He explained that these principles are critical for ensuring that every student has an equal opportunity to pursue higher education, regardless of their social or economic background. He also lauded the framers of the NEP 2020 for emphasizing multidisciplinary education, research, and innovation. According to him, all the contents are precisely prepared and arranged in a timeline manner to help India achieve its ambition as a global knowledge Super Power soon. Since implementing this highly practical education policy is a daunting task, he urged all that are involved in teachings at the higher level of education to try to do their level best in whatever field of studies they will be entrusted with after NEP 2020.
