The incorporation of design thinking principles into Indian education presents an innovative approach to modernize and enrich learning experiences. Design thinking, known for its iterative and human-centered approach, has the potential to address shortcomings in traditional educational practices in India. This study delves into the integration of design thinking into the development of curricula, Teacher training, and improvement of school infrastructure. This integration offers various advantages, including the promotion of creativity, enhancement of problem-solving abilities, increased student engagement, and the cultivation of essential 21st-century skills. Nonetheless, there are challenges to be surmounted, such as resistance to change, limitations in resources, and complexities in assessment. To overcome these obstacles, the study suggests strategic solutions, including comprehensive training initiatives, mentorship programs, collaborative learning communities, resource accessibility, the cultivation of supportive school environments, and integration into teacher education programs. This research paper provides a practical guide for educational policymakers, administrators, and educators to leverage the potential of design thinking in revolutionizing the Indian education system. By implementing these recommendations, educators can effectively nurture an environment of innovation and critical thinking among students, equipping them to meet the multifaceted demands of the 21st century. Through the exploration of existing studies and the proposal of a theoretical framework, this paper seeks to offer feasible insights and tangible steps for the integration of design thinking into the Indian education system. In conclusion, the adoption of design thinking in Indian educational institutions stands to significantly enhance educational outcomes, despite the prospective challenges inherent in its implementation.
