Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan has said the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has provided access to quality education for students in the remote corners of the country.
He was speaking at the inaugural session of the two-day C20 Summit on Education and Digital Transformation (EDT) that got under way here on Saturday. Several dignitaries from India and abroad attended the programme organised by the official engagement group of C20 on EDT. C20 (or Civil 20), an official engagement group of the G20, is its platform of civil-society organisations (CSOs).
Mr. Muraleedharan, who was the chief of guest, pointed out the Centre ensured the G20 presidency is not limited to just being a routine diplomatic exercise, but a truly “people’s G20”. G20-related meetings have been held in 41 cities in which 12,300 delegates representing 110 countries have taken part.
