Prayagraj: In a seminar conducted at the AMA Convention Center, Dr N P Singh, Executive Chairman of the Indian Education Board and retired IAS officer, outlined the motive behind the Board. He stated that the Board needs to revive indigenous education while harmonising it with modern learning. “The country needs an education system that instils self-respect, Indian values, ethics, leadership skills, and a global outlook in students,” he stated. The Indian Education Board is recognised at par with national and state education boards.

Dr Singh emphasised that the curriculum combines traditional Indian knowledge with contemporary science and technology. It assimilates teachings from the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Jain and Buddhist philosophies, and the yogic wisdom of Patanjali, along with stories of Indian heroes, constitutional values, and Gurukul traditions. 

Young students are familiarised  with these concepts via stories and poems, whereas older students take up in-depth study. The curriculum also features the lives of approximately 120 notable Indian figures.

The system is set up not only to make students employable but also to enable them for entrepreneurship. It aligns with competitive examinations such as UPSC, JEE, and NEET. The Board provides recognition for schools from classes 9 to 12, whereas schools from classes 1 to 8 can seek accreditation from the Indian Education Board.

The seminar comprised dignitaries such as Joint Education Director Ram Narayan Vishwakarma, District School Inspector P N Singh, and Joint Registrar of Allahabad University, Major Dr Harsh Kumar. Shri Bhagwan Singh, State In-Charge of Bharat Swabhiman, also attended. The programme was conducted by Brij Mohan, with hundreds of school managers and representatives from Prayagraj and Kaushambi districts, along with Board coordinators Rajan Vishwakarma, Virendra Singh, Aryan Sahu, and Shubham, in attendance.
