Educational Manifestation of Balasaheb Deoras' Nationalist Vision

Abstract

This paper examines the educational implications of Balasaheb Deoras' nationalist vision, highlighting its reflections in India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Deoras, a prominent leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), emphasized social inclusivity, cultural nationalism, national development, and grassroots social transformation. His ideas advocate for an education system fostering national pride, social responsibility, and holistic development. The study explores how these principles can shape socially conscious individuals committed to the nation's progress, aligning with NEP 2020's goals of inclusive and patriotic education. The relevance of Deoras' thoughts to modern education underscores their enduring impact on India's educational landscape.
