What is it? It is a ministry of the Government of India responsible for implementation of national policy on education, like NP 2020 has also come, NP 1986 is there. Okay, who makes all these education policies? MHRD, Ministry of Human Resource Development or Ministry of Education is responsible for making these policies and implementing them. MHRD is responsible for the development of the necessary infrastructure for the education sector. They make policies and also execute them. Actually, whatever development happens, they also bring it into execution. The motto of the organization is to establish model education in the country so that the socio-economic status of the country can also become strong and if any foreign students come, they should not hesitate in competing with them or they should not feel that they lack knowledge or that they are inferior in any way. Behind them the MHRD full form suggests it is important for the growth of human resources and development of any country then MHRD holds the locus of control of two departments.
Importance :
There are two departments under it first is the Department of School Education and Literacy now see what is under it School Education and Literacy which deals with schools this organization provides learning technology, school based development of students scholarship of teaching and learning and many other benefits for students i.e. whatever deals with primary secondary and senior secondary education, this department does it divided into two departments, we will discuss higher education now so school education which is upto senior secondary level and all the things that are under it, any policies that have to be made or implemented, whatever things are there, it looks like this, second is Department of Higher Education so after school our higher education starts so whatever things are required for higher education, any policy that is in it There are considerations and this department looks after all this. It does not pay any attention to the schooling level and the schooling level department does not pay any attention to higher education. It means to individual departments, they are there to look after their own departments. Alright, it takes care of college radiation, higher secondary studies and higher studies at the global level. Global level means not only at the level of our country, even if the child goes abroad or competes with someone, then he should feel that we have so much sufficient knowledge or we can stand over there in comparison to the other students as well. This department focuses on the education that the student passes after completion of their senior secondary classes, university level courses. The courses that we do at the university level, be it graduation, post graduation, diploma courses or any training courses, our technical courses, alright, they come under this department. I hope this is clear, so now we will see the Objectives of MHRD Now see, if we talk about the role, the first role is its objectives, so let us discuss the objectives separately because even in short questions only objectives can be asked from you, so these are all four objectives.
Objectives :
Its main objectives are What is the first objective of MHRD to frame a national policy, to formulate a national policy on education and to ensure that it is implemented in letter and spirit. So, one thing should be implemented in return and secondly, the thing which should be implemented in the schools is paying attention to disadvantaged groups like poor females and the minorities, those who cannot afford or those who are in the minority, so that they can get education, taking care of these things, then provide financial help in the form of scholarships, loans and subsidies, financial help should be available, if someone is not able to study due to lack of money, then those families can get subsidies like loans, education loans, children should be given scholarships, then there is encouraging international cooperation in the field of education. Now see, education has become so complex that if we think only at the national level, then it will not work, the research papers that we read and what is their meaning Because it is worldwide, any person can write it online, whatever you read, that lecture can be uploaded from anywhere, okay, so international cooperation should also be encouraged. Now finally we will see the role. And see, we have already discussed the first point. The first point is the objective of the role. Now the second point is planning. What is planning? The central government. See, the education policy is applicable to the whole country. So, who plays the role of planning? The central government determines the targets. Or the plans that are to be made for education, policies are to be made. Who does all the planning do? By the central government. Then the third point is educational reforms. So, what is its meaning? See, it is made up of two words. Educational reforms. Regarding education, the form that we have made needs to be reformed. Formed again. Now, see, if any changes come, if we do not update it, then the system will continue to run in the old way. So, there is so much advancement in education. Research papers are coming out, technology is becoming so fast, so there should be reform in education as well. Who does the reform? Various commissions or committees are set up. As we have discussed earlier, no single institution or person is responsible for it. Many aspects have to be looked into, so many different suggestions are taken, recommendations are taken and different committees are set up for these so that all points are covered and no point is left out. And the one who is going to do the reform in the education policy, like the first one came, NP came in 1986, now NP 2020 has also come, so what is this, it has been updated.
Functionality :
Next is the organization. Now see, we make a policy so that we can implement it. When we implement it, we get to know whether there are any problems, all those things have been looked into before, so the organization should be like this. This is a role of MHRD, that its organization should also be paid attention to so that when we If it is implemented very smoothly, it should be able to work well in every institution in the education system and the teaching learning process should not be affected much or if we do any educational reforms, then that too should be implemented well and should be able to work well in the education system. Look clearly, the first role that we have discussed is the objective, so all the roles are according to that, that whatever we do, its objectives must be fulfilled. Alright, next point is number five, that is direction, now what is the meaning of direction?
To give a direction, who makes this entire system? It is the central government. But as we say that there is a principal in a school, then there are vice principals under him, coordinators under him and then teachers. So, according to that, if the central government is making it, then it cannot see everything, it gives directions, that is, it instructs or helps the state governments. The state governments tell the private or government schools that you have to implement this policy in such a way so that the education process can run on the right track. And how does this MHRD or MOE do it? Through the CAB Central Advisory Board of Education. This is a very important thing. Like, we discussed two departments in the beginning that there are two separate departments. There is a separate ministry for higher education which takes care of it. And there are separate departments for primary, secondary and senior secondary. So, the department for primary, secondary and senior secondary is related to that. When is the Central Advisory Board of Education? Next point number six is control. Now what is in control, how much control does the Central Government keep in its hands, how much control does it give to the local governments or how much control can the state government exercise? Well, giving privileges to everyone according to their respective powers or giving them the power to control how much control do you people have? It divides everything, how much control will the local bodies get, how much will the state get and the centre has all the control anyway. Well, then comes the pilot projects. So, first of all, we should know the meaning of pilot projects. Pilot projects are any small scale project, which we say is not embedded as a curriculum in the education system, but small scale implementation is that, to prove any project or any idea, to check its validity or to see how viable it is, pilot projects are created. So, if we talk about the education system of MHRD, then There are pilot projects here too.
Impact :
Like it is for the rural universities, some are made for textbooks, so who makes all these, the ministry makes them. Now next is the clearing house role. Now the Ministry of Education under MHRD has a clearing house role, that is, there is a lot of useful information here. Now basically what is the meaning of clearing house in education? It is a place where there are best practices or the teachers who are experts share the lessons they have learned or there are any early childhood programs, okay, there are some technical assistance centers for the institutions of higher education, there are states, what are all these, they are in the clearing house where they share each other's resources or whatever lessons are learned, they are submitted. Now next is Lion with UNESCO, so what is the meaning of Lion? Communication between the two parties. Okay, what are the two parties here? First is ours. The Ministry of Education and the other party, UNESCO, now there is coordination between these two or communication is established so that we can propagate their culture, we can propagate our culture. We are not the kind of people who only learn things about our country, we have a lot more to explore, so that can be achieved by having contact and proper healthy communication. Now the last point here is the opening of central institutes. Now see, the education system is not limited to just schools, colleges or universities. Central institutes have also been opened here, like there are some universities or national libraries, there are many museums which preserve our heritage or our past, we also get education from them, but a single central management or the central ministry cannot manage all this, so it has formed some of its advisory bodies which look after all these sectors carefully. First is the cab, which we have already discussed. Then there is NCERT, there is UGC, every organization has been assigned its own work. So friends, this was all about MHRD. I hope you have understood it well in detail. If you have understood it, then you can write the points well in your own language as well.
