Union Minister of Education Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has said that Kendriya Vidyalayas are to be set up in every block of the country starting with Uttarakhand.
He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is encouraging the steps towards it and that the Centre, under PM Modi’s leadership, has agreed upon opening Kendriya Vidyalayas in all 95 blocks of the state.
He went on to say that under the New Education Policy, the propagation of Indic languages is set to be made a primary goal and that a strong base for Sanskrit is to be established. He added that the new policy aims to make higher education more instrumental in preventing outmigration by giving the degree courses a professional edge.
Meanwhile, Ramesh Pohriyal is facing a lot of flak nationwide for being vocal about conducting exams like JEE, CLAT and NEET, amongst other competitive exams. He said that he would not let a precious year of education go waste for students all over the country.
