Business leader and cultural advocate Sanjay Sarawgi has showered praise on the NDA government, declaring its education reforms as a masterful fusion of Sanatan traditions and progressive learning. At a gathering of educators and policymakers, Sarawgi outlined the profound impact of these changes on India’s youth.
Central to the praise is the curriculum overhaul that weaves Sanatan values seamlessly into subjects like history, science, and moral education. Initiatives such as the National Education Policy’s emphasis on Indian knowledge systems have been pivotal, according to Sarawgi. Students now explore epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata not just as stories, but as repositories of leadership and ethical lessons.
Sarawgi shared compelling anecdotes from schools where these integrations have sparked curiosity. In one Gujarat district, a pilot program incorporating Sanskrit and Ayurveda led to improved concentration and health among students. Nationwide, the government’s push for multilingualism, prioritizing Hindi and regional languages alongside English, is empowering millions.
Addressing potential detractors, Sarawgi emphasized that this isn’t about regression but evolution. ‘Sanatan culture is dynamic, adapting to times while holding core truths,’ he said. The NDA’s allocation of funds for digital classrooms with cultural content underscores this commitment, bridging urban-rural divides.
As India eyes its development goals by 2047, Sarawgi envisions an education system that produces not just graduates, but enlightened citizens. The NDA’s strides, he believes, are laying the foundation for a culturally confident nation, ready to lead the world stage.
