Key challenge for Siddaramiah’s Congress Govt: review NEP, its “health & wellbeing” policy

Dr. Sylvia Karpagam -
The union government’s controversial NEP, adopted by the erstwhile BJP-led Karnataka government institutionalises discrimination and dogma in education, it’s important to document concerns around it before it becomes a template for other states. Although the stated objective of the paper is to illustrate the importance of health, it embroils itself in irrational and unscientific propaganda that can be disastrous within an educational space.

0
In an era where majoritarian politics is openly dismissive of Muslim concerns, the Congress still benefits from being seen as the lesser evil. But “lesser evil” is not a sustainable political identity.
