In a decisive step towards fostering educational excellence and reform, Zee News proudly announces the launch of ‘Ideas on Education’, a distinguished platform dedicated to reimagining the future of learning in India. Scheduled for 28th April 2025 at The Lalit, New Delhi, this transformative initiative will bring together some of the nation’s most influential policymakers, education leaders, and visionaries to deliberate on the evolving dynamics of education in the 21st century. Designed to ignite critical conversations and inspire progressive reforms, ‘Ideas on Education’ stands as a testament to Zee News’ commitment to shaping India’s educational ecosystem.
At a time when the global landscape is being redefined by rapid technological advancement and shifting societal needs, education sits at the core of national progress. ‘Ideas on Education’ seeks to become a catalyst for change by hosting in-depth discussions around the implementation of the National Education Policy, the integration of digital tools in classrooms, the strengthening of higher education, and the creation of inclusive, accessible models that leave no learner behind. The presence of some of India’s most esteemed dignitaries — including Smt. Rekha Gupta, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi; Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, Minister of State for Education, Government of India; Dr. Prem Chand Bairwa, Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister, Rajasthan; Shri Vineet Joshi, Secretary, Department of Higher Education; Shri Ashish Sood, Education Minister, Delhi; Shri Yogendra Upadhyay, Education Minister, Uttar Pradesh; Shri Mahipal Dhanda, Education Minister, Haryana; Shri Harjot Bains, Education Minister, Punjab; and Shri Dhan Singh Rawat, Education Minister, Uttarakhand — will ensure that the forum captures regional diversity and grassroots realities, crafting a dialogue that is as inclusive as it is visionary.
The purpose of ‘Ideas on Education’ is to bridge the gap between policy and practice, theory and transformation. It seeks to spark a movement where ideas are not confined to academic circles but translated into action on the ground. Through this initiative, Zee News endeavours to align educational aspirations with national ambitions, ensuring that India’s youth are empowered to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive world. By focusing on innovation, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability, the event aspires to chart a collaborative pathway that will influence future educational policies and practices for years to come.
