New Delhi: Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi inaugurated the CBSE Experience Centre at the CBSE Integrated Complex in Dwarka on October 27, aiming to promote experiential learning and prepare students for future careers.
The centre moves beyond textbook-based education, offering interactive exhibits that explore India’s educational heritage, emerging technologies, scientific concepts and evolving career opportunities.
Joshi stressed the need to move away from rote learning and excessive emphasis on examination scores, urging an education system that recognises students’ individual interests, abilities and learning capacities. He said fostering curiosity, creativity and confidence was essential to achieving the vision of a developed India by 2047.
Highlighting the National Education Policy 2020, the minister said hands-on learning encourages independent thinking and problem-solving. He also noted that 10,000 Atal Tinkering Labs were operational nationwide, with 50,000 additional labs planned.
Spread across 6,000 square feet, the centre houses 12 zones and 21 exhibits. RFID-enabled smart cards allow visitors to interact with displays and access personalised takeaways.
Key attractions include career exploration tools, holographic interactions with Dr BR Ambedkar and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, an Exam Warriors kiosk and the immersive Eduverse experience.
