To ensure that the vision of NEP 2020 reaches every educational institution, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced the NEP SAARTHI initiative. The term “SAARTHI” stands for “Student Ambassador for Academic Reforms in Transforming Higher Education in India.”

Kanya Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar (KMV), has been recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as an NEP SAARTHI institution for its exemplary implementation of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

About NEP 2020

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, introduced by the Government of India, marks the first major education reform of the 21st century, replacing the earlier policy formulated in 1986. This visionary policy is designed to make education more holistic, flexible, and multidisciplinary, aligning it with the demands of a rapidly changing world. At the same time, it seeks to preserve and promote India’s rich cultural heritage and traditional knowledge systems.

Key Highlights of NEP 2020

The 10+2 system has been replaced with a new 5+3+3+4 structure, emphasizing early childhood care and foundational literacy.

Multiple Entry and Exit Options in Higher Education
Students can pause and resume their education without losing credits. Certificates, diplomas, or degrees will be awarded depending on the duration completed.
Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)
