The document discusses recent trends in the Indian education system compared to ancient practices. It notes that the ancient Gurukula system and Nalanda University used individual learning approaches focused on critical thinking and practical application. Recent trends emphasize self-learning, group study, internships, and earn-while-you-learn programs to develop employability skills through projects and case studies. However, challenges include low quality output, competition, college shutdowns, and student mental stress. The government is trying to address issues through programs like IGNOU, NPTEL, and ASAP. Suggestions include promoting practical, outside learning and overall student development.
