Abstract

John F. Kennedy once stated “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” The globe is changing dramatically fast, as are technological advancements. In practically every technologically advanced region of the world, we observe some form of technology invention or advancement occurring every day. People having critical thinking skills are needed for these professions that have been created as a result of the enormous advances made in artificial intelligence in order to both execute them and, inevitably, to survive on the planet by earning their livelihood. Governmental public policy formulations and implications are very crucial. In this regard, the most recent National Education Policy, 2020 from the government is centered on developing a skilled workforce to make India compete with any influential and powerful region on the planet. As it is clearly mentioned in Section 4.4 of the National Education Policy that “The aim of education will not only be cognitive development, but also building character and creating holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with the key 21st century skills.”
