Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the new National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 with an aim to introduce several changes in the Indian education system - from the school to college level.

The two earlier education policies were brought in 1968 and 1986.

It will bring the uncovered age group of 3-6 years under school curriculum, which has been recognized globally as the crucial stage for development of mental faculties of a child.


It will also have 12 years of schooling with three years of Anganwadi/ pre schooling.

By 2030, the minimum degree qualification for teaching will be a 4-year integrated B.Ed. degree.

Redistribute for equilibrium

  A n equilibrium is a state of system where all forces acting on a system is balanced and that is what we have been taught in our senior secondary education . We have multiple examples to understand this like a body floating on the surface of sea like a ship , demand and supply when becomes equal there is equilibrium , self doubt and confidence working together to maintain equilibrium and many more . I'm not writing about science but about equilibrium which do not reflects only about science but life too.   Before taking it further , I would like to ask , do you redistributes eggs so weight is even ?

Secularism and Communalism are the two different social ideologies. In simple words, the former one stands with the belief that religion should not influence or be involved in the organization of society, education, government, etc.   On the other hand,   the attempts to construct religious or ethnic identity, incite strife among people from different communities, and to stimulate communal violence between those groups, comes under the definition of communalism. The world has over 200 countries as a secular state, among which China, India, United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Bangladesh, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, South Africa, South and North Korea, Iraq, Poland, Sri Lanka,  are the most popular ones.

Which is more superior: Religion or humanity?

Religion and humanity have always been entwined with one another, laced in a beautiful yet cryptic mess with their relationship continuously being restructured by society. Both exist in the mind, soul and heart of every individual, weaving webs of connection across the globe and fusing together communities. Sometimes, it can be deemed as too difficult to isolate the two concepts of humanity and religion. Discovering where one concept ends and the other begins is considered confusing, thus bringing the question of ‘is religion or humanity more superior’ to light.                                            Courtesy : Forbes.com Only once you start to develop your understanding of the meaning behind the two notions of human interaction, do you begin to realise that humanity is far more superior to religion. Being the basis of society, humanity is the framework of how we, as humans,...
