The session was inaugurated by Founder & Chairman and Member of Parliament, Dr. S.P. Singh, who delivered an inspiring address emphasizing that teachers are the foundation of society. He stated that the purpose of education is not merely to impart knowledge but to nurture personality and instill life values. Stressing on the New Education Policy (NEP) and the National Curriculum Framework, Dr. Singh urged teachers to adopt innovative teaching methodologies to align with evolving educational standards. Prominent speakers graced the masterclass: K.S. Upadhyay, Additional Director of Education, led an insightful session on the NEP, focusing on competency-based assessment, child-centric learning, and inquiry-based pedagogy. He encouraged teachers to ignite curiosity in students and to make learning deeply connected with real-life experiences. . Dr. Singh emphasised learning by doing and learning for the sake of life .It is written in the Bhagavad Geeta : " In this world there is no purifier as great as knowledge; the one who has attained purity of heart through prolonged practice of Karma, Yoga , automatically sees the light of truth in the self in course of time." . Another aspect of learning is that a learner has to be intelligent. And for making a learner intelligent a teacher is also required to be intelligent. It does not mean that a teacher is not intelligent but to have the feel about the relevant things required for a particular span of time, and an intelligent student adapts himself to the desired goals in the practices required to attain it. Intelligence is the capacity of rationality that makes one create rational. If it is the time to learn the things, the learner must know what to learn, why to learn, and how to learn. The best part of learning is learning by doing. The more we practice, the more we move towards perfection. Students need to be shaped by real-world environments which are good for their individual wellness. This ability is to be harnessed by using reasoning, problem solving and emotional knowledge. In fact, intelligence is the ability that makes us realize the way to sharpen sensibility. The world is full of so many knowledgeable things, but incapable minds don't attain it. Capacity building is a major thing that ought to be developed. The rate of Intelligence varies from person to person. Many times we come across sudden problems that arise due to adverse conditions or negative people but we are not supposed to be interrupted or damaged by them, but such conditions will give you the way how to come out of it, If you practice to handle the situation with care. Always think of the relevant things. Discuss with the relevant people and find the relevant solutions.
