State Governor hails HP Central University in taking forward National Education Policy

Dharamshala, Oct 13 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar said on Wednesday that the National Education Policy (NEP) was focused on Indian thoughts, culture, history and values, in which we all have to contribute so that the nation can re-establish itself as the leader of the World.
The Governor was speaking as a Chief Guest in a seminar on Shiksha Ka Bhartiya Swaroop organised by the Central University of Himachal Pradesh at Dharamshala on Wednesday. He said that in the education field, we must know the exact path in which we have to move forward as Indian ideology and thought gave us a separate identity in the world. Giving examples of Kanya Pujan and 'International Girl Child Day', he said that this thinking took us more towards reality than formality. Mr. Arlekar said that today's education has not been able to connect us with our culture, tradition and land. Our present education system does not bring us forward to work on the farm, but only motivates us to ask for jobs. So, today we need to decide whether we want to be a job provider or a job seeker, he added.
Mr. Arlekar said will we be able to come out of Macaulay's slave education policy. Only, the new education policy can help us to solve the problem. The policy cares about the development of educational institutions and also has provision of our culture and language.
