To ensure the uniform application of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) across India, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced a new scheme called NEP Student Ambassador for Academic Reforms in Transforming Higher Education in India (NEP SAARTHI). This initiative aims to actively involve students in the implementation of NEP 2020.
M Jagadesh Kumar, the chairman of UGC, emphasizes the significance of NEP 2020 as a vital reform that seeks to revamp the education system in India with a focus on quality, equity, and access. Kumar recognizes the pivotal role students play in this transformative process as an integral part of the education system. He emphasizes that the successful transformation of higher education necessitates collective participation and commitment from key stakeholders, including vice-chancellors, directors, principals, faculty, staff, and most importantly, students.
“To enhance student participation and create awareness regarding the various reforms outlined in NEP 2020, the UGC is introducing NEP Student Ambassador for Academic Reforms in Transforming Higher Education in India (NEP SAARTHI). Through NEP SAARTHI, the UGC aims to foster an environment that encourages meaningful student engagement and effective utilization of the provisions of NEP 2020,” explains Kumar.
As part of this initiative, the UGC has called upon vice-chancellors, directors, and principals of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to nominate three students from their respective institutions, regardless of their discipline, to be considered as NEP SAARTHIs.
The primary objectives of NEP SAARTHI are to create awareness and promote the initiatives of NEP 2020 among students on campus, motivate and encourage students to actively participate in implementing NEP 2020, establish a feedback mechanism to gauge the impact of NEP 2020 initiatives on students and address their concerns.
The nomination criteria for NEP SAARTHI include students currently pursuing higher education at various levels, including certificate, diploma, undergraduate, or postgraduate programs. According to Kumar, nominated students should possess excellent communication skills, organizational capabilities for conducting outreach programs, creativity, a sense of responsibility, and the ability to lead a team.
Each university can nominate up to three students as NEP SAARTHIs, accompanied by brief write-ups justifying the nominations. Based on these nominations, the UGC will select 300 NEP SAARTHIs from among the nominees.
By appointing dedicated and responsible NEP SAARTHIs and providing them with appropriate recognition and support, the government aims to effectively implement the NEP 2020 initiatives and foster a culture of active participation and awareness among students.
