Governor RN Ravi has urged the public to read National Education Policy before opposing it.
Delivering his presidential speech at the convocation of Tamil Nadu Open University (TNOU), he said the NEP was not being fully appreciated and many did not realise its worth as they were yet to read it properly.
āI have visited many universities and while interacting with them (students), I realised that many have read only commentaries and opinion pieces about NEP in newspaper and not the original policy…Ā NEP is a comprehensive document that opens new vistas in the education sector,ā added Governor.
Speaking at the event, Higher Education Minister K Ponmudy appealed to the Governor to recommend to the UGC to allow Annamalai University to continue offering distance education.
