Karnataka has become the first state in the country to implement the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) with Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan virtually launching the policy on Monday (23 August).
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said that Karnataka has set an ideal example for the other states of the country pertaining to the implementation of NEP-2020.
Karnataka has taken a lead role in the implementation of NEP, the minister said, adding that India has a large student population which is increasing every year and the real challenge lies in taking the benefits of NEP to all these students.
Speaking during the launch ceremony, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai announced that Tablet PCs will be given to those joining first year degree courses this year.
B C Nagesh, Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, also spoke on the occasion.
K Kasturirangan, who was the chairperson of the NEP drafting committee, M K Sridhar and T V Kattimani, who were members of the committee, and Anuraga Behar, member of the implementation committee, were felicitated on the occasion.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
