After the introduction of the NEP in the year 2020, the future of the youth depends a lot on how this policy turns out to be.

Amit Shah’s Statement
“In the recently concluded COP26 meet, the PM has set an ambitious goal before the world. And India has led this summit in a way that has amazed the world.
To achieve these goals between 2030 and 2070, the role of our next generation will be significant. I urge you to create awareness through campaigns in schools and colleges and also among the general public.
Till a feeling to achieve these goals is generated among the general public, it won’t be easy to achieve these goals.
The government will do its part, but governor houses need to work on connecting people with it,” Shah said, addressing the 51st Governors’ Conference at Rashtrapati Bhawan.
It is indeed an essential step towards a better India, and we need to make sure that it is in the right direction.
