President Ram Nath Kovind addressed the Visitor's Conference on 'Implementation of National Education Policy 2020: Higher Education' on September 19 via video conferencing.
"India was a globally respected education hub in ancient times.
Universities at Takshashila and Nalanda had iconic status.
But today, India's higher education institutions don't get high positions in global rankings.
Effective implementation of NEP is likely to restore India's glory as a great centre of learning.
One of the targets of NEP 2020 is to increase Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education to 50% by 2035.
Technology can help in achieving this target," the President said at the event.
