District-level school innovation initiative launched in Mysuru, ETEducation
Mysuru: MP Yaduveer said that Mysuru has the foundation, history, and leadership required to build an education ecosystem where every child, regardless of background, can grow, learn, and succeed—from cradle to career.
“The Shikshana Samvada is the first step toward shaping this collective vision. We need to move beyond isolated efforts and work together with a shared sense of responsibility,” he said.
Speaking after launching the Shikshana Nava Chetana Award, a district-level school innovation initiative aimed at recognising and encouraging low-cost, context-driven improvements in schools across Mysuru and Kodagu districts, launched by Shikshagraha. The award was unveiled at Shikshana Samvaada, a district-level education dialogue held in Mysuru, bringing together educators, school leaders, community stakeholders, and policymakers.
The initiative seeks to nurture a culture of continuous improvement by enabling schools and educators to identify focused areas of change and design practical solutions rooted in their local context. Participants will have opportunities to learn from one another through similar dialogues and spotlights (exhibitions, appreciation ceremonies) that celebrate on-the-ground practices and innovations. Submissions will remain open for 1 month.
Khushboo Awasthi, weaver, Shikshagraha, said the Shikshana Nava Chetana Award is grounded in a simple belief—that educators and schools already carry the wisdom to improve learning when they are trusted, recognised, and supported. “Through this initiative, we want to surface and celebrate small, low-cost innovations that are deeply rooted in local realities.”
