Doors of opportunity
The Vice-Chancellor said that the NEP has also opened up the doors of opportunity with the prisms of internationalisation being acknowledged in the policy. It gives a green signal for Indian universities to open their campuses abroad. The policy gives a roadmap to make youngsters to have a receptive mindset to embrace technology, he said.
Stating that research intensive education is the need of the hour, he said that there will be challenges in the implementation of the policy.
