New National Education Policy by December”

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani recently announced that her ministry is working on a new National Education Policy (NEP) which would be formed by December 2015.

Furthermore, suggestions in this regard have been invited from the education ministers of all the states. “They have been asked to send their suggestions by November so that a universal education policy could be made for the whole country,” Irani said.

Meanwhile, the HRD Minister refuted claims that as a result of her differences with the Bharatiya Janta Party chief Amit Shah, she was dropped from BJP’s national executive committee. “No. I have no differences with him. He is like an elder brother to me. And the government has already entrusted me with a big responsibility,” she said
