Pradhan also defended the National Education Policy (NEP), which completed five years this year. The policy has faced criticism for the three-language formula, its focus on Indian Knowledge Systems, and the fear of excessive uniformity. He dismissed these concerns as politically motivated and insisted that the Opposition is using the NEP to push its own agenda. He said the policy promotes Indianness, inclusivity, and a multidisciplinary approach that prepares young people for both national and global opportunities.

Highlighting challenges, Pradhan said India is equipped to face disruptions such as U.S. visa restrictions and global uncertainties. He stressed that the NEP empowers students with skills, critical thinking, and flexibility, ensuring they remain competitive worldwide.

The minister also responded to claims that the NEP reduces regional autonomy. He explained that the policy allows States to adapt its framework while still promoting a national vision. According to him, the Opposition is spreading misinformation, while the government is working on reforms that benefit students in every State.

Pradhan concluded that political resistance cannot overshadow the larger goal of creating a strong, future-ready education system. He said the NEP represents India’s confidence, cultural roots, and commitment to empowering the youth.
