Chandigarh, January 8- Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 provides a clear roadmap to align India’s education system with the demands of the 21st century. However, the real success of any policy depends on its timely and effective implementation. Thus, to bridge the gap between policy intent and execution on the ground, the state government has developed the NEEV Portal, said Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, while interacting with mediapersons after an MoU exchange programme held in Panchkula on Thursday.
He described the NEEV Portal as an intelligent, data-driven decision support system that links policy formulation with institutional implementation. The portal enables objective, continuous and technology-enabled assessment of various provisions of NEP 2020.
The Chief Minister said that the primary objective of the NEEV Portal is to ensure transparent, impartial and sustained evaluation of NEP 2020 compliance in educational institutions. Through real-time data, performance indicators and predictive analytics, the portal continuously monitors the education ecosystem, clearly identifying institutions that are performing in line with the policy and those that require improvement, he said.
The Chief Minister said that the portal functions not only as a monitoring mechanism but also as an effective tool for timely corrective action and strategic guidance. He informed that in the first phase, the NEEV Portal is being implemented in universities and will subsequently be extended to colleges and, at a later stage, to schools and other educational institutions. This phased rollout will help ensure uniformity, improved quality standards and greater preparedness for NEP 2020 across the state.
Sh. Nayab Sinmgh Saini further said that the government’s vision is to develop a globally competitive education system by 2047. Through the NEEV Portal, digital tracking of 100 per cent compliance with NEP 2020 across universities, colleges and other educational institutions will be made possible by 2047.
Referring to the MoUs, the Chief Minister said that under the ‘Gyan Setu’ initiative, the Swarna Jayanti Haryana Institute for Fiscal Management has entered into partnerships with around 28 reputed academic institutions. The objective of these collaborations is to connect academic knowledge with real administrative and social challenges, ensuring that research outcomes contribute directly to governance and societal problem-solving, said Sh. Nayab Sinmgh Saini.
He shared that these collaborations will support the impact evaluation of key government schemes, capacity-building programmes, and enhanced internship and field engagement opportunities for students. This will strengthen the policymaking process while also providing young scholars with valuable exposure to real-world administrative functioning.
The Chief Minister said that the NEEV Portal and the ‘Gyan Setu’ initiative, taken together, will play a crucial role in making Haryana’s education system future-ready, inclusive and aligned with global standards. These initiatives will help ensure that education becomes a strong foundation for skills development, innovation, employment generation and overall social progress, said Sh. Nayab Singh Saini.
Remarks by former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Gurus are deeply unfortunate
Responding to a question on the remarks made by former Delhi Chief Minister Ms Atishi against the Gurus, the Chief Minister said that the Gurus sacrificed not just their lives but entire generations to uphold religion, humanity and the nation. He said that such a mindset towards the Gurus is deeply unfortunate. Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the teachings of the Gurus continue to inspire society and provide strength and direction to future generations.
Replying to another question, the Chief Minister said that during his tenure as Delhi Chief Minister, Sh Arvind Kejriwal prioritised the opening of liquor vends instead of strengthening the education system. He pointed out that separate liquor shops were opened for women, something that happened only in Delhi across the country.
Answering yet another question, the Chief Minister said that during the Congress regime, jobs were distributed arbitrarily. In contrast, the present government is providing employment purely on merit, without recommendations or monetary influence. He added that nearly two lakh jobs have been provided so far under this transparent system.
Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, Additional Chief Secretary, Education Department, Sh. Vineet Garg, OSD to Chief Minister and Director General, Haryana Institute for Fiscal Management, Dr. Raj Nehru, and Media Secretary to Chief Minister, Sh. Praveen Attrey were present on the occasion.
