Prof. Bajpai very aptly discussed the dynamics of NEP-2020 by initiating the talk with multi and interdisciplinary concept of education. He talked of the importance of education in overall character development and employability of the students. The flow of knowledge and learning through mother tongue will help both students and teacher to use their potential fully. He emphasized on the analytical aptitude, creativity and realistic approach for the advancement of higher education.
Prof. Bajpai discussed an innovative concept of 7 and 10 year integrated programs for post-graduation and Ph.D., respectively. In his view the experience of retired teachers can be profitably used for the success of National Education Policy 2020. He pointed out that content/component of research should go beyond the conventional limitation and should encourage the amalgamation of knowledge generation for the societal use more vigorously. In his view this policy is a futuristic policy which will take our education system to new heights and will help us to connect to our roots. The institutions should work according to institutional development plan which will ensure setting the goals for them and achieving them in due course of time.
