The clock struck 11 a.m. as Dr. Shyam Sundar, the head of NCERT, entered the Prime Minister's office.
He carried a thick folder.
The past months had seen unprecedented reforms in Indian education under Prime Minister Rohan's leadership, but today's meeting was about charting the next phase: quality.
Rohan stood by the window, looking out at the bustling lawns of South Block.
As Dr. Sundar entered, he turned with a smile.
"Dr. Sundar, thank you for coming. Please, take a seat," Rohan said, gesturing toward the chair in front of his desk.
"It's an honor, Prime Minister," Dr. Sundar replied, settling into his chair. "I understand you have some specific directions for us to take Indian education forward?"
