New Education Policy Group
28 January 2015
The objective of this Group is to formulate a New Education Policy
for the country through an inclusive, participatory and holistic
approach. The National Policy on Education was framed in 1986 and
modified in 1992. Since then several changes have taken place that calls
for a revision of the Policy. The Government of India would like to
bring out a National Education Policy to meet the changing dynamics of
the population’s requirement with regards to quality education,
innovation and research, aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by
equipping its students with the necessary skills and knowledge and to
eliminate the shortage of manpower in science, technology, academics and
industry. For this purpose, 33 themes have been identified for
discussions under this Group. The themes are divided separately for the
School Education (13 themes) and Higher Education (20 themes) sectors.
