Discussion on NCF SE 2023

The National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF SE) 2023 is a comprehensive framework developed by the Ministry of Education in India, based on the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. 

It aims to transform the education system with 

holistic, 

integrative, and 

rooted approaches 

to learning, pedagogy, and assessment.

Key Components of NCF SE 2023:

  1. Curricular Goals: Focuses on the development of the full range of human capacities, values, and dispositions.

  2. Curricular Areas: Includes foundational subjects like language, mathematics, science, social science, arts, physical education, and vocational education.

  3. Cross-Cutting Themes: Emphasizes values, inclusion, information and communication technology, guidance and counseling, environment, and rootedness in India.

  4. School Culture and Processes: Addresses school culture, processes, pupil-teacher ratio, enabling and empowering teachers, and the role of academic and administrative functionaries.

  5. Supportive Ecosystem: Ensures an appropriate environment for learning, including the role of teachers and the creation of a supportive ecosystem.

The framework is designed to cover the age group of 3 to 18 years and aims to move away from rote learning and content accumulation, focusing instead on holistic development and critical thinking.

Indian Air Force Heritage Museum, Chandigarh


The Indian Air Force Heritage Museum, located at Chandigarh is India's first air force heritage centre. Opened in May 2023, it showcases the role of Indian Air Force (IAF) in all the wars and is equipped with modern paraphernalia like virtual reality, augmented reality, hologram, simulators and electro mechanical enclosures.

The heritage center was inaugurated on 8 May 2023 by Indian Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and is built on an area of 15,600 square feet. Located in Sector 18, the Chandigarh Administration is in charge of running the IAF Heritage Centre.[4] It has five decommissioned aircraft on display, including a Hindustan Piston Trainer-32 primary flying trainer aircraft, a MiG-21 single-seat fighter and a Gnat aircraft (Sabre Slayer). Also, the Air Force Kanpur 1, built in 1958 by Air Vice Marshal Harjinder Singh, is present. The centre shows how the Indian Air Force participated in numerous conflicts, such as the Kargil conflicts in 1947, 1948, 1965, and 1971 and 2019 Balakot airstrike.

Additionally, the center houses flight simulators that let visitors experience flying. The SAM-III Pechora missiles are another main attraction. It also has a special section honouring female IAF officers for their contributions to national service. The center also has scale models of Prachand helicopterNetra aircraftMi-26, indigenous Tejas fighter jetsSukhoi SU-30 MKIMiG-29C-130J HerculesIL-78 MKI aerial refuellerAirbus C-295 and advanced light helicopter-Dhruv. With the aid of murals illustrating major military campaigns, including the IAF's involvement in the 1948 Indo-Pak War and electro-mechanical 3D-dioramas showing the most recent operations, such as the Balakot airstrike, the centre highlights the illustrious history of the IAF.
