Regulator new name
The HRD Ministry has already prepared a plan to make the regulator.

After this, three decades have passed, but nothing major has been changed.
The central government believes that there is a need for a big change in the field of education so that India can become a superpower of knowledge in the world. For this, everyone needs to be educated in good quality so that a progressive and dynamic society can be created. To improve the quality of education imparted at the primary level, the emphasis is on preparing a new national curriculum framework. In this framework, knowledge of different languages, 21st-century skills, issues related to sports, arts, and atmosphere will also be included in the course.
Will sports also be included?
As far as the inclusion of sports in education is concerned, Sports Minister Kiran recently said that sports will be part of the curriculum in the country’s new education policy. Kiran said, ‘India’s new education policy has not been officially announced yet, but it is at the final stage. My ministry has already made its stand strongly during the talks. ”According to Kiran, a high-level committee has been set up to form the National Sports Education Board.
