The 1st edition of The New Indian Express ThinkEdu Conclave brings together policy makers, educationists, historians and scholars to discuss the state of Indian education. Furthering the cause of education and making it affordable and accessible to all, we believe, is the most effective way to propel India forward on the path of development. The focus of the 2013 event is 'Schooling India for Tomorrow'.
