The government had earlier formed a panel under former cabinet secretary T S R Subramanian on National Education Policy. Sources said inputs from the Subramanian panel report will be utilised for the final draft.
The government has appointed a nine-member committee under space scientist Krishnaswamy Kasturirangan’s leadership to prepare the final draft for the New Education Policy (NEP). The panel, which has been asked to begin work immediately, includes members from across the country.
Sources said the government hopes that the committee’s diversity will help it understand the varied issues involved in formulation of a key policy document. “The panelists belong to different age groups which should be helpful as they would be able to bring experience, innovation and also global exposure which are so vital for such an important policy formulation,” an official said.

According to sources, the government has received thousands of suggestions from educationists, teachers, experts, students and other stakeholders during a 30-month exercise. Consultations have also been held at tehsil and district levels and state governments have given their opinion too.
