Requirement of funds for NEP implementation to be estimated after policy is finalised: HRD Minister

The requirement of funds for implementation of the New Education Policy (NEP) will be estimated after finalisation of the policy, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' said on Thursday.

The government is in process of giving final shape to the policy. Various states have flagged the funding issues regarding the proposed NEP by the Union HRD Ministry, saying the draft has some good proposals but no "financial plan of action for implementation."
