Become trend setter: VC Prof Suresh to teachers

Deliberations on National Education Policy on first day of two-day seminar in MCU

Bhopal, 1^st March, 2021: National Education Policy review committee member and educationist Prof Mazhar Asif today discussed in detail wide ranges of issues of National Education Policy (NEP) with Head of Departments of Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal, on the first day of the two-day national seminar. Prof Asif said, NEP is the only policy ever, which has the fragrance of Indianness. Vice Chancellor Prof KG Suresh, on the occasion, called upon teachers to become trend-setters.

The University has organised a two-day seminar on ‘National Education Policy and its Implementation’ in collaboration with NITI Aayog and Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal.

In an interactive session, Prof Asif pointed out the areas for implementation as part of short-term and long term plans. ‘Teachers who are the focal point in the policy, can implement its 60 percent part and their role in implementation is more than any government,’ he said.

Vice Chancellor Prof KG Suresh said the university will make efforts for academic excellence. He called upon teachers to prepare a roadmap in advance for NEP implementation. Time-bound plan should be rolled out in this regard. We are moving towards a new phase after Covic-19 and shifting to a new campus. MCU should be ahead in the implementation of NEP in MP, he said. Head of Department of Computer Science Applications and NEP coordinator Dr CP Agrawal delivered the welcome speech. Registrar Dr Avinash Bajpai proposed the vote of thanks. Dr Pavan Malik coordinated the programme.
