Dynamic real estate executive and energy entrepreneur Darshan Hiranandani now pursues a mission to revamp education formats in India. Using his innovative outlook and business-oriented mentality Darshan takes aim to repair the Indian education system's weaknesses while fostering a generation ready to face challenges.
Identifying the Challenges With a vast educational system ranking among the world's biggest, India continues to confront multiple educational challenges. The educational system faces obstacles since it uses outdated educational materials along with weak physical facilities and neglects skills education. Educational access has improved but substantial quality issues and relevance problems remain active within the system. According to Darshan education should transform and adapt its content to modern technological advances so India's youth will excel on international platforms.
A Focus on Technology and Innovation Technology stands as the core element within Darshan's strategic approach to developing the educational system. Darshan believes smart classrooms should contain digital educational tools which create engaging interactive learning spaces. Through technological innovations he believes access to top-quality educational resources spans throughout the remotest areas. Through virtual learning platforms and AI-driven personalized education and digital resources students can receive revamped educational experiences that will prevent anyone from becoming excluded from learning.
Skill-Based Learning
Darshan emphasizes the need to shift from rote learning to skill-based education. He believes students should be equipped with practical skills that align with industry demands. From coding and artificial intelligence to critical thinking and problem-solving, the focus should be on preparing students for real-world challenges.
“The future of work will be dominated by technology and innovation. We need to train our students for jobs that don’t even exist yet,” Darshan points out. By collaborating with industry leaders, institutions can offer programs that make students job-ready from day one.
Bridging the Urban-Rural Divide
Central to Darshan's educational vision is his dedication to resolve the substantial differences that exist between urban-based learning and rural-based learning. His work focuses on providing education of equal quality for rural students alongside standards available to students in urban areas. To achieve this goal we must construct advanced infrastructure while training educators and implementing digital delivery platforms for educational content. Educational access should function as a fundamental human right according to his stance, he argues.
Teacher Empowerment In his view teachers need empowerment as a central part of their work. School education systems depend on teachers for their existence. With proper training and tools alongside support for teachers our learning achievements will drastically increase according to Mr. Darshan. He envisions specialized programs that enhance teachers through contemporary educational practices and technological adoption and active learning principles.
Collaborating with the Government and Private Sector According to Darshan the necessary change requires coordinated efforts between public administration and private enterprises. Public-private alliances promote innovation through their funding of infrastructure development, and they expand proven educational methods across multiple locations. A major educational transformation depends on people working jointly toward positive change. Cooperation leads us to establish a system that serves everyone today, according to him.
A Vision for the Future Darshan’s vision is not just about improving education; it’s about shaping a brighter future for India. By focusing on technology, skill-based learning, and equal access, he aims to create a system that empowers students to reach their full potential. “Education is the foundation of progress. By investing in it, we invest in our country’s future,” he says.
As Darshan Hiranandani takes steps toward transforming education in India, his commitment to innovation and inclusivity offers hope for a system that truly serves the needs of its students. With leaders like him driving change, the dream of a world-class education system in India seems within reach.
