It is a pragmatic policy to give priority to Indian arts and culture while increasing the power of the mind and respect for the native language and mother tongue. A time will come when people from all over the world will come in large numbers to study in Indian educational institutions.Indian educational institutions will be included among the best educational institutions in the world. The National Education Policy is a reflection of the aspirations of the citizens. This policy is also the foundation of future India. This policy should be studied seriously by all the people associated with the education sector. This will also give impetus to the implementation of the policy. Affordability, accessibility, quality, fairness, and accountability are the five key pillars of this policy.
Union Minister Shri Shah was addressing a seminar on the education policy of India on the birth centenary of Late KushabhauThackerayat the Mansarovar Assembly Hall of VidhanSabha today. Shri Shah described in detail the features of the New Education Policy in an ideological discourse of about one hour. He also appreciated the better implementation of this policy in Madhya Pradesh.
Union Home Minister Shri Shah said that Prime Minister Shri NarendraModi’snew education policy is designed to enhance the power of the mind of students and teachers through analysis, reasoning, memory, decision-making ability, implementation, and nimansa. Any kind of education can make a person successful, but to make him a big person, it will be necessary to increase the power of the mind.If any nation becomes great, then it is made not only by the rivers and mountains of that nation but by its great people. Our new education policy fulfills the purpose of building a great personality. Referring to Swami Vivekananda, he said that Swamiji had said that education should be such, that which enables one to face the struggles of life. If this capability is not there in education then that education is meaningless.
We should get meaningful education to connect with our culture and make us imbued with qualities like benevolence. The new National Education Policy is such a seed, which will be able to give shade to the world by becoming a banyan tree. Education in policy is the Triveni of science and culture. If we bring the knowledge of the universe along with our culture, then education will be meaningful. If the ability of analysis and the courage of a lion is built up in the children, then who would not want to receive such an education? This was not the policy in the past.This policy has been prepared on the basis of basic education.
Union Minister Shri Shah said that this is the first such education policy, which is in accordance with the thoughts of the Indian people. The main objective of the policy is to awaken the basic source of knowledge and science in children. Earlier there was a rote curriculum in education. The policy which has been implemented now provides opportunities for children to be nurtured by unleashing the God-given powers contained within them.If we look at this policy from a different point of view, then it is a policy to increase employment, provide a platform for expression, and use of technology and develop possibilities for research. This policy of propounding the importance of mother tongue and Indian languages also serves to end the conspiracy of the British, in which they tried to create an inferiority complex among Indians on the basis of language. While Indian talents invented zero, we have also touched on the dimensions of science. They worked on the path of progress by going ahead of the thinking of languages.
Union Minister Shri Shah said that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shri Chouhan deserves congratulations for the decision to make medical and other technical courses available in Hindi. Mother tongues and regional languages have gained importance after 75 years of independence. Surely we will produce capable citizens. By 2030, with emphasis on research and development, we will be on the path of progress and by 2040 we will be ahead of many nations.Shri Shah said that there will be a significant reduction in dropouts in the field of education by promoting technology and research. At present also the enrollment percentage has increased to 92 percent. If students drop out of school, most of them are unaware of the kind of life they will lead. It is the responsibility of the governments to maintain the interest of the students in the schools.He called for full cooperation by all the teachers and professors in this new education policy that touches every dimension of education. Union Minister Shri Shah said that various provisions made in the education policy at the primary level and at the secondary level have been mentioned. Referring to the features of the policy, he said that the National Education Policy 2020 is not just a book but a complete library.
