The education system must be abreast of the latest technological developments and marvels. Education institutions are the places and spaces where the consumption and production of knowledge benefits humanity by focusing on the most pressing problems of the planet. Sri Aurobindo had very aptly declared that “the teacher is a helper and a guide whose business is to suggest and not to impose”. Just as all biological and social systems continually evolve, higher education institutions must also learn to evolve by reflecting on how best they can help solve the world’s most challenging problems and by serving as places for life-long and life-wide learning. Much of the nation’s future depends on its system of education. Humans are the only mammals to have fully opposable thumbs and this feature allows them to climb, grasp and throw objects, develop and manipulate tools and work with fine motor skills as well as allowing for advanced communication like writing. As a result, not only have humans become the most dominant species on the planet, but they have also become, by far, its most intelligent, imaginative, adaptable and resourceful specie. The change towards a sustainability mindset is important because humanity is facing unparalleled challenges brought about by human-induced actions and also because humans have only one planet to call home. Humans must rethink their relationship to the planet and to each other. Human solidarity lies in the fact that we are part of the same human race and, as such, we must learn to work together for the welfare of our planet and the survival of our species. A significant impact of the pandemic on higher education is the way it shifted the view of the role of socio-emotional learning. The psychological toll the pandemic took on young people especially – due to isolation, dislocation and the death and illness of loved ones – has heightened the awareness around the importance of psychosocial care. For many years, the higher education community has recognized the importance of the so-called soft skills that underpin employability, such as creativity, grit, problem-solving and empathy. Such skills also help students to live gratifying personal lives and enhance their overall mental health and emotional resilience, so we must not make the mistake of appreciating these skills as mere tools for securing and keeping jobs. The present book is a collection of my articles published over the last couple of years with the aim to disseminate the necessary knowledge in bringing about relevant changes in our education system. Lastly, this book would be failing in its purpose if I don’t express the debt I owe to my parents Mrs. Raj Mohini Dhar and Late Mr. Triloki Nath Dhar who instilled in me the interest and the zest to pursue writing and always offered me their immensely valuable observations on knowledge, education, life, cosmos, and other fascinating matters. Special thanks are due to Apoorva and Aayushree for their continued expression of love, support, and inspiration.
The New Education Policy: Shaping India's Future in the New Era of Education
"The New Education Policy: Shaping India's Future in the New Era of Education," edited by Dr. Manju, is a comprehensive volume that examines the transformative impact of India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Bringing together insights from scholars and education experts, the book explores key themes such as inclusive education, digital learning, curriculum reforms, teacher development, and institutional governance. The chapters analyze how the NEP aims to enhance educational access for marginalized communities, promote equity, and improve learning outcomes across all levels of education. The policy’s emphasis on technology integration, multidisciplinary learning, and innovation in pedagogy is critically discussed. The volume also addresses implementation challenges—ranging from administrative hurdles and resource constraints to socio-cultural barriers—offering a balanced perspective on both the opportunities and limitations of the NEP. With its thoughtful analyses and diverse viewpoints, this collection provides a holistic understanding of the NEP’s potential to shape an equitable, inclusive, and future-ready education system in India.

It gives us immense pleasure to present the edited volume titled From Leaf to Lab: Contemporary Indian Indigenous Knowledge. This book is a collective scholarly endeavor that brings together critical perspectives, field-based insights, and contemporary interpretations of Indian Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS). Rooted in centuries-old traditions, these knowledge systems have not only shaped India’s cultural and scientific foundations but continue to offer sustainable, locally-grounded solutions to modern challenges.
