Kochi, June 13 (UNI) RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat will attend the 'National Chintan Baithak and Education Conference' to be held on July 25, 26 and 27 at Piravom in Kerala.
Around 80 prominent educationists working at the national level are expected to participate in the Baithak in which the RSS Chief will attend as chief guest, said A. Vinod, National Co-ordinator of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas.
Discussions will include topics such as Bharatiya knowledge traditions, Bharatiya languages, modern education systems that foster self-reliance among the youth, life values, civic awareness, and environmental education. The Baithak will outline a roadmap in education for a Viksit Bharat.
The Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, which has been actively working for the last 20 years in the field of education to promote and integrate Bharatiya perspectives and indigenous content, will organise the event at the Adi Shankara Nilayam, the birthplace of Adi Shankaracharya and centre of the Chinmaya International Foundation.
Along with the organisational achievements, the meeting will evaluate the initiatives of Nyas, like 'Jñānotsavs' and the 'Jñāna Mahakumbh', which have been organised over the past five years to bring together various educational institutions working towards reinstating Bharatiya values in the education sector.
A separate education conference (Jñāna Sabha) will be held on July 27 and 28 at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, with participation from universities, central and state educational institutions, educational agencies, and private educational entrepreneurs who are contributing uniquely to the Bharatiya in education.
Vice Chancellors and Directors from around 200 institutions across Bharat will attend this gathering. The central theme of this Jñāna Sabha is "Education for a Viksit Bharat".
Distinguished personalities, including Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and spiritual leader), Sri Sri Ravishankar (Acharya of Jeevan Kala), H. Nagendra (Chancellor of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana), M (spiritual leader), and yoga guru Baba Ramdev, will grace the occasion.
The conference aims to deliberate on how collective efforts in education can pave the way for a developed Bharat. It will emphasise how upcoming generations can be prepared to face global challenges by integrating life values, civic consciousness, social harmony, and simple environmentally sustainable living as core elements of education.
The follow-up of Sankalpa Patras resolved at the Jñāna Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj and the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), especially on evaluation and research, will also be discussed.
To ensure the successful conduct of the conference, a meeting of workers will be held on June 27 at BTH in Ernakulam, he said.
