Terming the National Education Policy (NEP) a “game changer” in taking forward the country towards a developed nation, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday (June 17, 2025) appealed to State governments that have not implemented the policy to rethink considering the role the policy would play in moulding the future of student community.
Addressing the students and faculty of Pondicherry University before winding up his two-day visit to Puducherry, the Vice-President said the framing of the policy will be considered a watershed moment in the country’s academic journey.
Government sent the right message to world through Operation Sindoor, says Vice-President
“It is one of the best education policies in the world. It lays emphasis on mother tongue. The policy calls upon universities to foster multi-disciplinarity, critical thinking, skill development and innovation. NEP allows our youth to fully exploit their talent and energy,” he felt.
According to him, the new framework for education would play an important role in making the country a developed nation in 2047 as envisaged by the Prime Minister. As we march towards becoming a developed nation, the country should be able to create institutes of excellence rivalling the best globally. Industries and corporate entities should consider investing in the country’s educational eco-system.
