Dr. Vishwa Bandhu, Associate Professor, Department of Sanskrit, Tripura University, presented the introductory remarks. He shared a detailed account of the history of the establishment of the Nyas and its journey, which began with the ‘Shiksha Bachao Andolan’ (Save Education Movement) in 2004. He also outlined all the dimensions and projects of the Nyas. Highlighting the work done by the Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas over the past years, he traced its path from the Save Education Movement launched in Delhi in 2004 to the formal establishment of the Nyas in 2007. He further noted that the Nyas secured landmark judgments across 12 courts against distortions prevalent in academic curricula. The efforts of the Nyas include the formation of textbook boards in states like Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the promotion of Panchakosha-based education, campaigns against the “use and throw” culture, taking Mother Tongue Day and National Mathematics Day to the masses, integrating suggestions into the National Education Policy-2020, and several other achievements. Currently, the Nyas is running the “Education Campaign for Developed Bharat” and the “Call Bharat, Bharat” initiatives. The Nyas firmly believes that by 2047, when Bharat completes 100 years of independence, the country must become economically, materially, spiritually, and culturally prosperous, for which making the education system Bharat-centric is essential.
