“National Education Day reminds us that education must go beyond access to classrooms and focus on building informed, capable and empowered citizens. As envisioned by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, education is central to developing not just knowledge but also awareness, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of society and civic responsibilities.
We are entering an era of wholesome learning, where print, digital platforms and emerging technologies such as AI must complement each other to make education more engaging, personalised and accessible. At S Chand, we believe in combining the strengths of traditional textbooks with digital resources, including initiatives that make textbook content freely available on digital platforms. Learning today is no longer limited to textbooks. Interactive and technology enabled tools such as SmartK and New Mylestone are creating more engaging, experiential and personalised learning experiences for students. We believe the future lies in bringing together the depth and structure of print with the possibilities of digital learning, ensuring that students have access to diverse, affordable and effective learning resources that support their overall development.”
