New Delhi, June 28: Ved Prakash, former Under Secretary of NCERT, shared his views on various pressing issues including the education system, the Ram Temple incident, paper leaks, and Prime Minister Modi‘s foreign tours. He emphasized the need for curriculum reforms, transparency in examination systems, and a balanced approach to national issues.
Regarding changes to the NCERT syllabus under the new education policy, Ved Prakash stated, “The new education policy mandates that the textbooks we create should be competency-based. This time, we have included six chapters in the social studies book to provide extensive information. I believe children should be informed about the country’s organizations to raise their awareness. Today’s children are quite intelligent; they will understand how to utilize this knowledge.”
Expressing his sorrow over the theft at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, he remarked, “This is very unfortunate and should not have happened. This is a matter of faith, not money. It is a theft of faith. Both the central and state governments need to collaborate to prevent such incidents in the future. There seems to have been a lapse in the trust’s operations.”
He also voiced concerns about the ongoing paper leak incidents across the country, saying, “I believe the system needs some improvements. During my tenure, I organized examinations, and we never faced any paper leak issues in the National Talent Search Examination. We need to be more vigilant and rectify the system. Both the administration and police must be involved; otherwise, the future of our children will continue to be at risk.”
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign tours, Ved Prakash noted, “The Prime Minister’s foreign visits are very beneficial. Whenever he travels abroad, he brings back advantageous outcomes for the country. There is no doubt about that. Whether it’s gaining respect or securing business deals and trade agreements, all these are in the national interest. Therefore, questioning this is not appropriate.”
