Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday formally launched three new academic curricula, including NEEEV (New Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Development Scheme), Science of Living, and Rashtraneeti (National Policy).
Gupta stated that this initiative marks a revolutionary step in the field of education, designed not only to impart academic knowledge but also to empower students with life skills, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, and a sense of responsible citizenship.

The CM highlighted that the new courses are intended to instill a business mindset in children from an early age, introduce them to artificial intelligence (AI), and enable them to become competent and self-reliant.

She said that the launch is a key component of the ongoing service fortnight, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision.
Gupta said the goal is to shape students not merely as job-seekers, but as future job creators.
She further noted that through the Science of Living curriculum, children’s personalities would be refined in all aspects, while nurturing sensitivity and compassion towards society.
The CM further informed that the curricula have already been shared with the teaching community in the city.
The launch took place at a programme held at Bharat Mandapam, which was attended by Delhi’s Education Minister Ashish Sood, senior officials of the department concerned, and other distinguished guests.
The initiative has been developed by the Directorate of Education, which Gupta said aims to prepare students for the future by combining academic learning with essential life skills and civic responsibility.
She explained that these three curricula have been introduced across all government schools in Delhi for millions of students, with the broader aim of nation-building.
Gupta made it clear that the government would ensure no shortage of resources for schools, whether in terms of toilets, laboratories, playgrounds, or other facilities.
CM reiterated that her priority is not the construction of large buildings or flyovers, but the creation of better schools and the guarantee of quality education.
She urged teachers to carry forward this educational mission so that Delhi’s government schools set new benchmarks, produce capable citizens, and play their rightful role in nation-building.
She assured that government schools would in no way lag behind private institutions; rather, they would excel, nurture talented students, and build a stronger future.
Speaking on the occasion, Education Minister Sood shared that a 15-day Seva Pakhwada is being organised to mark the birthday of PM Modi, and he called upon teachers to actively support the effective implementation of these initiatives and to disseminate the message across the teaching community.
He stressed that every student is not just a learner but also a potential future PM, scientist, entrepreneur, judge, soldier, artist, teacher, or leader.
The strength of a nation, he stressed, does not lie in its buildings or military power, but in the character, values, and sense of responsibility of its citizens.
He emphasised that education must not be confined to academics alone, and children should also be taught about good touch and bad touch, the responsible use of mobile phones, and traffic rules, as well as civic sense, so that they can grow into responsible citizens contributing to both society and the nation.
