The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Vidya Vistar Scheme and the revival of the Centre for Canadian Studies found mention as initiatives and plans in the Delhi University's (DU) annual report card for the 2020-21 academic year. The report, released on Monday, detailed the university's growth, achievements and plans for the next academic year. The DU constituted the National Education Policy 2020 Implementation Committee (NEP Committee) this year for making recommendations for its implementation. It said the 42-member committee, headed by Professor Vivek Suneja, is currently examining issues relating to the implementation of the NEP with respect to the academic programmes of the university. Also, in the last one year, the DU started the Vidya Vistar Scheme to develop cooperative academic bonding between its colleges and those of other universities, which are situated at remote areas of the country. "The aim of the Vidya Vistar Scheme is to maximise the contribution of higher educational institutions to nation building through an optimum utilisation of the existing resources and potentials. Through this scheme, the University of Delhi proposes to throw open its faculties, library and other academic facilities available in its departments and colleges to the partner institutions for academic cooperation and collaboration," it said.
