"NEP-led transformations taking place in India's education system and its pivotal role in transforming our young demography into future-ready, responsible global citizens. In the next two decades, India will be the growth engine of the global economy. Priority areas of NEP-- integration of technology in education, encouraging learning in Indian languages, fostering a culture of research & innovation and thrust on competencies & employability skills, places India well to reap its demographic dividend. NEP 2020 is going to have a global impact," he said
"Another focus of NEP is global standard research. Tie up with institutions, tie up with new areas, tie up with governments," Pradhan added.
Pradhan said that all youngsters must get the opportunity to pursue equitable education.
"We have to give opportunity to all our youngsters, equitable education, inclusive education, affordable education, and quality education. We are inviting foreign universities in India to open their campuses in India. Sizable Indian students are going overseas. For Speed, around a million youngsters are going to different parts of the world for higher studies," he said.
