In an effort to revolutionize the learning landscape of India, the Union Human Resource Development Minister has embarked upon the initiation of the Pradhan Mantri Innovative Learning Programme, christened ‘DHRUV’. This ambitious initiative is primarily aimed at tapping into the reservoir of the country’s young talent, helping them to fully exploit their potential and consequently, make meaningful contributions to society. In line with its namesake, the Pole Star or ‘Dhruv Tara’, the programme seeks to enable students to not only excel in their respective fields but also become trailblazers for peers to emulate.
Understanding DHRUV: A unique Learning Initiative
DHRUV, a paradigm-shifting educational initiative, aims to create an enriching environment for exceptional students from all corners of the country. The programme encompasses two diverse domains – Science and Performing Arts, thus aligning with the interests and aptitudes of a broad spectrum of students.
Under this initiative, 60 shining stars (or Dhruv Taras), encompassing 30 students from each mentioned discipline, will be handpicked. These selected prodigies will primarily be from grades 9 through 12 across all schools, spanning both governmental and private institutions.
The Impact of DHRUV on India’s Learning Landscape
The primary goal of DHRUV is to create an inclusive space for talented students, fostering their skills and abilities so that they can rise and shine like the Pole Star – unwavering and inspirational. This initiative is expected to bring about a significant shift in the country’s education system by recognizing and nurturing exceptional talent early on.
By creating a conducive learning environment, DHRUV is poised to bring out the best in each student, enhancing their knowledge and skills, and enabling them to contribute effectively to society. Notably, the programme’s impact spans beyond individual progress, inspiring peers to strive for excellence, and also bringing about a positive change in the overall learning ecosystem.
Selection process and Criteria
The DHRUV programme premises itself on the cultivation of exceptional talent. Thus, a stringent selection process is adopted to ensure only truly deserving candidates are chosen. The initiative is open to all students hailing from both government and private schools, thereby encompassing a diverse demographic.
