This implementation plan outlines the roadmap and path for the implementation of NEP 2020 over the next 10 years, which is very important for a smooth and efficient implementation, ”he said.

On this occasion, Pokhriyal said that the plan was interactive, flexible and inclusive. The main objective of SARTHAQ is the definition of objectives and the establishment of deadlines. It links the NEP recommendations with 297 “tasks”, as well as the responsible agencies, the schedules and 304 results of these tasks.
The statement goes on to say: “An attempt has also been made to offer activities in such a way that they build on the existing structure and do not create new structures. Therefore, SARTHAQ cares about the spirit and intent of the directive and should be implemented gradually. “
