Their collective presence will ensure that the discussions address the grassroots realities and aspirations of every corner of the nation.

Through ‘Ideas on Education’, Zee News reaffirms its commitment to not just reporting change but actively driving it. The event will act as a forum where ideas are transformed into actionable strategies, aiming to align educational reforms with India’s broader development goals. By fostering a space for progressive dialogue, Zee News hopes to ignite a movement that influences educational policy-making for years to come.
