As I pen this preface, I am driven by a profound sense of responsibility and optimism about the transformative potential of Indian education in the wake of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This book, The Future of Indian Education: Integrating Ancient Wisdom and Modern Innovation Post-NEP 2020, is born out of a deep conviction that India's journey toward becoming a global knowledge superpower hinges on a bold, synergistic integration of its timeless philosophical heritage and cutting-edge technological advancements. My vision is not merely to reform, but to reimagine education in a way that is distinctly Indian-rooted in the strategic wisdom of Chanakya Niti, empowered by the revolutionary capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), anchored in the moral clarity of Value Education, and nurtured through the sacred, personalized bond of the Guru-Shishya Parampara.
