Abstract India's journey towards becoming a 'Developed India @ 2047' traverses the path of quality, equitable, and accountable education. This objective can be realized in the current era by modernizing the education sector through the continuous and rapid global advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This is because the lack of high-standard laboratories and resources poses a significant impediment to the acquisition of practical knowledge in rural and semi-urban schools. Due to the high costs associated with the construction and maintenance of physical laboratories, not every student receives an equal opportunity to acquire practical knowledge, and obstacles also arise in the effective administration of school governance. The present research study is grounded in the objectives of the National Education Policy 2020 and existing technological capabilities; through logical analysis, it demonstrates how the principle of 'Maximum Governance, Minimum Government' can be implemented in educational administration by utilizing virtual laboratories to address the scarcity of physical laboratories and resources. The study reveals that virtual laboratories are not only cost-effective but also capable of bridging the urban-rural educational divide. This paper recommends, under the ambit of governance reforms, the establishment of a ‘Virtual Lab Resource Centers’ to mitigate the lack of practical knowledge and prepare citizens with a scientific temper for a ‘Developed India.’
