of Viksit Bharat by 2047, which can be realised only when every child in India has access to quality
education and the country achieves 100 per cent enrolment up to Class XII. He emphasised that bridging
learning gaps, reducing dropouts, improving learning and nutrition outcomes, strengthening teacher
capacity, fostering critical skills, and moving the ‘Amrit Peedhi’ beyond the Macaulay mindset are
collective responsibilities for building a strong human capital base.

reimagining Samagra Shiksha to make it outcome-oriented, globally competitive, rooted in Bharatiyata,
