Dehradun, 29 Jul: The National Education Policy 2020 has completed 5 years of implementation. Over the past five years, paradigms have shifted, Interactive Panels replaced blackboards, AI has entered classrooms and learning by doing has become the key word. The National Education Policy marked a drastic transformation in the Indian education system.
The National Education Policy 2020 is India’s first education policy of the 21st century aiming to transfer the education system from school to higher education.
It is designed to align with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The NEP2020 focuses on access, equity, quality, affordability, and accountability, with the goal of making India a global knowledge superpower.
PMSHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Birpur was the proud host of the five-year anniversary celebration of National Education Policy 2020 in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Dehradun Region. Present at the celebration was Ganesh Joshi, Minister of Agriculture and Soldiers’ Welfare, Uttarakhand, and Lt Col Ateet Hansen (69 Mtn Brg), nominee Chairman, VMC.
Principal Basanti Khampa, in her welcome speech, proudly informed that out of 14,500 PMSHRI Vidyalaya’s that were dedicated to the Nation by Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Minister of Education, PMSHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Birpur is one of them. PMSHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Birpur holds the prestigious position of being the best PMSHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan Dehradun Region.
