live, how to behave, how to organize everything in their lives so it is an agent which brings a change in society.

And the cherry on the cake is that NEP articulates that the purpose of this System is to develop good human beings capable of rational thought and action, scientific temper, and creative imagination.

 Subjects flexibility = More capable  workforce in society


There will be no stiff separation between Science, Arts, and commerce. Students can select subjects of their choice across streams which will result that in a decade we may find professionals who are good in their field as well they have some knowledge related to something which they have studied during their schooling.

I know that didn’t make any sense?

Let us take a hypothetical example

A Data Scientist named Ram who had studied Biology during his schooling. Obviously, he will be having all the data science skillset but, What about the concept of Biology that he studied? 


Will that knowledge will become useless for him?


NO!!  He can use that knowledge in his field i.e, Data science, and then Ram will be a more capable human resource than before.


Still, the above argument makes no sense to you 

Then you should watch this video:

Students will have exposure to vocational education. Due to which jobs such as gardening, plumbing will also be considered same as skilled jobs.

Understanding Emotional Intelligence in The Pursuit of Happiness

l Introduction Amidst the chaos of modern life, it is super important to understand human emotions and intrapersonal dynamics, as they will have a great influence over our relationships, decision making processes, and overall being. Therefore, scrutinizing emotional intelligence is very essential. Emotional intelligence: As defined by Salovey and Mayer (1990), emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions to discriminate among them and use this information to guide one’s own thinking and actions. Emotional intelligence can help you make decisions based on logic rather than emotions. My argument against the aforesaid definition is that calling Emotional intelligence as an ability is somewhat inappropriate because Emotional intelligence is often associated with qualities that are not easily acquired through learning. Calling it a skill is more appropriate. An individual can learn emotional intelligence by considering the 5 element...

Why Do We Tend to Limit Ourselves?

I Introduction The tendency to limit ourselves often stems from a complex interplay of fear, self-doubt, and escapism. This behavior can serve as a coping mechanism or simply a way to avoid uncomfortable situations. The aforementioned term escapism is quite vital to understand in order to proceed further. Escapism is defined as the inclination to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities. It can take various forms, such as procrastination, addiction, or engaging in fantasy activities. These distractions can include procrastination, maladaptive daydreaming, and addictions. At times, escapism can be harmless or even beneficial, but excessive reliance on these distractions can hinder one’s ability to address underlying issues. Research characterizes escapism as the tendency to distract oneself from real-life problems, often manifesting through passive activities (like watching TV) or active pursuits (such as hobbies). It serves as a coping strategy to evade unpleasant feel...

Adam Smith is known as the Father of Economics.

Economics is the science of scarcity which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. Paul A.
