The new National Education Policy (NEP) introduced in 2020 has empowered the youth of the country besides setting up new linkages with global institutions.
Several countries have approached India to establish IIT campuses in their respective countries, while global universities are expressing interest in setting up their satellite campuses within India. The need for a futuristic approach in education as technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) become integral to daily life cannot be overestimated. Other imperatives include reducing academic pressure on students and introducing subjects like disaster management, climate change, and clean energy in schools.
At the same time, NEP 2020 champions the cause of conducting studies predominantly in Indian languages, underscoring the utmost significance of language inclusivity in education.
Judging the youth based on their foreign language proficiency and not considering their innate talent perpetuates a gross injustice. Thus NEP 2020 promotes education in mother tongues, seeking to bring real justice to the youth.
