The minister said this policy also considers the need to design framework for extended use of technology in the teaching-learning process, development of online course contents, the introduction of Academic Bank of Credits and establishment of National Research Foundation (NRF) and National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), which would benefit the Indian scholars to compete at the global level. He gave the success mantra of 'Perform, Reform and Transform' for successfully implementing all new imperatives of NEP 2020 essential for changing the society and transforming the life of youth for evolving global peace, as per an official release.
