In a bid to revolutionize education, NCERT has rolled out ‘Umang’, a radio series that blends entertainment with enlightenment. Aimed at making complex topics accessible, it reaches students and everyday listeners through simple, fun narratives, fostering a love for learning.
Ideal for audio learners, episodes like ‘Onam ke Rang’ unpack the legendary Onam festival from Kerala. Listeners are treated to enchanting stories of its origins, alongside lively descriptions of Pookalam arrangements, vibrant dances, thrilling boat races, and the opulent Sadhya meals that define the festivities.
This cultural deep-dive not only educates but celebrates India’s diversity, inviting everyone to partake in its traditions. Shifting gears, ‘Sapna Jo Sakar Hua’ dramatizes the invention of the airplane, from ancient aspirations to modern marvels, highlighting the power of determination amid setbacks.
The programs’ easy diction and interactive format ensure broad appeal. Stream them anytime on YouTube, internet radio, or catch live broadcasts from various stations across the country.
Adding to its stature, NCERT’s new deemed university status allows it to confer degrees from diplomas to PhDs, with permissions for off-campus and international centers. Backed by the Central Education Ministry, this expansion promises comprehensive academic opportunities, shaping the future of Indian education.
