At GHPS Hebballa, a government school near Nagarahole National Park, a class of sixth-graders was asked to paint what an elephant’s home might look like. One boy, Laxmikant, sat with his blank page a little longer. He then painted forests, water sources, open spaces, the things an elephant would need.
As he worked, he talked about the elephants he already knew: the ones that wandered into his village, damaged crops, and left people afraid. To him, elephants had always been something that showed up in human spaces uninvited.
Future readiness cannot mean only numeracy and digital fluency. It must also mean understanding the living world, especially for the 12 crore children in government schools, many in places where human–wildlife contact is a daily reality.
