The new National Education Policy has already been implemented in educational institutions in the state. Teachers should take the responsibility of making students more aware of the various aspects of the new National Education Policy," he added.
The Chief Minister urged students to not only focus on textbooks but also to explore the biographies of great individuals like Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, and others.
