'Therefore, this is not just a policy document, but also a reflection of aspirations of more than 130 crore Indians,' the Prime Minister said.
The 21st century is the era of knowledge, he added.

'This is the time to increase focus on Learning, Research and Innovation. This is exactly what the country's National Education Policy, 2020 does.
