"This policy suggests many revolutionary changes in school and higher education leading to the holistic development of students. The National Education Policy will fulfil the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create a self-reliant India," Singh said in another tweet.

Meanwhile, last week Prime Minister Narendra Modi indicated that the new NEP is set to be rolled out in 2022, giving a sense of clarity on a formal roadmap for the policy. The Union Cabinet on July 29 approved National Education Policy 2020 bringing major reforms in higher education.
