The National Education Policy (NEP)- 2020 aims at promoting gender parity and bringing every girl child to the forefront of the world of knowledge, Andhra Pradesh Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan has said.
Delivering his address at the 19 th and 20 th convocation of Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswa Vidyalayam (SPMVV) on November 11 (Friday), Mr. Harichandan, who is also the Chancellor of universities, appreciated the institution for proactively responding to the challenges and demonstrating its commitment to training girl students with ‘future-ready skills’.
Referring to the NEP-2020, the Governor said that the transformation in the educational sector was offering equal opportunities to girls and special concern groups such as transgenders. “The NEP-2020, within its framework, contains numerous provisions in education system for the attainment of gender balance by recommending to set up of a Gender Inclusion Fund,” Mr. Harichandan said.
The Chancellor also expressed happiness on the SPMVV retaining its band of 151-200 in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) and the 42 nd rank in pharmacy category for the 2021-22 academic year.
Mr. Harichandan also conferred honorary doctorate on noted classical danseuse and Padma Shri awardee Gaddam Padmaja Reddy. Delivering the convocation address, Ms. Reddy advised the students not to confine themselves to the classrooms and instead nurture their talent. “Pursue your passion and take it higher, not for the sake of money, but to derive a purpose of life,” she told the students.
