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
