The President was confident that with the implementation of NEP 2020, the Indian youth will be able to freely choose their subjects according to their interests and talents.

The President said that imparting education in Indian languages has been given emphasis to help young minds grow spontaneously. “This will strengthen Indian languages as well as the unity of the country..
