DDUGU hosts nat'l meet to mark 5 years of NEP
Gorakhpur: Marking the fifth anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University (DDUGU), in collaboration with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), organised a one-day national workshop on 'NEP 2020: Resolutions, Efforts, and Challenges' at Shri Gorakhnath Research Centre on Sunday. The event brought together vice-chancellors of eight universities, directors of two research institutes, and around 200 delegates from across the country. The workshop, conducted in four sessions, aimed to clear doubts among students and teachers, address implementation challenges, and outline strategies for achieving the policy's objectives. In a significant outcome, Gorakhpur University signed MoUs with Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Maa Vindhyavasini University, and Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Divyang State University. Highlighting Gorakhpur's historical association with the policy, ABVP national president Prof Rajsharan Shahi said, "The 32-page dissent note by Mahant Digvijaynath on the then education policy draft laid the foundation of today's NEP — a policy rooted in the Indian mind and proud of its identity." DDUGU Vice-Chancellor Prof Poonam Tandon said Uttar Pradesh was the first state to adopt the NEP after 2020, despite Covid pandemic. "The positive outcomes are visible, and we will continue leading its implementation," she said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
