EPISODE 4 : Education Policy Makers Speak Discuss the thoughts behind NEP

When education policy makers speak, they emphasize inclusivity, flexibility, and the preparation of future-ready graduates. Yet, the real challenge lies in translating these ideas into meaningful practice. Rahul Singhi, Co-Founder of Poornima University, has been at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that policy frameworks such as the National Education Policy (NEP) are implemented in ways that benefit learners directly. His leadership shows how policy vision can become a lived reality for thousands of students.

Putting Students at the Heart of Education

One of the strongest messages from education policy makers is the need for Student-Centric Education. At Poornima University, Rahul Singhi has led this shift by embedding student-centric teaching & learning across programs. Faculty are no longer just instructors—they act as mentors who guide exploration and critical thinking.

• Personalized Student Learning ensures students learn at their own pace through tailored projects and mentorship.
• Interactive classes and collaborative problem-solving align with the 21st Century Learning Model, where adaptability, creativity, and teamwork matter as much as academic knowledge.
• Students are empowered to become independent learners, shaping their own journey rather than being passive recipients of content.

This student-first approach directly echoes what policy makers envision for India’s future-ready higher education system.

Building Values Alongside Knowledge

Policy discussions increasingly emphasize the role of ethics and emotional growth in higher education. Rahul Singhi has advanced this vision by integrating Value-Based Schooling into Poornima University’s culture. Alongside technical learning, students are encouraged to embrace empathy, responsibility, and integrity.

Through leadership workshops, community service, and reflective exercises, Poornima University actively nurtures Emotional Intelligence in Education. This ensures graduates are not only employable but also emotionally strong and socially responsible—qualities national policies identify as essential in the 21st century. Policy makers often speak of balancing India’s cultural heritage with modern competencies.

Education Rooted in Indian Philosophy—principles like mindfulness, discipline, and community engagement—are embedded in campus activities.

• This dual approach ensures learners are grounded in values while being equipped with advanced skills.
• Cutting-edge tools such as AI-enabled learning platforms, digital classrooms, and research-focused pedagogy prepare students for global competitiveness.

Such a model not only honors India’s traditions but also addresses policy makers’ calls for globally relevant yet culturally rooted education.

NEP in Action: Transforming Higher Education

The NEP-based higher education vision emphasizes flexibility, multidisciplinary learning, and affordability. Under Rahul Singhi’s leadership, Poornima University has aligned its programs with these principles:

• Flexible credit systems allow students to design their own academic pathways.
• Multidisciplinary options provide broader exposure without increasing financial burden.
• Strong focus on university ranking & accreditation ensures Poornima meets global standards while keeping education accessible.
• Sustainable and Ethical Learning is promoted through green campus initiatives and social responsibility projects.

This integration demonstrates how NEP reforms can move from policy drafts to real student outcomes on campus.

From Policy Words to Student Outcomes

When education policy makers speak, their words inspire change. But it is leaders like Rahul Singhi who ensure these words are implemented meaningfully. He has built a university model where policies truly empower students.

At Poornima University, policies don’t stay confined to documents—they become part of every student’s journey. This is how national education visions are translated into classrooms, campuses, and careers.
