NEW DELHI: There are currently no plans to implement state-specific cultural curricula in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, as confirmed by Union Tourism and Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy during his address to Parliament on Monday.
Responding in writing to an inquiry in the Lok Sabha, Reddy underscored that paragraph 4.32 of the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 explicitly outlines the responsibility of individual states to formulate their own curricula and produce relevant textbooks, incorporating materials specific to each state’s cultural context.
The ministry of culture, through its autonomous body Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT), designs training programmes focusing on the promotion and preservation of India’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage, literary heritage, folk and tribal art and culture (dance, music, painting) and craft traditions, with a special emphasis on multilingualism and multiculturalism, keeping in view the recommendations of the NEP-2020, Reddy stated.
