New Delhi, Aug 10 (UNI) The New Education Policy (NEP) is the most planned comprehensive and exhaustive document which aims at ensuring the overall development of the students to prepare them to compete with the global world while preserving their Bharat centric values, ethics, and culture, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said on Monday.
The Education Minister, who was taking part in a webinar titled 'AtmaNirbhar Madhya Pradesh – Health and Education' here, said "since education is a concurrent, the NEP only provides broad directions. The reforms proposed can only be implemented collaboratively by the Centre and the states.
At the time of crises, the education sector has taken the opportunity to plan several interventions, particularly in the area of adopting innovative curriculum and pedagogies, concentrating energies on the gap areas, being more inclusive and integrating technology at every stage, to usher in a new era of focussed investment in the human capital.
The Minister said on May 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Self Reliant India. He said "the state of the world today teaches us that a (AtmaNirbhar Bharat) "Self-reliant India" is the only path."
Dr Pokhriyal congratulated the Madhya Pradesh government for swiftly responding to the current Covid crisis by introducing a series of interventions across all sectors. During the current lockdown in wake of Covid 19, the School Education Department of Madhya Pradesh has proactively taken upon the task of ensuring that children do not lose out on any opportunity to learn and to continue their academic progress by providing access to tech-enabled learning sources.
He assured Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan that central institutions will be supported to meet the target of self-reliant MP. Besides Mr Chouhan, Chief Secretary, Madhya Pradesh Iqbal Singh Bains and Additional Secretary (Health & Nutrition), Niti Aayog Rakesh Sarwal also took part in the AtmaNirbhar Madhya Pradesh – Health and Education webinar, an official release here said.
