एक सच्चा शिक्षक वही होता है जो पढ़ाने को नौकरी नहीं, बल्कि निरंतर सीखने-सिखाने की यात्रा मानता है। ✨ पढ़िए ऐसी ही एक शिक्षिका, मध्य प्रदेश की माधवी गौर जी की कहानी। सीहौर के सरकारी विद्यालय में वे पिछले 12 वर्षों से पढ़ा रही हैं और बच्चों के लिए सीखने को अर्थपूर्ण और जीवंत बनाने में जुटी हैं। ➡️ tinyurl.com/MadhviGour-MP मध्य प्रदेश का FLN मिशन – मिशन अंकुर – ऐसे ही शिक्षकों के द्वारा आगे बढ़ रहा है, जो निपुण भारत और NEP 2020 के लक्ष्यों को साकार करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। #मिशनअंकुर #निपुणभारत #NEP2020 #MissionAnkur #MPEducation #MadhyaPradesh #FoundationalLearning #TeacherStory

[1 of 2] This #InternationalDayOfPlay, let us celebrate the power of play in children's learning! Because when children play, they explore ideas and build curiosity, develop social & emotional skills, learn the basics of language, develop creative skills and understand the world around them. ✨ The National Education Policy (#NEP2020) too envisions early childhood education through Anganwadi Centres and Balvatikas, with “high-quality infrastructure, play equipment, and well-trained teachers”.

उत्तर प्रदेश में निपुण भारत मिशन का विस्तार अब कक्षा 5 तक किए जाने की तैयारी है। कक्षा 3 से 5 के विद्यार्थियों के लिए नए अधिगम लक्ष्य और दक्षताएं निर्धारित की जा रही हैं, जिससे बच्चों की सीखने की बुनियाद और अधिक मजबूत हो सके। गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा और बेहतर अधिगम परिणामों की दिशा में यह एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है। #BasicEducation #SamagraShiksha #BasicEducationUP #BasicShikshaUP

As India progresses towards its goal of becoming a #ViksitBharat by 2047, the need to focus on quality education and improved learning outcomes for every child becomes even more critical. Philanthropic capital can act as a catalytic enabler in this regard, providing systemic support in education by driving testing and innovations, catalysing innovative financing models, informing policy reform, strengthening classroom implementation and so much more. 💫 Tune in to this exclusive conversation with Sh. Rakesh Bharti Mittal (Vice-Chairman, Bharti Enterprises), @AshishDhawanTCF (Founder Chairperson, Central Square Foundation) and Ishmeet Singh (CEO, Central Square Foundation) on how philanthropy can act as a catalytic partner to the government in strengthening public education systems. ➡️ Full conversation: tinyurl.com/ModeratedChat . . #EDuConclave2026 #Philanthropy #Capital #NEP2020 #InvestmentIdeas #IndiaEducation #IndiaLeads #Progress #SystemsReform

अब खेल-खेल में होगी पढ़ाई की शुरुआत बालवाटिका के माध्यम से 3 से 6 वर्ष आयु वर्ग के बच्चों के लिए सीखने का नया और रोचक वातावरण तैयार किया जा रहा है। गतिविधि आधारित शिक्षण मॉडल के जरिए बच्चे खेलते, समझते और सीखते हुए अपनी शैक्षिक यात्रा की मजबूत शुरुआत करेंगे। राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा नीति-2020 के अनुरूप यह पहल बच्चों की जिज्ञासा, रचनात्मकता और सीखने की क्षमता को प्रारंभिक स्तर से ही विकसित करने का मार्ग प्रशस्त करेगी। हर नौनिहाल को मिलेगी सीखने की बेहतर शुरुआत। #SchoolChaloAbhiyanUP #BasicEducation #SchoolEducation #SamagraShiksha #BasicEducationUP #BasicShikshaUP
