Prof. Aggarwal identifies the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 20) as a significant catalyst in reshaping the educational landscape. Crafted through extensive consultations and spearheaded by India’s Prime Minister, NEP 20 stands as one of the most comprehensive educational policies globally.
NEP 20 emphasizes quality education as a transformative tool aligning with the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 and the concept of ‘Amrit Kaal,’ signifying the intervening years for maximum impact.
The policy underscores key parameters such as quality, flexibility, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and a holistic approach to education. These parameters reflect the pressing need to adapt to an ever-changing educational landscape.
Prof. Aggarwal underscores the importance of fostering these attributes through both formal and informal educational avenues.
