Broken Roots, Stolen Futures: Reforming Indian Education for a Vikasit Bharat

By: Krishnan V S

Broken Roots, Stolen Futures is a powerful and thought-provoking examination of the challenges facing India's education system at a critical moment in the nation's journey toward Vikasit Bharat. In a country where millions of young minds represent the promise of tomorrow, education must do more than produce degrees-it must shape character, competence, and responsible citizenship.

Drawing on lived experience and deep concern for India's future, the author outlines practical pathways to rebuild education on four essential pillars: strong national policy, empowered teachers, transparent and accountable systems, and a curriculum that balances knowledge with values and citizenship.
