Tripura: Workshop on National Education Policy 2020 Implementation organized in State

Agartala: Tripura University, in collaboration with the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), New Delhi, organised a two-day national workshop on December 19 and 20. The workshop, titled “National Education Policy 2020: Financial Application and Resource Mobilization by Higher Educational Institutions,” aimed to address the critical challenges of implementing the NEP 2020 in the Northeastern region.

Prof. Ganga Prasad Prasain, VC, Tripura University said, “The theme of the workshop was “National Education Policy 2020: Financial Application and Resource Mobilization by Higher Educational Institutions. This event brought together representatives from all the states of Northeast India, including finance officers, registrars, directors of higher education departments, and other key stakeholders. A total of 50 participants attended the workshop.”

“The workshop aimed to explore practical ways to implement NEP 2020 in colleges and universities effectively. The event featured eight resource persons from different parts of India who shared their expertise and insights on the subject. Participants gained valuable knowledge, which they can use to strengthen the implementation of NEP 2020 in their respective states,” he further said.

Discussions focussed on financial planning, resource mobilization, and strategies for higher educational institutions to effectively implement NEP 2020.

Prof. Mona Khare, Prof & Head, Dept. of Education Finance, NIEPA said, “This two-day workshop was entirely focused on the Northeastern region, as there are numerous issues and challenges specific to this area. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has introduced several policies aimed at transforming higher education institutions. For example, skills training, which was previously not a part of higher education, has now been made mandatory. Similarly, there is a strong focus on research and innovation. A significant aspect of NEP 2020 is its emphasis on supporting economically disadvantaged groups and students from underprivileged backgrounds who are now joining colleges and universities. The policy outlines the development of robust support systems for these students. However, implementing these changes requires substantial financial resources.” (ANI)
