Exposure to different cultures should be part of public education, not a privilege reserved for wealthy families. Travel, exchange, and cultural immersion broaden outlooks in ways classrooms alone cannot.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 60-minute Cambridge lecture by Demis Hassabis will teach you more about the future of AI than most people will learn in the next 5 years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
Education should create polymaths, not just specialists.
Right now it trains depth in one lane, while ignoring how other systems connect.
So we end up with leaders who know one thing well, but try to solve problems across fields they barely understand. #mhrd
Education should reflect native realities so students can connect the dots around them.
Global literature and cartoons can mislead within the Indian social fabric.
Without local grounding, education produces people fluent in ideas but disconnected from their own society.

➡️ With talent, design, and manufacturing ecosystems in place, India will be among the major semicon players by 2032.
➡️ AI will reshape every aspect of life, society, and industry. India must have sovereign capabilities in AI.
Real-life tests come suddenly—you can’t prepare. Exam-focused education creates panic, not judgment, so many fail outside school. Toppers often fail harder. Over-care is slow poison. Parents and the system kill talent by rewarding obedience, not ability. #education_reform#MHRD
Education needs a reset. The fear of maths isn’t the students’ fault — it’s the system’s. Maths is as important as literature, not more, not less. Text explains the idea; maths explains the logic. Both are tools, not subjects to fear.

Our research ecosystem needs a reset.
Too much knowledge is locked inside departments, labs, even within the same team.
This slows innovation.
With due credit to every individual, an open-source academic and research framework is the only way forward.

@mrsinha I am going to Dubai next month, could you provide me the address of the temple. I only know about a temple in Abudhabi, please let me know. Urgent
Western philosophy trains the mind how to think; Indian philosophy guides you how to look inward—our “Darshan.”
Both together give students the basic tools to learn, reflect, and grow.
It’s time philosophy becomes a core part of Indian education.

Discussing people is useless, and discussing events aren’t much better. Only ideas help a society think. Discussing ideas should be rewarded. @EduMinOfIndia — education reform must move in this direction. #MHRD
