F) Capacity Building for Design and Entrepreneurship

National Education Policy 2020 aims at transforming the education system in the country. It
also places a strong emphasis on fostering a culture of innovation; promote an entrepreneurial
spirit and provide a conducive environment for students to develop innovative solutions to
real-world problems within the education system.

Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that encourages creative and innovative
solutions to complex challenges. It focuses on understanding the needs and perspectives of
end-users and applying a user-centric, empathetic, and iterative approach to arrive at effective

solutions. In the context of education, design thinking encourages educators to create learner-
centered curricula, teaching methods, and assessments that cater to individual needs and foster
critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

Accordingly, a capacity building Programme for faculty and HEIs is being started on Design
and Entrepreneurship under the aegis of Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme

entrepreneurship development.
