NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the new National Education Policy is futuristic and as per the global standards, aiming at empowering students to take part in national development in line with the vision of Dr S Radhakrishnan.
“India takes pride in being the mother of democracy as its values are embodied in our way of life,” the PM said addressing the Association of Indian Universities' 95th annual meet and a national seminar of vice-chancellors via video conference.
Modi said the NEP, unveiled last year, is “futuristic and as per global parameters”. He launched four books related to Babasaheb Ambedkar, authored by Kishor Makwana on the occasion.
On NEP, he said students’ capabilities pose questions like what they can do? What is their potential if they are properly taught? And what they want to do? He said the answer to the first one is the inner strength of students. If institutional strength is added to inner strength, they’ll be able to do what they want to do.
