The best part about NEP 2020 is the vision that the policy has for the country as a whole and for the first time I see a policy in education which takes a holistic view. The NEP 2020 document is visionary in character and has a holistic view of education, stakeholders, and the environment. The policy talks about end-to-end education for a student, that is from very tender age like childhood to very advanced age like higher education in University; policy explains as to how do things pan out and what is necessary to benefit from the policy. All these are covered in the policy document.
Kasturirangan, former chairman of ISRO, has done a wonderful job, as always, in drafting this policy document with aplomb and alacrity, for the benefit of every citizen of India. Let me start by saying how relevant National Education Policy is to our institution Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya or SCSVMV in short. We are into holistic and multi-disciplinary education and we aim to develop all capacities of human beings that is in our charter. When we say all capacities it refers to intellectual, aesthetic, social, physical, emotional, and moral; that too in an integrated manner. The holistic education we infuse into undergraduate programmes, professional programmes, technical programmes, vocational programmes, and also the medical programmes like Ayurveda.

Since we also have engineering in our institution SCSVMV we look at this as an opportunity to do multidisciplinary education with more arts and humanities included into engineering education. Students of arts and humanities aim to learn more science and also the engineering students try to learn more arts and humanities. What happens as a result is that the imaginative and flexible curricular structure makes the student very creative

and the combination of disciplines for study offer multiple creative efforts by the students themselves. We hope that our students create responsible technologies and define responsible engineering processes. We will see how this policy encourages education holistically and what it expects out of the institution and the people who make the institution namely the faculty and the students who are the ultimate learners and architects of tomorrow. When you look at NEP 2020 closely, one can see that the policy promotes some of the basic values of the constitution such as intellectual curiosity, scientific temper, creativity, spirit of service, and twenty-first century capabilities across a range of disciplines
