Governor, Mr. Arya said that special provisions have been made for imparting education to socially downtrodden in the new National Education Policy. It will be a challenge for all of us to implement these provisions. To ensure this we need to harmonise with private institutions in a better manner, he added. By adopting the new Education Policy, if we are able to fetch equal opportunities for imparting education to poor people, then it will be a matter of pride for the country.
Emphasising equal education, the Governor further added that we have to bridge the gap of urban and rural education prevailing in the education system so that everyone will get equal opportunities. If education is evenly imparted in the country then there will be no disparities in the society and a new India will be created.
He said that stress has been laid on skill, employment, technical knowledge and specialisation in the new National Education Policy. If we have to meet these expectations then the universities and industries will have to collaborate and create diplomas, degrees, business courses so as to groom the youth in these disciplines. Our country is rich in folk arts and regional languages. Thus, research work on ancient folk arts should be done at Higher Education level, so that youth will be able to study them by adopting them as a career.
