National Education Policy-2020 is the most powerful means to free the students from the long-standing colonial mindset and to provide India-centric education. Now, according to the National Education Policy-2020 in teaching, subjects will not start with Sigmund Freud, Adam Smith and Darwin etc. but will start with the Indian system of knowledge. Continuous efforts to eliminate not only Indian beliefs and traditions, culture and rituals, customs and customs, knowledge and science, but also the fundamental identity of India through the education used in India by the Macaulay Draft brought in 1835. to be done. India and Indianness should have been the center of India’s educational reconstruction after independence, but this did not happen. As a result, our current education has not yet recovered from colonial slavery. Now the Indian Knowledge Base has been included in every syllabus through the National Education Policy. A separate “Bharatiya Gyan Kosh Cell” has also been started in the library of CUSB.
The second innovation is related to the promotion of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education. The National Education Policy has broken the rigid walls between the subjects. Now a mathematics student can also study music and inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary will be promoted not only in studies but also in research. To promote interdisciplinary and problem solving focused research, the NRF has been approved by the Union Cabinet. (National Research Institute) has been passed.
The National Education Policy has not disappointed any student considering their time and financial capability. Now during the four year undergraduate course certificate in one year, diploma in two years, degree in three years and honors in four years and also if his CGPA If it is more than 7.5, then research can also be done. It has a system of multiple entry and multiple exit and for its operation there is a system of Academic Bank of Credit. Now the student can transfer anywhere with his/her credit, which was not possible till now. So far 2500 certificates of South Bihar Central University have been registered on the Academic Bank of Credit portal. In order to promote patriotism, promotion of democratic values and loyalty to the constitution among the students, such optional subjects will also be part of the curriculum. Respect and protection of public property is also the responsibility of every citizen. Such initiatives have been brought in the National Education Policy to inculcate in the students a sense of ownership towards public assets such as railways, roads, temples, hospitals, public buildings etc. For the promotion of constitutional and democratic values, special events are also being organized on Constitution Day.
