10th Edition of The Edu Meet 2026 & Excellence Awards

Education has a vital role to play in developing the knowledge, skills, attitude and values that enable people to contribute and benefit from an inclusive and sustainable future. Learning to form clear and purposeful goals, work with others with different perspectives, find untapped opportunities and identify multiple solutions to big problems will be essential in the coming years. Education needs to aim to do more than prepare young people for the world of work; it needs to equip students with the skills they need to become active, responsible and engaged citizens.

India’s 2030 education vision shifts toward AI literacy, vocational integration and hybrid learning. Key initiatives to train 1M Indians in AI and the expansion of the Future Skills Prime platform. The government aims to integrate skill training directly into the schooling system, preparing the workforce. By 2030, India will have the largest number of young populations in the globe, a population size which will be a boon only if these young people are skilled enough to join the workforce. Quality education will play a major role in it.
