NEP 2020 to Bring Transformational Reforms in the Education Sector
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 got approval from the cabinet on 29th July. The education policy replaced the 34 -year-old National Policy on Education framed in 1986. The NEP 2020 is directed towards bringing transformational reforms in school and higher education systems to make India a global knowledge superpower.
Under NEP 2020 several reforms have been highlighted ranging from multi-disciplinary courses with multiple entry and exits, discontinuation of M.Phil programmes, to fees fixation for higher education institutions.
During the convocation programme at IIT Guwahati, a total of 1,803 students coming Ph.D., postgraduate, and undergraduate courses have been awarded degrees.
At the event, Pokhriyal said “The IIT-Guwahati has played an important role in innovation during COVID-19 times. It invented many products. Even the campus is being used as COVID Care Centre, which is a contribution towards the fight against novel coronavirus,”.
