A seminar on National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 was organised at the Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) on Saturday. Adviser to the Prime Minister, Amit Khare was the Chief Guest of this event where he highlighted the importance of NEP.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion Khare said that this policy is very important towards building a knowledge based society which establishes a synergy between the global scenario and the Indian knowledge tradition.
The Adviser added its objective is to promote basic knowledge. “Great emphasis has been laid on education in Indian languages for this reason. This education policy will bring a comprehensive change in the Indian education system in future through a multidisciplinary education system, internationalisation of education, vocational and technology based education and research based knowledge,” he added.
Khare emphasised that with the advent of this policy, its implementation is of paramount importance. Many neighbouring countries are seeing India as a hub in the field of education. He said that the role of the Central University of Jharkhand is also important because other educational institutions of the state look at it as a mentor.
