Navtika, A Journal on Early Childhood Education
(A Publication of Salwan Education Trust)
Dear Educators and Early Childhood Professionals,
NAVTIKA invites original, insightful, and research-informed contributions for its upcoming edition.

This edition focuses on how classrooms, teachers, and learning environments can shape children into active thinkers rather than passive performers.
We welcome contributions from educators, school leaders, researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners who wish to share research, classroom innovations, reflective practices, and policy-to-practice insights aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-FS.
