Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
Giving a lead role to the Lucknow University in the implementation of New Education Policy, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has given Lucknow University (LU) a big role in implementation of the New Education Policy in universities of the Central Zone.
Vice Chancellor of Lucknow University Prof Alok Kumar Rai has been given the responsibility of being the lead coordinator of the central zone universities. These include universities of Chattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Other members of this zone include the vice-chancellors of Vikram University Ujjain, Shiv Nadar University Gautam Buddh Nagar, Guru Ghasiadas University Bilaspur, Banaras Hindu University Varanasi and Graphic Era Deemed to be University Dehradoon.
In an official statement, Prof Rai said that “it is a proud moment for the University of Lucknow to be recognised for its achievements and an honour for me to be given this responsibility.”
LU is recognised for being the first to implement the NEP structure initially at the post-graduate level from 2020-21 session followed by the under-graduate level from 2021-22.
Rai said that team work and right intent was a major factor and without the support of the faculty, achieving a feat like this would not have been possible.
