Addressing the Week Education Conclave 2026 in New Delhi, the Minister stated that NEP has enabled students to pursue education aligned with their aptitude and aspirations rather than being confined to predetermined academic pathways. Dr Singh noted that students now have the freedom to explore diverse disciplines ranging from biotechnology to literature and other emerging fields. Highlighting the role of technology in expanding access to education, the Minister stated that educational opportunities have undergone a process of democratisation over the past decade.
