National Education Policy: A vision of transformed society from skill enhancement, character building to global citizenship

Education serves as the bedrock for the holistic development of an individual, laying the foundation for the quality of human life.

- PROF. RAMA SHANKER DUBEY

Its role in shaping a civilized and cultured society is paramount. Education must offer a comprehensive and integrated approach from the very beginning of life. In its true sense, holistic education examines all facets of human existence. It is designed to nurture physical and mental well-being, foster moral values, build character, cultivate patriotism, enhance knowledge, and promote the development of a skilled personality.

All this, while striking a balance between spiritualism and materialism, with the goal being the welfare of humanity.

The core objective of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is to create citizens who are firmly grounded in Indian values yet possess a global outlook. The policy reflects the richness and significance of India's cultural heritage and traditions. By championing a value-based education system, the NEP 2020 aims to cultivate citizens who possess truthfulness, religious conduct, peace, love, non-violence, a scientific mindset, and a commitment to universal human values. There is no doubt that the NEP 2020 will not only enrich students with multidisciplinary and multi-dimensional knowledge but will also equip them with the character to engage with global challenges while remaining deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of India. These youth will not only address contemporary global issues but will also carry the torch for the revival of India's cultural renaissance on the global stage.
