National Education Policy (NEP)

The ‘National Education Policy 2020’ outlines a comprehensive framework for primary, higher, and vocational education. Guided by the principle of ‘Equitable and Inclusive Education,’ it emphasizes that no child should be denied access to high-quality education based on socio-cultural background. To achieve Sustainable Development goals, the entire educational system must be redesigned to foster learning. Our institution employs a teaching strategy that recognizes and nurtures each student’s unique potential, promoting holistic development in both academic and extracurricular contexts. We prioritize multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary topics, enabling students to acquire knowledge across various courses. Additionally, our college offers adaptable and cutting-edge curricula in value-based education, environmental studies, and community engagement through NSS.

Our affiliated university, Vidyasagar University, has embraced the concept of the ‘Academic Bank of Credit’ in alignment with the NEP-2020. We firmly believe that this historic education policy will yield significant positive outcomes, and we have diligently worked to ensure its successful implementation.

The current CBCS & CCFUP curriculum places significant emphasis on enhancing students’ skills. It offers the freedom to choose Skill Enhancement Courses and Discipline-Specific Electives, which focus on skill development, problem-solving, analytical thinking, and critical learning. Additionally, experiential learning is prioritized. Furthermore, we have organized extra training programs to empower students to launch their own entrepreneurial ventures after graduation. These programs include workshops, career counseling, sports competitions, and Add-on Courses.

The National Education Policy 2020 places strong emphasis on multilingualism and the power of language, aiming to make students aware of the diverse linguistic heritage of our nation. At GGDC, Keshiary, we uphold this vision by offering three languages in our undergraduate programs: English, Bengali, and Santali. Additionally, major courses in History and Political Science foster national integration, a passion for art and culture, respect for women’s communities, and civic consciousness among our student body. Furthermore, our college houses multiple science departments, including Anthropology, Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry, catering to the curious minds of local students.

Outcome-Based Education’ (OBE), a central focus of the NEP 2020, permeates all levels of education in India. The introduction of the CBCS curriculum marks the initial step toward implementing OBE. Beyond domain-specific knowledge, our courses prioritize learning outcomes aligned with cognitive capacities: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Furthermore, each syllabus is meticulously crafted to address macroeconomic and societal needs.
