UT News Service | Shillong, August 8: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Meghalaya, said that it “welcomes” the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 and termed it as a “revolutionary step” that would transform the nation into an equitable and vibrant knowledge society.

ABVP state secretary DarilinTang in a statement on Saturday said that the NEP narrows the gap between speaking languages and learning languages and also recognizes the importance of local language which is on the verge of extinction.
