Abstract:

The vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 identifies higher education institutions as key agents of national transformation. This quantitative study investigates the relationships between curriculum innovation, interdisciplinary learning, employability readiness, and innovation skills among B.Ed and M.Ed students. Survey data collected from 80 participants demonstrated strong internal reliability. All variables exhibited moderate to high scores. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that increased curriculum innovation and interdisciplinary learning significantly correlate with enhanced employability readiness and improved innovation and problem-solving skills. All null hypotheses were rejected. These results emphasize the interconnectedness of curriculum design, integrated learning experiences, and competency development, thereby supporting educational reforms consistent with the National Education Policy (2020) and the objectives of Viksit Bharat 2047.
