If we are not able to implement NEP properly, we will not get the results the nation wants, the Delhi University VC said.

Policies that compromise on country's growth should not be supported: DU VC

Policies that compromise on country's growth should not be supported: DU VC

Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh has said that the country may not get the desired results if the National Education Policy is not implemented properly. He further stressed that policies that compromise the country's growth should not be supported.

He further asserted that as the citizens of the country, one must not indulge in activities that weaken the nation. He was addressing a seminar organised by the Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences in partnership with an NGO named Shodh. The seminar was titled 'Viswa Guru Bharat: Exploring the Glorious Past, Promising Present and the Future Roadmap.' "The National Education Policy came in 2020 and it has good features. If we are not implementing it properly, we will not get the results the nation wants... Students, institutions -- we all have to find our roles and work towards its implementation," he said.

DU to implement NEP from 2022-23 academic session

Delhi University will implement the NEP in the 2022-23 academic session, a move that has been criticized by teachers. He emphasized the NEP must be seen from a larger perspective, but he also called on the teachers to work in nurturing students who strive to build nations.

"It shouldn't be about discipline, specific courses or the number of credits, workload of teachers... We were producing good engineers and doctors earlier also and we were giving degrees earlier also. But we need to work on strengthening our country," he said.

The vice-chancellor also talked about the country's growth rate and stressed that "policies that compromise on the country's growth should not be supported".

"We need a growth rate of 10 per cent in the next 10 years. I know that we will become a developed nation quickly and even before 2047. But the danger will be more as we will become a developed nation," he opined.

While emphasizing on the role of technology in strengthening the country's security, he said the country cannot compromise the security on its borders. "We have always had a technological bent. But we should need the best of technology. We should produce it here, but if we are not able to do it, we should collaborate and if we are not able to do that also, then we should buy it... Beg, Borrow or steal, we need technology," he said.
