The event commenced with a welcome address by the Director of SCERT, who also felicitated the resource person.

PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan is a large-scale assessment initiative aimed at evaluating the learning outcomes of students across the country. With a focus on competency-based questions, NAS 2024 will assess students' critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and application of knowledge. The survey will target students in grades 3, 6, and 9, with the results expected to guide future educational reforms nationwide.
