OCTOBER NEWS.Pmd Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education 1 Connect Our view Editorial Nai Talim gets nationwide boost September 5, 2018 is a red-letter day in the annals of the Mahatma Gandhi National Council for Rural Education. For, on this day the administration in most of the 36 States/Union Territories across the country had a very special item on the agenda for the main Teacher’s Day function: the release of ‘Experiential Learning: Gandhiji’s Nai Talim’, a book brought out by MGNCRE in 13 major Indian languages for the first time post Independence. In some States/UTs, the book was released on September 8 – Literacy Day. Governors, chief ministers, deputy chief ministers, education ministers as well as top-level administrators of education departments formally released the book, as part of the nationwide movement in educational institutions to promote Nai Talim, Work Education, Experiential Learning and Community Engagement in the run-up to Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary celebrations. Gandhiji’s Nai Talim or basic education is a holistic approach of developing body, mind and soul (hands, head and heart) by making a productive art, craft or community engagement activity the centre of learning. He said “By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man -- body, mind and spirit”. MGNCRE, on its part, has been making special efforts with regard to school and teacher education in the areas of work education and experiential learning through the education departments of Universities, Central and State governments as well as SCERTs. It conducted National Consultation Workshops and Seminars, involving Universities, SCERTs and NCERT, prior to finalization of the draft curriculum presented in the book. The book contains the basic principles of Gandhiji’s Nai Talim, along with Work Education curriculum for schools, D Ed and B Ed, Master Trainer Development Programme and Faculty Development Programme. It will be the mainstay of MGNCRE in its programme to cover progressively 25 crore students of educational institutions at different levels in the country, involving 80 lakh primary school teachers and 20 lakh secondary school teachers, spread over 17.5 lakh primary schools and 2.5 lakh secondary schools. It is heartening to note that the period 26th September to October 2nd was celebrated as Nai Talim Week, with students and faculty members in educational institutions across the country taking forward Nai Talim. This issue highlights the launch functions in various States and Union Territories as well as vignettes of the ensuing Workshops, Master Trainers Development Programmes and Faculty Development Programmes, capturing for posterity some of the finest moments of MGNCRE. Dr W G Prasanna Kumar Chairman MGNCRE Message Tipping Point There is always a tipping point in the history of NCC and NSS units, would have a band of volunteers who organizations that are focused on growth, after having laid are willing, robust, equipped and energized to herald a strong foundation. Once that point is reached, there is change in rural areas and temper lifestyle changes in no looking back. We at MGNCRE seem to have reached urban areas. this crucial point of inflection, at which growth is bound to gather momentum in the years ahead. Nai Talim, Experiential Learning, Work Education or Community Engagement will then be the common thread The overwhelming response to the launch of ‘Experiential that runs through a much-needed system of education that Learning: Gandhijis Nai Talim’, module containing draft is based on values and simultaneously fosters physical, curriculum developed by MGNCRE through national psychological and spiritual dimensions of human beings workshops, seminars and consultations across the country, in community-centric living. on Teacher’s Day/Literacy Day this year gives us hope that the day is not far when every school/college will have a Dr Bharat Pathak full-fledged Nai Talim wing.

  • Nai Talim and Gandhian Approaches to Development
    Nai Talim and Gandhian Approaches to Development PCF6: Sub-Theme 3: Skill Development, Topic: Global Development Discourses; North-South Dialogues By Ram Takwale, I-CONSENT, Pune, India, [email protected] Vivek Sawant. MKCL, Pune, India, [email protected] M N Deshmukh, I-CONSENT, Pune, India, [email protected] NAI TALIM METHODOLOGY OF MAHATMA GANDHI Mahatma Gandhi has given his scheme of Nai Talim (New Education) in a well formulated approach to education in 1937 in his news paper ‘Harijan’. It is a well developed philosophy of education based on experiments he did right from 1904 when he was in South Africa to his stay in ashrams in India at Sabarmati (Gujarat) and Sevagram (Maharashtra). It is an approach to the total personality development of body, mind and spirit and was based on four basic principles (Panse 2007): i. Education or learning in mother tongue along with handicraft work, ii. Work should be linked with most useful vocational needs of the locality, iii. Learning should be linked with vocational work, and iv. Work should be socially useful and productive needed for living. This approach of work centric education with technology accessible locally was the basic approach of Nai Talim. It is essentially a mass education approach due to its centrality of socially useful work, and was expected to create National System of Education. Failure of Nai Talim in Implementation History of inducting Nai Talim in Indian education system has been a story of failure. After Indian independence in 1947, Nai Talim was introduced in some states in India in primary schools.

  • Impact of Mahatama Gandhi's Nai Taleem on the New
    © 2020 JETIR October 2020, Volume 7, Issue 10 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) IMPACT OF MAHATAMA GANDHI’S NAI TALEEM ON THE NEW EDUCATION POLICY 2020: AN ANALYSIS Dr. Payal Gupta Associate Professor, Department of B.Ed., Shri Jai Narain Misra P.G. College, Lucknow. Abstract Quality Education is a significant tool in achieving social development and social equality. Education plays a key role in the foundation of a sustainable society. It encourages tolerance and turns the learners into self-reliant individuals who are capable of facing the challenges of life. It helps in the social and political progress of the nation by giving its citizens a voice to speak up and enhancing their productivity and competitiveness. Mahatma Gandhi viewed quality education as one that focusses on the holistic development of the learner and equipping him with the necessary basic skills. His Nai Talim also referred to as Basic Education or Buniyadi Shiksha formed the base of many educational practices that were implemented in our nation. It stressed on bringing up a sustainable society by nurturing its learners with values like non-violence, truth, empathy, compassion, courage, resilience etc. Providing quality education to the learners is still a major developmental goal to be accomplished by the country. This paper shall analyse the National Education Policy 2020 in the perspective of Gandhi’s views on Nai Talim and Education and the relevance of his views in contemporary India. This paper proposes that we can bring up an empowered and self-sustaining nation by viewing the Nai Talim as a roadmap in the implementation of NPE 2020.

  • Transformative Cosmopolitan Education and Gandhi's Relevance
    International Journal of Lang-Wojtasik, G. (2018) ‘Transformative cosmopolitan Development Education and Global Learning education and Gandhi’s relevance today’. International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning, 10 (1): 72–89. DOI https://doi.org/10.18546/IJDEGL.10.1.06 Transformative cosmopolitan education and Gandhi’s relevance today Gregor Lang-Wojtasik* – University of Education, Weingarten, Germany This article is dedicated to Daniel Mazgaonkar, Bombay Sarvodaya Friendship Center. Abstract The understanding of transformative education in this article is based on the principles and practice of global learning. Globalization is understood as a transformative process creating challenges for society, human beings and education. Global learning, framed within sustainability and justice, is understood as a way of handling the transformative challenges of a world society. It is embedded in processes of European history. In this way, it is possible to see global learning as world societal literacy that goes beyond reading and writing, and to understand it as another level of enlightenment. To do so, I refer to the social, philosophical and educational ideas of M.K. Gandhi, also known as Mahatma (‘great soul’) (1869–1948), which still create a basis for reform- oriented concepts of basic education, literacy and sociopolitical literacy in India today. These are historical concepts concerning transformation of the self and education as a means of handling transformative societies beyond an existing understanding of Western civilization in a systematic way. The concluding concept of transformative cosmopolitan education presents World Nai Talim as a basis for an enlightenment that is equally applicable to both the Global South and North.

  • Adivasi Education: Forced Assimilation, Gandhi's Nai Talim and Contemporary Alternatives
    “Adivasi Education: Forced Assimilation, Gandhi’s Nai Talim and Contemporary Alternatives” By Malvika Gupta and Felix Padel Widespread closing down of village schools A policy of rapidly promoting boarding schools for tribal children is undermining some of India‟s most ancient, cohesive and sustainable cultures and imposing a harsh, alien discipline onto children, who are often traumatised by removal from their families. Ground realities and alternatives need much wider, deeper attention, including models in line with Gandhi‟s revolutionary „basic education‟ or nai talim. Throughout India, schools in Adivasi villages are getting closed down at an alarming rate. This is justified through longstanding problems of absentee teachers and high rates of children dropping out - basically a lame excuse, that does not explain the speed of present closures. For example, 2,918 village schools were closed down by order of the Department of Education in Chhattisgarh on 15th June 2015. Incredibly, this policy was supposedly formulated to comply with the Right to Education Act (2009), which specified a student:teacher ratio norm of 30:1. The Chhattisgarh government has been closing schools where there is a ratio of fewer pupils per teacher, with a state average of 23:1 – even though fewer pupils to teachers should imply better quality education! As a result of this „rationalisation‟, many children now have to walk much further to school, or enroll in a boarding school far from home. 40 of these village schools are in Lohandiguda block of Bastar district, where Tata Steel wants to build a controversial new steel plant. Closing schools here obviously limits the options of local children whose need for education will increase if the steel plant is built and they are to get worthwhile local jobs (Subramaniam 2015).
