Kolkata, 19th August. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan described the National Education Policy (NEP) as a knowledge document that aims to make education accessible to all.

“The NEP 2020 is the future of India’s education from primary to higher education levels. It aims at promoting all-round development of an individual. It aims to make education accessible to everyone,” Pradhan said.
According to him, India has become the epicentre of a knowledge-based economy.
“India’s academic fraternities have a big role to play in ensuring a rightful place for India to become a global leader. The National Education Policy 2020 is a path towards it,” the Education Minister said.
