Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has laid emphasis on a diverse range of subjects in universities instead of focusing only on a specific area.
The universities in the state will be developed holistically, they should represent a comprehensive array of subjects keeping global approach in focus, said chief minister while speaking at the inauguration of two-day workshop on Indian knowledge tradition in various contexts under the National Education Policy-2020 on Tuesday.

embraced from wherever it comes.

To create a rich generation based on the Indian knowledge tradition that will keep the national interest paramount, it is necessary that colleges and universities make students knowledgeable and skilled.
