Prestigious IDA Education Award 2022
Ashoka Universal School, Ashoka Marg, has been conferred with the prestigious ‘K-12 Empowering Learners for Global Citizenship’ award at the Indian Didactics Association (IDA) Education Awards 2022 ceremony. This awards night was held at DIDAC India 2022 Expo in Bengaluru recently.
It is the only school in Nashik that has received this award. A total of 24 awards were disbursed from among 2500+ nominations received by this association from across 25 states. Maharashtra schools, including Ashoka Universal School, won a total of 5 awards in several different categories.
The IDA Education Awards identifies and acknowledges those educational institutions that have transformed teaching, learning, and employability outcomes.
“This is a very prestigious honor for our school. Our mission statement talks about cultivating responsible global citizens, and our curriculum is designed around this ethos, among several others, including 21st-century skills. Our need-based, practically oriented process with a holistic approach empowers the learners for self-exploration, and this is what global citizenship is all about,” said Managing Trustee Aastha Katariya on occasion.
“We would like to honor and reward the institutions for re-discovering, re-defining, and re-imagining the teaching-learning process and preparing students for life. The awards recognize the outstanding contribution made by educational institutions pursuing new opportunities, engaging in continuous innovation, and exhibiting a high degree of accountability for quality education,” says a note on the IDA Education Awards website.

It was supported by the Union Ministry of Education, NITI Aayog, and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Education World Forum.
