The occasion also reaffirmed the government's commitment to implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 across all states.

Pradhan emphasised the NEP's focus on regional languages in early education. "Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, we have decided that in all the states of India--in the foundational and preparatory stages, in Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), and in the NIPUN Bharat Mission--education must be provided in the children's mother tongue in the initial years," he said.
