21st century is about empowerment through knowledge: Education Minister

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan inaugurated ‘Future of Learning Collaborative’ at Anant National University on March 28, 2023. The collaborative is set to address critical challenges and devise plausible solutions to deliver high-quality education.

Speaking on the occasion Pradhan said that the 21st century is the century of empowerment through knowledge. He stated that people-centric solutions are the core of education for a sustainable future and holistic thinking is the pathway. Further, he highlighted that the Indic way of living and knowledge traditions are based on the concept of ‘Samagra’. Modern day holistic thinking is nothing but an expression of Indic traditions. Design thinking today gives us an opportunity to reinvent the Indic process for human welfare, he added.

Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman of the University Grants Commission, and 28 delegates from five continents, including Europe, South America, North America, the Middle East, and Asia were also present at the said event.
