Thursday, 21 December 2023 | PNS | Chandigarh

After inaugurating the Shiksha Kumbh at the NIT Kurukshetra, Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatraya on Wednesday said that the new education policy is a game-changer for startups in the State and urged the government to implement the NEP as soon as possible in the State.

In his address, the Governor said that the Shiksha Kumbh is a symbol of educational innovation, collaboration, and empowerment and will help to revitalise education and ensure its preservation in line with India's timeless cultural and philosophical values.

The Governor said that the most important objective of the Shiksha Kumbh is to create a conducive environment for the effective implementation of the new National Education Policy (NEP). He said that the NEP is a historic reform in the Indian education system. It envisions a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to education that focuses on the overall development of students.

Dattatreya further said that the NEP emphasises the importance of academic-driven startups in shaping the economy and promoting innovation. The Shiksha Kumbh meets the goals set by the NEP for innovation, entrepreneurship, and skill development.

The Governor highlighted the number of startups in India has increased from around 800 in 2014 to over 1.16 lakh under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the Vidya Bharti Sanskriti Shiksha Sansthan is implementing the education policy in line with Indian tradition and is making progress in promoting startups.
