The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) is all set to emerge as an epistemologically audacious and structurally transformative parliamentary missive with a mission to demolish stereotypes entrenched in bureaucratic inertia and regimental strangulation on one hand and to remove intellectual subservience to encourage sovereign excellence on the other through cognitive self-reliance, innovative co-existence, meritocratic leadership, creative pedagogy, all of which is facilitated by cementing and institutionalising a visionary architecture built on responsible autonomy coupled with autogenous discipline triggering the civilisational consciousness to regain the lost geopolitical stewardship through industry-aligned skilling and globally competitive standards capable of dismantling the scaffolds of fossilised colonial frameworks that were once advanced by legacy rent seeking regulatory monopolies and chaotic credentialism reducing universities to degree dispensing silos than engines of national progress with the Bill decisively integrating accountability and transparency linked with performance metrics to hopefully reward intellectual rigour, multi-disciplinary research, innovative entrepreneurship and societal impact, thereby enabling higher education institutions (HEIs) as catalysts of change by leapfrogging into an era of authoritative participation in global knowledge commons, grounding indigenisation, constitutional canulation, traditional continuum alongside emerging and frontier domains of science and technology embracing Artificial Intelligence, Bio-Nano, Cybeyphysical, Digital, Electronics, Energy and Environment (ECube), etc. that blends contemporaneous curriculum with ancient wisdom in a manner that is neither nostalgic nor derivative but boldly original to empower original thinking amongst learners who shall become active epistemic agents rather than passive recipients in a manner that is flexible, modular, multi-lingual, experiential and aligns with the career aspirations of the world’s largest demographic capital capable of oxygenating Bharat from strangulating suffocation supported by academic freedom, competitive compensation, sumptuous research endowments, elevated collaborations that restore teaching and scholarship to unimaginable positions of dignity and influence that can steer mission-driven centres of excellence supported by government grants, corporate philanthropy, virtuous cycle of intellectual property-based wealth creation through discoveries of massive societal impact, particularly in marginalised regions and hitherto unchartered territories of academic disciplines driving home the strong and sound message that equity is not by dilution of standards but by expansion of opportunities and positive disruption through digital public infrastructure, open learning resources, skilling and capacity building that futureproof higher education canvas against socio-econo-geographical pressures and parading Bharat’s most strategic human assets in pursuit of excellence and resilience to charter the nation’s destiny through a robust higher education ecosystem that shall not be built by administrative appendages but by pillars of crucible ideas, character and leadership studded with visionary ideals, concerned citizenry, innovative ideation, maximalist outcome based pedagogy, driving the productivity and efficiency of every stakeholder to forcefully dismantle the false dichotomy between excellence and inclusion, autonomy and accountability, heritage and progress, private and public, deemed university and university and a variety of other duel-dual terminological termites that have bitten the system too deep the scars of which shall soon begin to disappear to send a message that Bharat’s time has come through VBSA which is not an incremental reform with plug and play imported templates but a self-authored charter code that programs all forms of systems into a uniform yet diverse system of thinking accommodating diverse needs of all participants in a manner that is both individually satisfying and collectively purposeful to maximise learning outcomes which was a challenging task considering the diverse complexities that pushed back any creative polity and policy to meet its own cul-de-sac with VBSA now laying the road for multiple pathways and roadmaps offering different routes and destination points aligned with nation, institution and individual goals being the triple barrelled ammunition that fires the double engine growth towards a singular growth trajectory of developed nation status for Bharat, which is seeing the second coming of her first leadership position as the entire country unites to create a knowledge economy that spurs economic and social growth balancing the multiplying demands of the next generation through a learner-centric common denominator that cuts across all sections in a manner that is holistic, leaving no stones unturned in Bharat’s march towards becoming a global super power on the attainment of Viksit Bharat status by 2047 which will be an epoch for Chiranjeevi Bharat, an epitome of civilisational continuum unparalleled and unbeatable by any civilisation that came and went and will never come in the foreseeable future. By now you would have realised that this is my hat-trick single line article reserving it for the last and in doing so, my year-end one-line closer is dedicated to Pradhan’s lifeline starter. Happy New Year 2026.
