NEP focuses on providing self-confidence to youth, says PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the Union Budget has broadened government's efforts to link education with employability and entrepreneurial capability. He said, the second biggest focus after health in this year's budget is on education, skill, research and innovation and to build Atmanirbhar Bharat, the youth of the country needs self-confidence which is directly connected to their education, knowledge and skill. 
Addressing a webinar on implementation of Budget in education sector on Wednesday, Modi said the new National Education Policy has been developed with this key thought. He also said, in the new National Education Policy(NEP), the use of the Indian languages has been encouraged and it is the responsibility of the experts of every language, how the best content of the world should be made available in Indian languages.

The Prime Minister said, it is an injustice to the nation to keep knowledge and research in limits. With this mindset, the government is opening up several sectors like agriculture, space, atomic energy and DRDO for youth. He added that India has tested the Hydrogen Vehicle and now the country has to make itself industry-ready to utilize hydrogen as a fuel for transport. He also said, future fuel and green energy are very important so as to make the country self-reliant in the energy sector. Thus, the Hydrogen Mission announced in the budget is a massive project.
