STEM Education: Equipping India’s Next Generation for a Future-Ready Workforce

India’s education sector is witnessing a great shift as schools across the country embrace STEM education, an interdisciplinary model combining Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to gear young learners for a technology-driven, innovation-led future. Through this model, students are encouraged to connect classroom theories with real-world applications, explore solutions and think critically.

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/33246_Chetanya_Sahu.JPG

Chetanya Sahu, CEO, ABL Education & Author of the Book “Future Ready School”


From Tier-1 city classrooms to schools in smaller towns, STEM education is reshaping the way children engage with knowledge. By encouraging hands-on experience, problem-solving, and critical thinking, this approach goes beyond rote memorization to connect classroom theories with real-world applications.


Building Skills for the Future
Educators argue that STEM is not about teaching isolated subjects but creating an integrated learning ecosystem that mirrors real-world scenarios where knowledge from multiple fields is applied simultaneously. “STEM builds logical reasoning and adaptability, preparing students not only for traditional careers but also for entrepreneurial journeys,” say education experts.


Beyond academic excellence, STEM fosters creativity, teamwork, communication skills, and socio-emotional learning, competencies vital in an era dominated by Artificial Intelligence.


Overcoming Challenges
Despite its promise, STEM adoption in India faces multiple roadblocks. The absence of a national framework often leaves schools experimenting independently, while the integrated nature of learning means results may take time to reflect. Additionally, without proper structuring, implementation can become costly.


The Importance of Early Exposure
Research indicates that early childhood is the most critical phase for cognitive development. Introducing STEM at this stage nurtures sharpens problem-solving skills, and builds confidence through experiential learning. Such early interventions equip students for emerging industries, where 70% of jobs by 2035 are expected to demand STEM-based skills.


Kr8ivity League: A Festival of Creativity
Accelerating this movement is the Kr8ivity League, a national-level competition that challenges students to showcase their skills in Coding, Robotics, and Entrepreneurship. Regional rounds take place across multiple cities, with winners advancing to the finale at IIT Delhi.


Described by organizers as a “festival of creativity,” the event attracts thousands of students from progressive schools nationwide. The 2025 edition is now open for registrations, inviting schools, students, and parents to participate. For more details, visit www.KreativityLeague.com.


Looking Ahead
With India’s ambition to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, equipping its youth with future-ready skills is both an opportunity and a responsibility. By adopting STEM education at scale and fostering platforms like the Kr8ivity League, India can cultivate a generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders who will power the nation’s growth story.

Aurigo Primus Plan and Autodesk Construction Cloud

Project teams can now integrate Projects, Budgets, Commitments, Change Orders, and Expenses between Autodesk Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan for planned vs. actual performance updates.

Recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that construction across multiple sectors of the economy is on the rise, including data centers, manufacturing, and healthcare.

By moving the management of capital programs upstream, risks can be identified early, and returns on investments can be calculated more easily.

“With the integration, we are creating a single, connected loop for capital assets, starting in planning and moving to design, construction, and maintenance,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and Founder of Aurigo Software. “By connecting Aurigo’s capital planning expertise to the breadth of execution offered by Autodesk Construction Cloud, every investment decision carries through to delivery, allowing owner-operators to make the right decisions faster.”

Today, Aurigo manages more than $450 billion in capital programs across 40,000 projects, making it an ideal planning solution for North America’s largest capital owners. Building on this expertise, the company introduced Aurigo Primus, the industry’s first AI-powered capital planning system purpose-built for facility owners.

With Primus, users can define project charters, model funding scenarios, and forecast outcomes. The platform goes beyond traditional approaches to include predictive analytics and generative modeling to enable smarter portfolio optimization, risk assessment, and cost control. When paired with Autodesk Construction Cloud, owners can publish approved projects and budgets into downstream workflows, while instantly synchronizing commitments and actuals from the field to understand their portfolio performance in real time.

Autodesk and Aurigo share a commitment to helping owners deliver smarter, more sustainable assets,” said Sidharth Haksar, Vice President, construction strategy & industry partnerships at Autodesk. “By integrating Aurigo’s capital planning platform with Autodesk Construction Cloud, we are connecting the why, what, and how of every program, helping our customers deliver with greater accountability and transparency at every stage of the lifecycle.”
