Delhi Government Launches New Education Initiatives for Schools

New Education Initiatives to be Launched Tomorrow

 

The Delhi government will launch three new education initiatives at its schools at a special function tomorrow at 1 PM at Bharat Mandapam. This is coinciding with the second day of Seva Pakhwada, a two-week public service and people-oriented activity to mark the birthday of the Prime Minister.

 

Rashtraneeti: Empowering Student Leadership

 

According to the Education Department, the flagship program shall be called Rashtraneeti. This scheme will set up at least seven student-run committees within the schools to tackle serious concerns like environmental issues, anti-bullying strategies, and canteen affairs.

Students will get the chance to vote for their representatives at school level, with the support of teachers. Authorities expect the initiative to allow students to develop useful experience in decision-making, team work, and leadership.

 

NEEEV: Developing Entrepreneurial Skills

 

Another program, NEEEV (New Era of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Vision), will target students in grades 8 to 12, aiming to cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets. This initiative will feature startup competitions, motivational talks from industry leaders, and the establishment of innovation councils at both school and district levels.

 

Selected student projects may receive financial backing of up to ₹20,000.

 

The Science of Living promotes Mental Well-being

 

Lessons on cybersecurity and digital detox will also be introduced. The students will have hands-on activities, including cleaning the Yamuna River, role-plays, and puppet shows.

In addition, the Delhi government is set to organize a tree-planting function with diplomats and open 500 new Anganwadis.
