Ranchi's YBN University is gearing up to host a significant national-level academic event focused on the future of higher education in India. The university will organize a two-day national seminar titled “Navigating the New Horizon: Integrating NEP-2020 with Contemporary University Education and Viksit Bharat.” The event is scheduled for December 22 and 23.
Bridging Policy and Practice in Higher Education
The core objective of this seminar is to foster in-depth deliberations on the effective execution of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 within India's higher education landscape. A central theme will be exploring how these educational reforms contribute to the broader national vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India). The event promises to be a confluence of diverse expertise, attracting eminent academicians, university administrators, scientists, and policymakers from across the nation.
Creating a Platform for National Academic Dialogue
Outlining the seminar's purpose, Prof Satyadeo Poddar, Vice-Chancellor of YBN University, emphasized its role in establishing a crucial national academic platform. The aim is to strategically align ongoing and future higher education reforms with the foundational objectives laid out in the NEP-2020 framework. This gathering is expected to move beyond theoretical discussion and focus on actionable insights for implementation.
Key Expected Outcomes and National Impact
The seminar is positioned as a critical step in translating policy into practice. By bringing together key stakeholders, it seeks to address practical challenges and opportunities in modernizing university education. The integration with the Viksit Bharat agenda highlights the recognized role of a revamped, contemporary education system as a primary driver for national development and global competitiveness. The discussions over these two days are likely to shape actionable recommendations for institutions nationwide.
This initiative by YBN University underscores its proactive stance in leading conversations that are pivotal to shaping the future of Indian academia and, by extension, the nation's human resource capital.
