• J P Naik’s Role Based Learning (RBL) o Goal is to identify OWN Role & unique functions, o Become Change Maker. o Find Learning and Development / Career Pathso Tried and failed.
• Nai Talim was rejected as o Anti-modern, Of agrarian nature, and o Unsuitable for developing industrial society- the need of human
development in the age of 19-20th century.
• Third Industrial Revolution of 21st Century o Offers decentralized and autonomous energy and industry generation.
