The new National Education Policy (NEP) policy is learner-centric and stresses on learning instead of mere studying and is a step ahead of going beyond the curriculum to focus on critical thinking, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday.

The prime minister asserted, "It is the collective responsibility of all stakeholders to implement the policy in letter and spirit".

"The youth will now be able to learn according to their interests," Modi said, while addressing at the Governors' conference on the Role of NEP in Transforming Higher Education.

Earlier, students used to pick a stream beyond their aptitude and they would realise it much later. These problems have been addressed in the NEP, the prime minister said. "With vocational exposure right from an early age, our youth would get better prepared for life," he said, adding that their participation in the global job market and employability in India will increase with practical learning, an official statement said.

"India has been an ancient centre of learning, and the government is working to make it the hub of knowledge economy in the 21st century", he said.

The new policy has paved the way for international institutions to set up their campuses in India, the statement said.
