As India strides towards its Viksit Bharat mission, with education as a cornerstone, Agarwal’s work aligns seamlessly with the transformative National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, championing the cause of ‘education for all.’

A Global Perspective on Education

Agarwal, an alumnus of the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School, brings a global outlook to his philanthropic and educational endeavors. His involvement in shaping educational policies extends beyond national boundaries, aiming to elevate the quality of education across all societal strata. For Agarwal, education is not a privilege reserved for the affluent but a fundamental right that should be accessible to all.

This vision found resonance on the world stage during India’s G20 Presidency in 2023. The Educational Ministerial meeting saw a convergence of minds, with ministers and delegates from G20 and guest countries underlining the transformative power of education in realizing the Presidency’s theme: ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future.’

Fostering Innovation and Research The global recognition of India’s strides in education and research was evident in the WIPO’s Global Innovation Index 2022. The Indian government’s focus on driving qualitative research has strengthened the country’s position in global innovation rankings. A testament to this commitment is the launch of the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, with an impressive allocation of `50,000 crore, set to catalyze advancements in knowledge and technology.
