National Education Policy-2020
Education is the backbone of a nation and NEP provides the
strength to it. The National Education Policy 2020 is a comprehensive framework
that outlines the government's approach to education, covering all levels from
early childhood to higher education. It serves as guidance for educational
institutions, policymakers, educators, and stakeholders, aiming to address the
hindrances in imparting education.
It focuses on:-
- Holistic Education: It focuses
on the holistic development of the students. It encourages a multidisciplinary
approach to learning, nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and
problem-solving skills among students.
- Equitable Access: Access to knowledge must be made
easily achievable to all with an inclusive approach.
- Quality and Excellence: NEP-2020 focuses on imparting
quality education to all with continuous professional development and
induction of the latest technology.
- Promotion of Languages: NEP-2020 promotes
multilingualism and the preservation of regional languages. A student can
learn better in his/her own language. Knowledge knows no medium; it can be
attained/imparted in any language.
- Technology
Integration: We must embrace the latest technology to upgrade our teaching and learning strategies.

The Magical Power of Politeness: Unlocking the Importance of 'Sorry,' 'Thank You,' and 'Please'
In the hustle and bustle
of our daily lives, where communication often takes place through screens and
emojis, the magic of simple, yet profound, words like "sorry,"
"thank you," and "please" cannot be overstated. These words
are not mere social niceties; they are potent tools that build bridges, mend
relationships, and create a culture of respect and understanding. As the saying
goes, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are
truly endless."
Sorry- The Healing
Elixir:
The word
"sorry" holds the power to mend rifts and heal wounds. It is a
magical incantation that demonstrates humility, accountability, and a genuine
desire for reconciliation. As the Dalai Lama wisely noted, "When you lose,
don't lose the lesson." Apologising is not a sign of weakness but a
testament to emotional intelligence and the willingness to nurture healthy
relationships.
Thank You-
Gratitude's Enchanting Spell:
"Thank you" is
a magical phrase that transcends cultures and languages, expressing
appreciation and acknowledgment. Gratitude, as Oprah Winfrey reminds us, "shifts
your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already
present." Cultivating a habit of saying "thank you" not only
uplifts others but also nurtures a positive and appreciative mindset within
ourselves.
Please- The Key to
Collaboration:
"Please" is the
gentle request that opens doors to cooperation and collaboration. It is a word that
acknowledges the autonomy and goodwill of others. By incorporating
"please" into our requests, we cultivate an atmosphere of mutual
respect and consideration. The poet Kahlil Gibran captured this sentiment
beautifully: "I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from
the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to
these teachers."
Respectful
Communication:
The magical trio of "sorry," "thank you," and "please" lays the foundation for respectful communication. These words serve as a language of empathy, fostering an environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. When we use these magical words sincerely, we contribute to the creation of a positive and harmonious community, be it in classrooms, workplaces, or personal relationships.
In conclusion, the
importance of incorporating magical words like "sorry," "thank
you," and "please" into our daily interactions cannot be
overstated. These words are not just pleasantries; they are tools that foster emotional
intelligence, build strong connections, and contribute to a culture of respect
and understanding. As we navigate the complexities of our interconnected world,
let us not underestimate the transformative power of these simple, yet
enchanting, expressions. In the eloquent words of Aesop, "No act of
kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."

HORIZON
Another day comes soon,
Though the day before was bright,
The chance to fly new kites, to strive to do our best.
The steps which we have tripped on,
The days that went away,
Though we might just trip again, there’s a chance to soar high.
Even when the rainfall stops,
The next monsoon is bound to come,
Another patter, another drop like another memory under the sun.
As the heavens continue to glow,
We know not what is yet to be,
Forward, more friendships grow, like flowers under the pollen bees.
For even in the dusty dunes,
Barren fields or foreign seas,
Hope is there yet to be found, it depends on us to seek.
