Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 will help the new generation shed the 'Macaulay mentality,' aligning with Prime Minister Modi's vision. Pradhan emphasized that NEP aims for a paradigm shift by promoting education in the mother tongue, competency-based learning, and skill development. He also highlighted the policy's role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, preparing youth to be job creators rather than just job seekers.
