UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 acknowledges that non-governmental organisations and CSR initiatives can add value in areas such as community mobilisation, innovative pedagogy and local interventions, provided they work within national and state frameworks and do not replace government responsibility.

Option A:
Completely banning NGOs and CSR would remove potentially valuable partners who can support and complement public efforts in education.

Option B:
This option is correct because it reflects NEP’s balanced view of welcoming NGO and CSR support for innovation and pilots while keeping the public system and regulation central.

Option C:
Handing over full control of schools to NGOs would undermine public accountability and equity, which NEP does not support.

Option D:
Using CSR funds purely for marketing private companies does not serve educational goals and is inconsistent with the public-spirited expectations in the policy.
