India is youngest nation, with highest proportion of
                                       young population. When other developed countries
                                       of the world are facing problem of ‘aging’, India is

                                       years. The question to be addressed is how to take

    21st Century skills cannot be taught in the classroom environment only. It is very
    important for student to become Aatm-Nribhar.  Aatm-Nirbhar Bharat is vision for
    making India self-reliant nation. The mission should not be taken in the sense of
    cutting off from rest of the world, rather it means greater global integration but no
    dependence on any other country for national requirement. At micro level
    success of Aatm-Nirbhar Bharat depend on Aatm-Nirbhar Student. The
    philosophy of Aatm-Nirbhar (self-reliance) should be imbibe in the education
    system and mindset of students, parents and teachers. Students need to be self-
    reliance in terms of their teaching and learning process. Classroom learning is one
    small aspect of their broader leaning process. Lot of learning can take place
    outside the class, provided one is ready for the same. New education policy
    recently announced by government also focuses on creating an environment of
    learning which is more towards skill development rather than mugging up for
    getting marks. The process of becoming Aatm-Nirbhar student will surely start
    from classroom where initial interaction between
    teacher and students takes place. Classroom learning is
    foundation, where you study concepts and theories
    related to subject. But most of the time students stops
    at that point only, focusing only on classroom teaching
    which more syllabus is focused. You need to learn the
    process of application of concepts and theories in
    real life, personal and professions. You should not
    depend on anyone for learning process. Using available
    resources at your disposal start the learning process,
    and take help from your teachers and mentors.
    What is more important is to decide your life goal and
    start your self-learning process in that direction.                                           17
