Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Viswanath Arlekar talked about bold vision of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 at Guru Nanak College's 50th Graduation Day Thursday . He said policy's goal is to create entrepreneurs,not just job-seekers . "Is aim of education simply to get job? Am I to become job-seeker? Or,am I to become job-giver? That is what we have to decide," he challenged students to reconsider their goals.
Arlekar stressed importance of education that aligns with local needs, suggesting this approach would boost self-sufficiency and help nation-building. He called NEP 2020 a major move towards decolonizing education in India. A shift in structure.
Governor handed out medals and certificates to top students across many disciplines. R.M.
