 This paper reflects upon Gandhi’s concept of Nai Talim and attempts to place it in its rightful philosophical context to underscore its vision and relevance for ‘sustainability’ education. It also investigates the concept-policy interface i.e., understanding whether Nai Talim has found any resonance with the education policy of the Indian state since independence.
