Body: The resource person by giving a brief elaboration of the salient features of the New Education Policy 2020 on Higher Education highlighted the fundamental principles of the policy, its vision, how quality universities and colleges could be a new and forward-looking vision for India’s higher education system, institutional restructuring and consolidation and talked about how the policy could lead towards a more holistic and multidisciplinary education, equity and inclusion in higher education, how the policy could promote Indian languages, arts and culture and many more. As the NEP 2020 on higher education is very wide in scope, the resource person had a lot to discuss regarding the upgradation and upliftment of India’s higher education system once the policy comes into implementation. He further discussed the role and importance of the teacher, why their dedication and participation would be required at all cost for the policy’s effective and efficient implementation. At the end of the resource person’s presentation, an ample amount of time was spared for raising questions and clarifying doubts. A lot of questions were raised by the participants and these questions were briefly and vividly answered by the resource person.
