During the formulation of this policy, a detailed discussion was held at the University of Mysore under the leadership of Kasturi Rangan. Vice-Chancellors of all the Universities had taken part in that meeting held in the year 2019 and had expressed their views and opinions. Educational experts had thrown light on several aspects of the new NEP. Kasturi Rangan had also shared a lot of ideas. It was a successful seminar. This workshop is held as a continuation of that seminar.”
