Lucknow: Renowned educationist and former Vice-Chancellor Professor Amarika Singh recently paid a courtesy visit to senior academic and former Vice-Chancellor Professor Ratanlal Godara. During their meeting, the two veteran scholars deliberated on forming an organization of retired professors and vice-chancellors with the aim of linking education more closely with employment and positioning India as a global leader in knowledge and innovation.
The discussion highlighted the growing importance of skill-based education, with both scholars emphasizing that nations with skilled citizens are advancing rapidly in today’s world. They noted that India’s National Education Policy (NEP) is a decisive step toward this vision, and many universities across the country have already started implementing its framework.
