Importance of Nurturing Giftedness
Giftedness, as defined by psychologist Joseph Renzulli, combines above-average ability, creativity, and task commitment. Despite a common myth, gifted students often face unique academic and emotional challenges that require specialised support. Investing in gifted education—evident in India's IIT system, where alumni drive innovation and leadership—has far-reaching economic benefits. Early identification and nurturing of the top 1–2% of talent is not just equitable but crucial for sustained national progress.
