National Education Day 2025: As India celebrates National Education Day 2025 to honour the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the nation pays tribute to a visionary leader who laid the foundation for modern education in independent India. Azad, India’s first Education Minister, championed universal primary education, women’s empowerment, and cultural learning. His belief that “education imparted by heart can bring revolution in society” continues to inspire generations. Today, as the education landscape evolves, the focus is shifting toward the next great revolution in learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI), which promises to make education more inclusive, personalised, and transformative. AI And The Future Of Learning AI-powered systems such as Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and Learning Management Systems (LMS) are helping students learn faster and more efficiently. Translation tools and adaptive platforms also make education more inclusive. However, experts caution that learners must verify AI-generated content for accuracy and bias. The human element — teachers’ guidance, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence — remains irreplaceable. Harshil Gala, CEO of Navneet Toptech, On How Artificial Intelligence Is Shaping The Future Of Learning Harshil Gala, CEO of Navneet Toptech, says AI is helping educators understand how students learn — their pace, strengths, and the kind of support they need. “Imagine a classroom where no child feels left behind, where learning adjusts to the learner, not the other way around,” says Harshil Gala, CEO of Navneet Toptech. “This is no longer a distant dream. With Artificial Intelligence, it is becoming our new reality.” AI is transforming how students learn — tracking individual progress, identifying strengths, and offering teachers deeper insights into their students’ needs. By automating repetitive tasks, AI allows educators to focus on what truly matters: nurturing curiosity, confidence, and character. “At Navneet Toptech, we believe that technology should enhance the human aspects of learning, not overshadow them,” adds Gala. “AI can personalise instruction, but only a teacher can inspire. AI can provide answers, but only a teacher can spark imagination.” As India marks National Education Day, Gala notes that education now stands at a pivotal inflection point — where technology and empathy must converge. “The future of learning will not be defined by technology alone, but by how we blend technology with empathy, purpose, and wisdom,” he says. This balance, he believes, will ensure that every learner — regardless of background — has the opportunity to succeed in a world shaped by intelligent tools, creativity, and human connection. National Education Day: History and Significance National Education Day is observed every year on November 11 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, an eminent freedom fighter, scholar, and India’s first Education Minister. During his tenure, Azad laid the foundation for India’s modern education system, focusing on universal primary education, women’s empowerment, and cultural advancement. To honour his contribution, the Ministry of Human Resource Development declared November 11 as National Education Day in 2008. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s Quotes “It is the birthright of every individual to receive at least the basic education without which he cannot fully discharge his duties as a citizen.” “No program of national education can be appropriate if it does not give full consideration to the education and advancement of women.” “Education imparted by heart can bring revolution in society.” Happy National Education Day Wishes Happy National Education Day!
