The University Grants Commission (UGC) has set up five zonal committees to facilitate universities in developing a roadmap for the effective implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). The five committees cover the northern, northeastern, eastern, western, southern, and central regions, and comprise vice-chancellors from central, state, private, and deemed universities. Maharaj Sayajirao University of Baroda, Gujarat, is organising the first conference on the implementation of the NEP 2020 for the Western Zone on October 26, 2023. The conference will be held from 9am to 5pm.
"As the conference is of high relevance and significance to all stakeholders, the UGC requests that universities and colleges join the live stream of the conference for the benefit of faculty, students, and staff," the university body said.

The UGC stated, "The decision to constitute the zonal committees has been made to fulfil the vision of NEP 2020 and ensure that the benefits reach a large section of aspirational youth in a time-bound manner. This decision was taken to facilitate universities in developing a roadmap for the effective implementation of significant initiatives."
The foundation of NEP 2020 is based on five fundamental principles: accessibility, fairness, excellence, cost-effectiveness, and responsibility. Its objective is to equip young individuals to confront the wide-ranging challenges of both the current and future global and national landscapes.
