He expressed satisfaction that Balbharati provides textbooks that not only follow the regular curriculum but also incorporate employment-oriented and agriculture-related subjects, arts, and sports, fostering a strong connection with the land.
"Priority to Research and Innovation": Bhuse
Bhuse assured that the new system would prioritise research, nurturing a scientific mindset among students.
“An education system that encourages research and innovation will be developed. Additionally, new and creative initiatives will also be implemented,” he stated.
Bhuse conducted a comprehensive review of Balbharati’s functioning and directed officials to explore ways to distribute textbooks directly to the taluka level. He further instructed that Balbharati’s operations be entirely computer-based to align with modern technological advancements.
He also emphasized that while integrating the central NCERT curriculum, state-specific content must be included to ensure local relevance. “The curriculum should be engaging so that students enjoy learning,” he added.
During the meeting, Minister Bhuse also inaugurated a newly developed textbook for students interested in learning the German language.
The meeting was attended by Principal Secretary Ranjitsingh Deol, School Education Commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh, and SCERT Director Dr. Rahul Rekhawar, who provided insights into various initiatives in the school education curriculum. Balbharati Director Krishnakumar Patil presented an overview of Balbharati’s operations.
"With a focus on research, employment readiness, and technology-driven education, the Maharashtra government aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the future," Bhuse said.
