We have taken the time to comprehend the policy and create a futuristic ecosystem for our students that will enhance their overall improvement in light of the introduction of the New Education system of NEP.
About NEP
In many ways NEP system is revolutionary difference from Colonial Macaulay education system.
We all have got Independence in 1947 undoubtedly but much of our education still has the remnants of the colonial’s past. No doubt many changes have happened in Education and India as a Country has transformed with the same kind of education system. We plan to be the third largest economy by 2025, it could not have happened, so definitely we have made those changes but the new National Education Policy which has been in work since long time & definitely having made public after a public consultation in 2020 and hence its called the NEP 2020. It is a wonderful draft which lays out what really Educational institute all across the Country should be doing to ensure that our Education system comes out of the colonial past and atleast the next generation of students get to know what really India is or Bharat is all about.
Agasthya Vidyanikethan has emerged as one of the Best school in Bangalore, Nagarbhavi region. Started in the year 2012, it is one of the top school in the vicinity since it is one of the very few schools which is headed and micro-managed by a profound scholar. Mr. Manjunath Aradhya has been in the field of higher education and particularly engineering education for the past 17 years.
The corner stones that are mentioned in the policy document of NEP have all been right to implement in the new CBSE schools that are envisaged as future journey of Agasthya Vidyanikethan. Our Team look at this School as an experimentation lab. Giving Students the Ability to Create Solutions for Tomorrow's Challenges-> The twenty-first century will be vastly different from previous centuries, with significant developments in the field of education.
The New National Education Policy, which was released in 2019, is an excellent policy. The ecosystem that we have all grown up in or had access to differs from the Digital India of the twenty-first century - an AI-enabled environment that will undoubtedly be revolutionary in comparison to what we have experienced.

Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities - both the ‘foundational capacities ’of literacy and numeracy and ‘higher-order’ cognitive capacities, such as critical thinking and problem solving – but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions.
The rich heritage of ancient and eternal Indian knowledge and thought has been a guiding light for this Policy.
The pursuit of knowledge (Jnan), wisdom (Pragyaa), and truth (Satya) was always considered in Indian thought and philosophy as the highest human goal.
The aim of education in ancient India was not just the acquisition of knowledge as preparation for life in this world, or life beyond schooling, but for the complete realization and liberation of the self.
World-class institutions of ancient India such as Takshashila, Nalanda,Vikramshila, Vallabhi, set the highest standards of multidisciplinary teaching and research and hosted scholars and students from across backgrounds and countries.
The Indian education system produced great scholars such as Charaka, Susruta, Aryabhata, Varahamihira, Bhaskaracharya, Brahmagupta, Chanakya, Chakrapani Datta, Madhava, Panini, Patanjali, Nagarjuna, Gautama, Pingala, Sankardev, Maitreyi, Gargi and Thiruvalluvar, among numerous others, who made seminal contributions to world knowledge in diverse fields such as mathematics, astronomy, metallurgy, medical science and surgery, civil engineering, architecture, shipbuilding and navigation, yoga, fine arts, chess, and more.
Indian culture and philosophy have had a strong influence on the world.
These rich legacies to world heritage must not only be nurtured and preserved for posterity but also researched, enhanced, and put to new uses through our education system.
Below are a few of the NEP-listed activities. For our students to be future-ready while still adhering to our culture, we have created Dinacharya.
