“Citizen contribution in primary education coupled with policy to shape nation’s growth trajectory”: Dr Rukmini Banerji

“A deep focus on primary and pre-primary education has become a key focus area for India, and a lot depends on how much each one of us, as citizens of the country, can contribute to help children catch up and progress in terms of education. The Government has devised the New Education Policy and has adopted several other important initiatives. Now, all of us need to pitch in and play a decisive role in transforming India,” pointed out Dr Rukmini Banerji, Chief Executive Officer, Pratham Education Foundation, while delivering the Foundation Day lecture on, ‘Opportunities & Challenges for Education in Today’s India’, during IIM Bangalore’s 51^st Foundation Day celebrations, on 28 October 2024. The entire IIMB community, comprising faculty, former faculty, alumni, students and staff, were part of the event.
