Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the Union government released the much-awaited National Education Policy and the media immediately started dishing out stories on its salient features perhaps not even before reading the 66-page document, supposed to set the future path for the learners, in its entirety. The document claims to focus on universal access to quality education and set a way to change the knowledge landscape of India as well as ‘Bharat’. Overhauling of the education system from primary to doctoral education is envisioned in the policy. Foundation of the policy is to provide conducive atmosphere to the learners with appropriate infrastructure and resources in learning centres to build an equitable, inclusive and pluralistic society.
