Curtain-Raiser in Greater Noida Sets Agenda for Bharat Shiksha Expo 2026

At a curtain-raiser held in Greater Noida, the Bharat Shiksha Expo 2026 and Vishwa Guru Sammelan were positioned as platforms to frame India’s evolving education priorities. Organised as a prelude to the main event, the gathering brought together policymakers, academic leaders, edtech representatives and institutional heads to outline themes that will dominate national education discourse in the coming year.

Speakers emphasised alignment with the National Education Policy, focusing on access, quality and global competitiveness. Discussions highlighted school education reform, higher education internationalisation, skilling, digital learning and India’s ambition to emerge as a ‘Vishwa Guru’ in knowledge production rather than merely a consumer of global educational models.

The organisers framed the Expo as a convergence point for government, academia and industry, where policy intent meets implementation. Universities, boards and education service providers are expected to use the platform to showcase innovations, partnerships and future-ready curricula shaped by technology and employability needs. Ultimately, the significance of the Bharat Shiksha Expo 2026 will lie in its ability to convert dialogue into sustained reform through consistent follow-through, public investment and inclusive participation. The curtain-raiser underscored how education is being positioned not only as a policy priority but also as a central pillar of India’s national development narrative and global soft-power ambitions.
