Embracing Change: India’s Journey Towards Holistic Education

In times there have been changes, in the education system of India blending its traditional values with modern reforms. The decision to introduce open book exams by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) marks a shift from conventional assessment methods towards a approach to learning.

The shift from classrooms to the era has led to contemplation on how education has evolved in India. Historical institutions like gurukuls emphasized a balance between knowledge and practical wisdom laying a foundation for education. However during the period there was a change that aligned the curriculum with beliefs.

The challenges brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic highlighted the importance of reform leading to initiatives such as the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2022. Rooted in principles like Jnana, Vignan and Jeevan Darshan this policy promotes development and personalized learning experiences.

The implementation of exams and open book assessments by CBSE shows a dedication to adaptability and innovation in education. These measures offer students opportunities for evaluation allowing them to learn from their mistakes and improve—a departure, from the exam focused approach.
In the midst of this phase of development, in India it is crucial to welcome change while upholding the principles of comprehensive education deeply rooted in its historical educational practices. By blending methods with ideas India takes steps towards re establishing itself as a prominent figure, in education and sharing knowledge on a global scale.
