PoA for NPE 1992

The NPE 1986 and its POA envisages a meaningful partnership and new sharing of responsibility between the Union Government and States. This is operationalised through several Centrally Sponsored Schemes funded by the Department and implemented by States.

The National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 and its Programme of Action (POA) which was the result of deliberations, consultations and consensus was reviewed and updated in 1992. The introductory part of the POA envisages that given the rich diversity of our nation it would be in the fitness of things if each State and Union Territory formulates a State POA in accordance with their situational imperatives as well as with the POA, 1992.
