The National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) celebrated its 19th Foundation Day today. Ram Madhav, political thinker and author, attended the event as the chief guest. He delivered a lecture on the topic “Preparing India for the Emerging New World”.
During the Foundation Day lecture, Madhav urged the gathered students to pursue educational transformation, rising above challenges with innovation and dignity for all. He expressed the desire to see India lead the world with “original ideas” and “compassionate action”.
“Today, we often hear the phrase 'new world order' in public discourse. What does it truly mean? To understand where we are heading, and to prepare our country for that journey, is, in my view, a patriotic duty. The future is no longer distant, but already upon us,” Madhav added.
