Sustained efforts needed to implement and adopt are NEP 2020: AICTE Chairman

Hyderabad, June 12 (UNI) All India Council for Technical Education Chairman T G Sitharam on Thursday called for sustained efforts to implement and adopt the New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, which were crucial to realise the fruits of the policy.
Addressing after inaugurating the two-day International conference on “Transformative Reforms in Higher Education – Best Practices in Implementation of NEP 2020”, Sitharam said “NEP’s vision is of a holistic, inclusive and technology-integrated education system. Its success can be measured by the impact it creates on students, especially first-generation learners, rural girl children, aspiring researchers, and aspiring entrepreneurs.”
Calling NEP 2020 a watershed reform and a vision document for India’s future, he described it as a long-overdue and much-needed change aimed at positioning India as a knowledge superpower and equipping the youth with proficiency and skills.
The policy replaces rote learning with experiential and conceptual learning, and it promotes multidisciplinary and flexible education.
Highlighting the achievements in the nearly five years since NEP’s implementation, he noted progress in linguistic inclusivity, digital equity, universal access to digital content, an improved research ecosystem, and enhanced accessibility.
Dr. Sitharam emphasised the need for collaboration over competition and encouraged students to make a mark globally while remaining rooted ro the Indian ethos.
He urged them to focus on skill development, stating that being proficient is as important as earning a degree.
He encouraged them to upskill for the new global landscape and work toward making Viksit Bharat 2047 a reality.
He elaborated on various initiatives under NEP like Ausandhan National Research Foundation for research funding, One nation One subscription giving accesss to e-journals, new R&D cells, Swayam + Platform for online courses, Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak scheme to digitize Indian language textbook for school and university students, Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities, Idea Labs for experiential learning, employability training through career portal, Dx-EDGE for digital transformation of MSMEs.’ UNI KNR SSP
