Nai Talim is being revisited by the educationists particularly science educators to seek out a solution for sustainable development. It has an inbuilt strategy of craft based pedagogy which can be employed as a prelude for science teaching and learning to foster required knowledge, skills and values in the students to become aware and sensitive towards the problems related to sustainability of life. Craft based pedagogy enables them to prepare models and charts made up of waste materials or natural resources utilizing indigenous knowledge of various occupations including agriculture, gardening, spinning, metal work, wood work etc. as well as indigenous strategies of wild life conservation for learning various science concepts. They get directly or indirectly engaged in protection of the environment, promotion of the indigenous occupations encouraging sustained economic growth and maintenance of harmony in their physical and social life. Thus, they develop as responsible citizens having awareness and sensitivity towards natural resources, indigenous culture and knowledge, waste management and wild life. This paper illustrates craft based pedagogy as an essential part of Nai Talim and explicates its features and phenomena in science teaching and learning. It draws attention to the ways the students can be engaged in the activities for sustainable development through craft based pedagogy for learning science concepts.
