Educational institutions set up by political and social thinkers during the freedom struggle will soon get a fresh burst of life thanks to efforts of the National Council of Educational Research and Training. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, D Purandeshwari, Minister of State for Human Resource Development, stated that “a lot of such schools were languishing due to the unsustainability of innovative ideas and ethos marked by a persistent pressure to conform and lack of financial resources”. The schools, inspired by the nationalist educational philosophy, will be selected from among those set up during India’s independence movement.
