He underscored the importance of personalized learning, technology integration, and evolving assessment methods, while also reaffirming the enduring values of critical thinking and ethical understanding in education.

The seminar encouraged dialogue among educators, with a Q & A session that allowed participants to share experiences and seek advice on implementing these innovative strategies. Overall, the event highlighted effective practices for adapting to the NEP 2020 framework, fostering a collaborative atmosphere among educators to enhance teaching and learning.
