National Education Policy to be implemented by 2022 in phased manner: Yogi Adityanath

The policy is the vision of the prime minister and is to be implemented by 2022. It includes both the theoretical and practical aspect of knowledge that is necessary for students.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 will be implemented in phases by 2022. While addressing a gathering at the Lucknow University after inaugurating its centenary celebrations, he said the NEP 2020 is the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and it will take the society forward and prove to be the foundation of "Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat" and a self-reliant India.
"The policy is the vision of the prime minister and is to be implemented by 2022. It includes both the theoretical and practical aspect of knowledge that is necessary for students. If the Lucknow University moves ahead with the new National Education Policy, it will set a new paradigm," Mr Adityanath said.

While congratulating everyone associated with the varsity on the completion of 100 years of its establishment, he said, during this glorious journey, Lucknow University has made remarkable achievements in the academic field at national and international levels. "This university has given many distinguished dignitaries, politicians, administrative officers, principals, scientists and industrialists, including the president, to the country," the chief minister said.

He said society can become self-sufficient and self-reliant only when it moves ahead of the government.

He said if educational institutions are integrated with the "one district, one product" programme, then work will be available to everyone. Mr Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh has the capacity to fulfil the dream of a self-reliant India and make the country a USD 5 trillion economy.

"For this, educational institutions will have to be connected with the public and have to be vocal for local. Apart from creating a link with the 'one district, one product' scheme, youngsters will have to be made aware of the policies of the government," he added.
