Many attempts have been made in the past 70 years to frame a New Education Policy, but it could not be freed from Macauley’s education Policy.

 “With a great emphasis on skill development, entrepreneurship, internships, community work, life skills and critical thinking, NEP is primarily focused on producing quality human resource with modern outlook and firm faith in Indian cultural and moral values. NEP has soul of Indian culture and tradition,” added Manohar Lal.
