NEP implementation bodies – UGC NET Question

Education is listed in the Concurrent List of the Constitution, meaning both Centre and States share responsibility. NEP 2020 therefore stresses cooperative federalism for implementation of its recommendations.

Option A:
Claiming that only the Union government is responsible ignores the constitutional distribution of powers and the practical role of State education departments.

Option B:
This option correctly identifies the shared nature of educational governance in India and the need for Centre–State coordination to implement NEP 2020.

Option C:
Municipal bodies run some schools but work under State frameworks; they cannot alone implement a national policy.

Option D:
International organisations may support projects but have no formal authority over India’s education system.
