Indian Education Board to integrate modern learning with indigenous knowledge and Patanjali’s wisdom: Dr. N.P. Singh

Prayagraj – In a seminar held at the AMA Convention Center, Dr. N.P. Singh, Executive Chairman of the Indian Education Board and retired IAS officer, outlined the vision behind the Board. He emphasized that the Board seeks to revive indigenous education while harmonizing it with modern learning. “The country needs an education system that instills self-respect, Indian values, ethics, leadership skills, and a global outlook in students,” Dr. Singh stated. The Indian Education Board is recognized at par with national and state education boards.

Dr. Singh highlighted that the curriculum blends traditional Indian knowledge with contemporary science and technology. It incorporates teachings from the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Jain and Buddhist philosophies, and the yogic wisdom of Patanjali, alongside stories of Indian heroes, constitutional values, and Gurukul traditions. Young students are introduced to these concepts through stories and poems, while older students undertake in-depth study. The curriculum also features the lives of approximately 120 notable Indian figures.

The system is designed not only to make students employable but also to prepare them for entrepreneurship. It aligns with competitive examinations such as UPSC, JEE, and NEET. The Board provides recognition for schools from classes 9 to 12, while schools from classes 1 to 8 can seek accreditation from the Indian Education Board.

The seminar included dignitaries such as Joint Education Director Ram Narayan Vishwakarma, District School Inspector P.N. Singh, and Joint Registrar of Allahabad University, Major Dr. Harsh Kumar. Shri Bhagwan Singh, State In-Charge of Bharat Swabhiman, also attended. The program was conducted by Brij Mohan, with hundreds of school managers and representatives from Prayagraj and Kaushambi districts, along with Board coordinators Rajan Vishwakarma, Virendra Singh, Aryan Sahu, and Shubham, in attendance.
