Context: (e.g., Dept. description, project or thematic description)
"Student learning" is the core purpose of a school's existence, with classrooms being the primary focus where 
most learning occurs. It's crucial to transform our classrooms into nurturing spaces that foster comprehensive 
student development. Despite the progressive changes proposed by NCF 2005 and RTE 2009 to create vibrant, 
hands-on, and experiential learning environments, there is still a lack of solid evidence that these changes have 
been fully implemented as intended. There is an inter connectedness with respect to 21st century skills and the 
age levels of students. Building 21st century skills can be started from the early age itself that is at the age of 3. 
In fact, Teachers play a pivotal role in this process, as they are the primary facilitators of the learning 
environment. Creating an atmosphere that fosters the acquisition of these skills depends heavily on their ability 
to implement innovative teaching methods. Therefore, solutions aimed at developing 21st-century skills in 
students must centre around empowering teachers with the necessary tools, training, and support. By focusing 
on teachers as key changemakers, can ensure that classrooms become dynamic spaces where students can 
thrive and develop the competencies needed for their future success under lenses of NEP 2020.

focus on Critical Thinking, Creativity & Innovation, Collaboration, Communication which lays the groundwork for

skills, work habits, and character traits that are believed— by educators, school reformers, teachers and
