Governor Kalraj Mishra has asked all state universities to implement the New Education Policy (NEP) at the earliest. He said the policy was not only promoted self-reliance through skill enhancement but was also based on India’s cultural values.

The governor was addressing the concluding session of the meeting of the State Universities Vice-Chancellor’s Coordination Committee at the Raj Bhavan on Monday. All 27 vice-chancellors of the state were present.

Mishra said the universities should find ways to generate resources to become financially self-reliant. "Universities should spread awareness about India’s freedom struggle and popularise local heroes by organising exhibitions and seminars under the Amrit Mahotsav of Azadi," said Mishra.

He directed the varsities to set up ‘Centers of Excellence’ and provide education through the state-of-the-art teaching methods through them. Adopting villages under social participation and developing them as smart villages with facilities with the cooperation of state government departments at various levels was discussed in the meeting.

Chancellor Mishra directed that an integrated policy should be adopted for providing free education to specially-abled students in all universities of the state and the tenure of the post of the registrar in universities should be for a minimum period of two years.

"A system of inter-student transfer in universities under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in the NEP should be developed. Uniformity should be maintained in making the Constitution Park and rest of the universities should also complete this work on priority," said Mishra.

Minister of state for higher education, Rajendra Singh Yadav, said the vicechancellors and registrars should work with mutual coordination considering quality education as the top priority in the university.

He suggested the vicechancellors should apprise the education department of the work plans of the universities so that proper provision can be made for them in the upcoming budget.
