Maharashtra CM Fadnavis meets Amit Shah, Union ministers; effort to fast-track mega projects in Maharashtra
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Health Minister J P Nadda among others in New Delhi. Later the state government said the meetings were aimed at securing Centre's approval and assistance for development-oriented projects in Maharashtra. An official statement issued by the CMO described the meetings as a courtesy call. 'The CM had a meeting with Amit Shah at his office in Parliament House in Delhi where issues and projects related to development were discussed in detail,' the statement said. The Centre's three-language policy under NEP came under criticism forcing the CM to announce its revocation in the state on June 29. The state government also announced the constitution of an expert committee headed by Dr Narendra Jadhav to look into the issue afresh. According to the CMO: 'Fadnavis, during his meeting with Nirmala Sitharaman, raised mega projects in Maharashtra which are being undertaken with the help of World Bank for which Centre's permission was necessary.' Fadnavis said: 'We had an extensive discussion on externally aided projects in Maharashtra. The Finance Minister appreciated the fiscally prudent management of Maharashtra's finances and directed the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) to approve the multi-year pipeline for the following projects.' The three projects where financial assistance was sought include a) Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak Yojana: $1 billion from Asian Development Bank to connect villages with 1000+ population with core road network of the state, thereby strengthening last-mile connectivity b) Maharashtra-Strengthening Coastal Resilience and the Economy Project (M-SHORE): $500 million from World Bank to mitigate sea-level rise along the coastline using nature-based solutions, and c) Maharashtra Urban WSS & Reuse Programme: $500 million from World Bank to treat 100% of municipal wastewater and reuse it for industrial purposes. At a meeting with J P Nadda, the CM mooted a big fertilizer project in Vidarbha region. In Nagpur district, GAIL, the fertiliser department and the Maharashtra government are jointly planning to set up a 12.7 lakh tonne project worth Rs 10,000 crore. For this, the state has sought subsidy from the Centre. Nadda asked department officers to prepare a proposal for cabinet approval. Fertilizer department secretary Rajatkumar Mishra was present at the meeting. The state government has presented a proposal to Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for rural network connectivity stretching 14,000km roads. The project, estimated at Rs 22,490 crore, will be undertaken with assistance from ADB. This project will be taken up on 25 years maintenance-free model. 'This will be a very important project for rural Maharashtra and farmers as it will enhance rural connectivity, ' Chauhan said. Fadnavis urged Chauhan to give support to expedite the project. Chauhan also lauded the state government for getting maximum 30 lakh houses under Centre's chief minister also held a meeting with Niti Aayog CEO B V R Subramaniam and member Rajiv Gaoba. Multiple projects like the use of artificial intelligence for NCD (non-communicable disease), bamboo cluster (both these projects are of $500 million), Marathwada Water Grid, Damanganga-Godavari water link and other water conservation projects (worth $1 trillion) were discussed at the meet. Linking ITIs with private industrial sector to ensure employment and catering to market demands was also discussed at the meeting.

NEP 2020, Five Years On: Curricular flexibility improves, but multiple entry-exit remains rigid
Five years after its approval by the Union Cabinet in July 2020, the National Education Policy (NEP) — envisioned to transform India into a 'global knowledge superpower' — has led to notable systemic reforms. These include greater curriculum flexibility, the integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into classrooms, and the establishment of new institutions. However, despite this progress, several structural challenges remain. According to the first 'QS I-GAUGE Implementation Report' by Quacquarelli Symonds, only 36% of higher education institutions (HEIs) have implemented multiple entry and exit points. The report, based on data from 165 higher education institutions (HEIs) across 24 states and union territories, assesses the policy's progress across key areas. The most visible impact of the NEP has been the shift away from rigid disciplinary boundaries. Nearly 90% of surveyed institutions now report offering flexible, multidisciplinary curricula, often integrated with vocational components. Environmental education is nearly universal, and ethics-based courses such as Mulya Pravah 2.0 are now offered by 62% of institutions. The multiple entry and exit points — touted as a revolutionary student-centric reform — has failed to take root meaningfully. Just 36% of HEIs surveyed have implemented this provision, and only 64% maintain records in the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), the mechanism required for credit portability. The NEP placed significant emphasis on improving student well-being. Nearly 86% of institutions report having a dedicated student services centre to address emotional and psychological needs. However, more specialised mental health support, especially in collaboration with national institutes such as NIMHANS or AIIMS, is rare. Only 14% of the surveyed HEIs have formal partnerships with such institutions, the report found. This shortfall is further reflected in faculty preparedness: while the NEP encourages teacher training in counselling and mentoring, only 64% of HEIs reported that their faculty undergo refresher courses on mental health support. A lack of formal training could limit the efficacy of mental wellness services already in place. A major NEP goal was to bring industry closer to academia by appointing 'Professors of Practice' (PoPs) to teach applied, experience-based courses. However, this vision remains far from realised. While many HEIs support the idea in principle, only 14% of institutions have actually appointed such professors. Likewise, only 19% of HEIs involve industry experts in curriculum design, even though this is key to keeping academic content aligned with market demands. Internships have become more widespread, 98% of institutions offer them with academic credit but deeper, sustained industry engagement through curriculum and faculty collaboration remains largely limited. According to the QS report, just 22% of institutions currently enjoy autonomous status. What are the barriers? Nothing out of the blue: 153 institutions cite financial dependence as a key issue, 143 mention bureaucratic delays, and 131 point to limited institutional capacity. But does institutional autonomy really matter? Short answer, yes. It restricts the ability of HEIs to redesign curricula, establish interdisciplinary departments, or forge international partnerships, all crucial to the NEP's vision of 'globally competitive' Indian universities. Global collaboration has not kept pace with NEP's ambitions. Fewer than half the institutions surveyed (41%) have signed MoUs with foreign universities. Just 33% reserve seats for international students, and only 39% report having dedicated infrastructure to host them. Cross-border research collaboration is also underwhelming, with only 45% of faculty reportedly engaging with international peers on joint research or teaching. In effect, while the aspiration for global engagement is widespread, the ecosystem to support it, infrastructure, regulatory ease, and funding, remains weak. The NEP's emphasis on Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) has led to the introduction of electives in areas like Ayurveda, Yoga, Sanskrit, and ancient sciences. But progress here is slow and inconsistent, the report has revealed. Only 38% of institutions offer IKS electives for credit, and just 36% run short-term non-degree courses in these domains. Notably, a mere 8% of HEIs have empanelled 'Kala Gurus', traditional scholars meant to teach and research indigenous knowledge. The report notes that while IKS enjoys rhetorical support, its practical implementation is often limited by a lack of teaching staff, infrastructure, or institutional clarity on integrating traditional and modern epistemologies. NEP envisioned universities pooling resources and forming large knowledge clusters to promote research and innovation. Yet, 61% of institutions surveyed said they are not part of any such cluster. The barriers cited include infrastructural limitations (138 institutions), financial constraints (140), and cultural or administrative differences (123). Moreover, only 64% of institutions reported collaboration with regional R&D partners, pointing to the early stages of a research ecosystem that NEP aims to build. One of NEP's strongest adoption areas has been digital learning. According to the report, 96% of institutions use platforms like SWAYAM, DIKSHA, or SWAYAM PRABHA. Additionally, 94% report investment in digital infrastructure, and 85% offer faculty training in creating high-quality online content. Yet, equitable access remains a challenge. Only 28% of institutions offer two-year postgraduate diplomas via open and distance learning, an option that could democratise access in underserved regions. And while MOOCs are accepted for credit in 72% of institutions, standardised assessment and integration into degree programs are still evolving. The NEP has succeeded in reshaping perceptions around higher education in India. Over the last five years, several new public institutions including the Indian Institute of Heritage and multiple Central Tribal Universities have been launched. Funding models are being reconsidered, and digital learning is seeing greater traction than before. Yet, as the QS I-GAUGE report shows, India's higher education reform remains a work in progress. The policy vision is in place, but its realisation depends on operational support, targeted funding, and regulatory simplification. Without addressing foundational issues like faculty shortages and financial dependency, even the best policy ideas risk being stuck in an implementation limbo.

Four-year undergraduate course in Delhi University has many challenges: Lack of faculty members is just one of them
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 came up with many promises for India's education system. As an educator, I was looking forward to certain systematic changes. I also gained first-hand experience of how the policy would be implemented in one of India's premier public universities: The University of Delhi (DU). While working in an undergraduate college affiliated with DU, I was also involved in aspects of the NEP 2020, such as curriculum design. Revision of the curriculum was necessary as the NEP 2020 mandated a shift from a three-year to a four-year undergraduate (UG) degree programme. However, the process of revising the syllabus crushed any hope of the needed reform. Teachers had very little time and had to juggle between teaching, evaluation, invigilation and administrative duties along with the syllabus revision work. It resulted in long online meetings after 7 pm. Many courses were simply rehashed instead. Teachers were also expected to introduce several new courses. Syllabus designing is a mammoth task and requires proper time and critical thinking. However, none of it was possible on such short notice. Nonetheless, the first batch of students under the NEP 2020 in DU was enrolled in 2022. Teaching had its own challenges. While the number of credits and classes were reduced for a particular course, the syllabus remained vast. The timetable also didn't allow us to schedule extra classes. The timetable is packed as students now not only have Discipline Specific Courses (DSCs) and General Elective Courses (GECs), but also Value Added Courses (VACs) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SECs). Conducting classes for SECs also proved to be challenging as skill-based courses require specific faculty, training and infrastructure. For instance, SECs titled 'Harmonium', 'Digital Film Production' and 'E-Tourism', offered to first-semester UG students, would require dedicated faculty and resources. While the intent of the policy to build professional skills is commendable, there are implementational challenges. This first batch of students enrolled under the NEP 2020 will be entering the fourth year this July. The flexibility of exiting was seen as a key characteristic of the NEP 2020. Under the four-year programme, if a student exits at the end of the first year, they get a certificate. If it's an exit after two years, it's a diploma. Exiting after three years gets one an honours degree, and completing four years means an honours degree with a research specialisation. One of the reasons the NEP 2020 was appreciated was for its emphasis on research. However, as DU enters the fourth year of the new UG program, the university seems to lack the necessary infrastructure for providing a research-conducive environment at the UG level. The university has recently released (July 3) a notice clarifying its exit policy. Many DU colleges are old and do not have the classrooms and laboratories required to accommodate an extra batch of students. Colleges are also facing a human resource crunch — of faculty and administrative staff. DU has heavily relied on contractual faculty, popularly known as 'ad-hoc', to meet its workload requirements. However, in the recent past, permanent faculty have been hired, displacing many ad-hoc teachers. Even then, most colleges do not have the required number of teachers according to the student-teacher ratio. Given that each faculty may have to supervise up to 10 students, it is a huge burden. This is in addition to existing teaching and other duties. Producing quality research is not an easy task and requires a lot of time and engagement. The university expects undergraduate students and their mentors to produce publishable material without offering the necessary resources for it. The university has said that colleges can hire guest faculty to solve their resource crunch. But this cannot be a permanent solution. Writing a dissertation requires training and commitment of the highest order, and quality supervision. Guest faculty members have no job security, and as such, their positions can be terminated at any time. Some might also leave of their own volition if they find better opportunities elsewhere. Not having stable research guidance can be detrimental for students who choose to pursue a four-year undergraduate programme. This is especially true in the context of a system where such students will be expected to pursue a one-year MA programme. The university's expectation that research funds should be generated by the colleges is also unrealistic. Most colleges are short-strapped for funds, and corporate collaborations can be harmful to the interests of public education. Another issue that students are facing is concerning internships, which have been made mandatory. It is not easy to find internships, especially for certain disciplines like Philosophy or literature. This is particularly difficult in smaller cities and towns. Most firms and organisations are also reluctant to hire undergraduates as interns, as it means procuring an additional burden of training them. Even faculty at research institutes prefer postgraduate students as interns for research work. However, for some organisations, having a reserve army of interns means more human resources to exploit as free labour. The idea of experiential learning seems ideal on paper, but it needs serious rethought before it can be effectively implemented. We need to learn our lessons soon from the DU experience before the promises of the NEP 2020 fall apart. Such major policy changes need large-scale dialogue between stakeholders before execution.
