Here are all the new initiatives launched under Shikshak Parv 2021, which will result in accessible education for all.
Teachers have had one of the toughest jobs to cope with during the COVID pandemic, as all academic activities shifted to online platforms. To commend the hard work put in by the teachers during this period, the Shikshak Parv 2021 conclave was organized.
Students, parents, and teachers from different parts of the country converge for a virtual conclave and discuss the key amendments in the country's school education policy on Shikshak Parv. This year, the conclave was conducted virtually through video conferencing.
The virtual conference was attended by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of State for Education Jitin Prasad, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who launched several new initiatives to make learning accessible to all during the pandemic.
During the Shikshak Parv 2021, PM Modi also talked about the achievements and contributions of teachers, who made learning during the pandemic possible for children across the country.

While addressing the Shikshak Parv 2021, PM Modi said, “Teachers have rightly tackled all the challenges amid the coronavirus pandemic through online classes, group video calls, and online exams. These concepts were not known to anyone earlier, but the stakeholders of the education system made them a part of the regular learning process.”
