Amid the pandemic uncertainty, we have completed one year of the announcement of NEP 2020, July 29. No policy announcement, since Independence, has attracted so much enthusiasm, curiosity and expectation as the one announced last year—an outcome of a massive consultative process, years of wait and against the backdrop of a nation’s resolve to be self-reliant. Skilling and reskilling the nation, creating an immense human capital and restoring character building at the core of education constitute the soul of NEP 2020.
