NEP Turns 5: From AI Apps To IIT Reforms, Centre Rolls Out Over Rs 4,000 Crore Projects
As the National Education Policy completes five years, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced educational projects worth Rs 4,040 crores. These include campus inauguration, digital launches, and global partnerships aimed at realising NEP 2020's transformative vision. In a major global connect, letters of intents were signed with four foreign universities to set up campuses in India- Western Sydney University, Australia in Greater Noida, Victoria University, Australia in Noida, La Trobe University Australia in Bengaluru, University of Bristol, UK in Mumbai. To promote inclusive education, foundation stones were laid for 384 hostels under two tribal welfare schemes-PM-JANMAN and DAJGUA. Aimed at bridging the education gap among Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), these hostels span 20 states with a combined investment of nearly Rs 1,400 crore. In an attempt to expand access to school education, 22 Kendriya Vidyalaya projects have been identified and 613 PM SHRI best performing schools one from each district, 24 best KVS one from each region and 7 best NVS one from each region have been identified for dedication to the nation demonstrating all saturation components. Multiple campuses and facilities under CBSE, KVS, NVS, NCERT, and central universities were also inaugurated, including new buildings for IIT Bombay's Desai Sethi School of Entrepreneurship, lecture halls across NITs, and residential towers in NIT Delhi. Under the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), one lakh students are expected to benefit offering a minimum monthly stipend of Rs 9,000 for graduates and Rs 8,000 for diploma holders. The total estimated stipend support under the initiative is around Rs 500 crore, jointly funded by the government and participating companies. Curriculum reforms were also announced at IIT Delhi and IIT BHU to make the course flexible with a multidisciplinary learning approach, multiple entry and exits, and internship-linked degrees. In line with Swachh Bharat and environmental consciousness, the Swachh Evam Harit Vidyalaya Rating (SHVR) system was also introduced, which will evaluate schools across hygiene and sustainability metrics, further incentivizing behavioural change in schools. Keeping in tandem the country's push for digital, two digital platforms were also launched. The TARA App leverages speech processing and machine learning to assess reading fluency in Grades 3-8, has already been piloted in 1,200 KVs with over 7 lakh students assessed. My Career Advisor app was also launched which aims to offer career guidance to school students with AI-driven personalization, developed in collaboration with the Wadhwani Foundation. Minister Pradhan called the NEP 2020 as a "living document" that continues to evolve through such initiatives. Five years since its inception, the policy faces challenges too as it draws criticism from some opposition-ruled states, particularly over concerns related to centralisation and language. While 35 universities have begun shifting towards a multidisciplinary model with central support, reforms like the multiple entry and exit system have seen limited adoption-pointing to both early strides and ongoing implementation challenges.

JAY GOLDBERG: Will any party stand up for Canadian consumers?

Create Account This system restricts the production of dairy, poultry and eggs in Canada and imposes severe quotas and tariffs on potential imports from abroad. All of this is done to protect fewer than 10,000 dairy farms across Canada from real competition. Canada is a nation of 40 million people. In the last federal election, more than 19 million Canadians went to the polls. Yet not one major political party is prepared to stand up for Canadian consumers and demand an end to supply management. In the last federal election, every major political party decided to support Canada's decades-old supply management system. Not one of them proposed minor reforms, let alone ending the practice altogether. In the very short period that Parliament did meet after this spring's federal election before rising for the summer, the Bloc Québécois tabled a bill calling on the government to take supply management off the table in any future trade negotiations. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Instead of recognizing that supply management is bound to be a sticking point with the Trump administration, which could only worsen the present trade conflict between Canada and the United States, every party in the House of Commons decided to support the Bloc's motion. The bill travelled through Parliament at warp speed. Politicians today couldn't all agree tax cuts, spending restraint, health-care reform or even what type of food should be served in Parliament's cafeteria. But somehow, every single party lined up to support a bill that would help entrench the status quo of fewer choices and higher prices for Canadian consumers. Where were the Conservatives on this? The party has been oddly supportive of supply management since the creation of the modern Conservative Party back in 2003. Usually, the Conservative Party sees itself as a party that fights for lower prices and less regulation. But not on this. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. How about the Liberals? They backed down on the party's beloved digital services tax at the eleventh hour at the urging of the Trump administration; a tax that would have applied to technology giants like Amazon, Apple and Uber and raised prices for Canadian consumers. The party has also done a 180-degree turn on defence spending, moving up Canada's two per cent spending target timetable and committing to spending 5% of gross domestic product on national defence by 2035. But on supply management? Apparently, the Liberals won't be moved. Canada's Members of Parliament are foolish to tie the hands of trade negotiators in this way, especially when it comes at the cost of millions of Canadian consumers. One party could have stood up in the House of Commons and declared that it is time for Canada's dairy farmers to compete with the world. Evidence from other countries has shown that opening the sector lowers prices, increases choice and ultimately leads to innovation in the sector and higher exports and profits for the dairy sector in the long run. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. But every man and woman decided to defend the unacceptable status quo. A status quo that costs the average consumer up to $444 a year from higher dairy, poultry, and egg prices. Canadian consumers, who are facing household grocery bills $800 more than last year, should remember the vote their political leaders took in Ottawa the next time they pick up some milk, cheese and chicken. And they should certainly remember how politicians voted come the next election. The truth is that the dairy lobby has an iron grip over Ottawa, consumers be damned. It's time for Canadian consumers to stand up and demand to be represented. Supply management is about to become a major issue in trade negotiations with the United States and has stymied trade deals with other countries like the United Kingdom in the past. If Canada doesn't want to end up with massive new tariffs from the United States and wants to compete in the global marketplace, politicians in Ottawa must have the courage to stand up to lobbyists and defend the biggest interest group of all: Canadian consumers.
