On the new National Education Policy, the governor said it has come after 34 years and its objective is to make education helpful in the holistic development of a student. Emphasising the promotion of quality and innovative research in universities, he said research activities should develop critical and analytical ability of students. He said that research should be such that it is useful from both academic and social points of view.
Mishra said the Indian Constitution is a global document of human rights and duties and the new generation should be made aware of it. For this purpose, an initiative has been taken to build a Constitution Park in state universities, he added. He suggested that private universities should also take steps in this direction so that the students here can get inspiration to implement high ideals of the Constitution in life.
