“We need to ensure the success of New Education Policy (NEP-2020) at ground level because the principles laid by Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay are part of new education policy and are relevant to changing times. Universities should work to promote technology, and latest research which can serve as a tool in fighting corruption and ensure transparency,” said the governor.
“The nation is changing and is experimenting with latest developments and has been successful in bringing up its own vaccine for covid.
