4. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTES IN INDIA
 India currently has about 845 universities
 approximately 40,000 higher education institutions (HIEs),
 40% of these small sized institutions are running single
programme against the expected multidisciplinary style.
 20% of the colleges have annual enrolment less than 100
students making them nonviable to improve the quality of
education
 only 4% of colleges enroll more than 3,000 students
annually due to regional imbalance

5. NEP2020:
• NEP is an education policy, a framework, a vision and has
not yet attained legal status
• Role of State Govts likely to get reduced
• 21st Century’s first education policy in India
• Aims at making “India a global knowledge
superpower”.
• Renaming of the Ministry of Human Resource
Development to the Ministry of Education.
• NEP2020is only the third major revamp of the
framework of education in India since independence after
1968 and 1986.
•The NPE also called for realizing compulsory education
for every child until the Age of (6-14) but NEP (3-18 yrs.)
•NEP 2020 is aligned to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development

6. The Ministry of Human Resource Development formed a Committee chaired by Dr K. Kasturirangan for preparing the NEP. The
Committee was constituted in June 2017. The Committee submitted its report on May 31, 2019.
Vision of NEP2020
India-centric education system
Main Goal
• Increasing the gross enrolment ratio in higher education
• vocational training, from 26.3% (2018) to 50% by 2035.
Need for NEP2020
Problems in Indian higher education system like :-
 enforced separation of qualifications
 early specialization
 student streaming into restricted research areas
 less focus on research at most universities and schools
 lack of competitive peer-reviewed academic research funding
 large affiliated universities leading to low levels of undergraduate education

include:-
• Increasing public investment in education
• Setting up NEC (National Education Commission)

NEP2020 and Promotion of
Indian Culture

9. NEP2020: Initiatives for Cultural Awareness
• Culture Is Totality Of Socially Trained Behaviour; Culture Is Centre Point Of Every
Civilization, Value Systems , Lifestyle, Polity, Economy, Religion ,And Geography.
• The Preservation & Promotion Of Cultural Wealth Is A High Priority For The Nation’s
Identity.
• Cultural awareness and expression are among the major competencies considered
important to develop in children, in order to provide them with a sense of identity,
belonging, as well as an appreciation of other cultures and identities.
• It is through the development of a strong sense and knowledge of their own cultural
history, arts, languages, and traditions that children can build a positive cultural identity
and self-esteem.
• languages influence the way people of a given culture speak with others, including with
family members, authority figures, peers, and strangers, and influence the tone of
conversation. Culture is, thus, encased in our languages. In order to preserve and promote
culture, one must preserve and promote a culture’s languages.

10. • Unfortunately, India is losing over 220 languages in the last 50 years alone.
• UNESCO has declared 197 Indian languages as ‘endangered ’. Various
unscripted languages are particularly in danger of becoming extinct.
• Even those languages of India that are not officially on such endangered lists,
such as the 22 languages of Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India, are
facing serious difficulties on many fronts.
• There has been a severe scarcity of skilled language teachers in India.
• NEP2020 aims to improve to be more focused on language related issues.
• NEP 2020 mentions numerous policies to promote languages, arts, and culture
amongst the students

11. Following are some of the policies mentioned in NEP2020
 Early implementation of the three-language formula to promote multilingualism teaching in the home/local
language
 Strong departments and programmes in Indian languages, comparative literature, creative writing, arts,
music, philosophy, etc. will be launched and developed across the country, and degrees including 4- year B.Ed.
dual degrees will be developed in these subjects.
 To develop a large cadre of high-quality language
 Every higher education institution and even every school or school complex will aim to have Artist(s)-in-
Residence to expose students to art, creativity, and the rich treasures of the region/country.
 More HEIs, and more programmes in higher education, will use the mother tongue/local language as a
medium of instruction
 To promote the strength, usage, and vibrancy of all Indian languages.
 High-quality programmes and degrees in Translation and Interpretation
 The Policy recognizes that the knowledge of the rich diversity of India should be imbibed first hand by
learners. This would mean including simple activities, like touring by students to different parts of the
country. 100 tourist destinations in the country will be identified where educational institutions will send
students to study these destinations

12.  Three-Language Formula
 Multidisciplinary institutions of higher learning.
 Sanskrit Knowledge Systems will be established/strengthened across the multidisciplinary higher
education system.
 Efforts to preserve and promote endangered languages Academies for other highly spoken Indian
languages may also be established by the Centre and/or States. Academies will be consisting of some
of the greatest scholars and native speakers to determine accurate vocabulary and to release the latest
dictionaries and concepts on a regular basis
 Documentation of languages and their associated arts and culture All languages in India, and their
associated arts and culture will be documented through a web-based platform/portal/wiki, in order to
preserve endangered and all Indian languages and their associated rich local arts and culture. The
platform will contain videos, dictionaries, recordings, and more, of people (especially elders) speaking
the language, telling stories, reciting poetry, and performing plays, folk songs and dances, and more.
 Scholarships for people of all ages to study Indian Languages, Arts, and Culture with local masters
and/or within the higher education system will be established.

13. Observations& Discussion
 The policy calls for a large-scale implementation of a magnitude never before
attempted anywhere in the world.
 The mission is aspirational but the successful implementation depends upon how
would implementers understand the challenges and try to overcome it.
 It requires great deal of acceptance, commitment, optimism, change in attitude, and
mind-set both on the part of Govt and Civil Society.
 Fiancé will play big roll, 3%of GDP to 6 % of GDP ; similar provision was made in
earlier policies of 1968 & 1986.
 It is Expected by 2040 Govt will be able to implement is completely
 State Govt likely to loose their role as NEP Promotes centralization
