National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) Director S.C. Sharma on Tuesday said the National Education Policy (NEP) is the country’s pride since it promotes better accessibility and greater quality of education. The NEP, driven by modern science and technology, has revived knowledge traditions. The social impact of the NEP is that it has the ability to sustain democratic values and promotes the spirit of nationhood amongst the students.
In his address at the 102 nd annual convocation of University of Mysore at the iconic Crawford Hall here, Mr. Sharma said the uniqueness of the NEP is its commitment to conserving empathy, pluralism, equality and fraternity among the citizens which are the constitutional values. “It is the cultural fabric that knits us strongly since art, literature, music and cuisine are the outcome of our culture.”
