The first National Education Policy was introduced in 1968 under the Indira Gandhi government. The policy has been reviewed in the
subsequent years.
In 1986, Rajiv Gandhi announced the second policy on education which resulted in Operation Blackboard, a centrally-sponsored programme to supply the bare minimum crucial facilities to all primary schools.
In 1992, this policy was modified under the prime ministership of P.V. Narsimha Rao.
Now, the Subramanian panel will assess the status of the present education scenario, assimilate the feedback based on grassroot-level consultations and draft a new one keeping in mind the changed social, economic and technological context.
The committee will be asked to submit its report by year end.

The HRD Ministry, under Smriti Irani, had earlier this year launched nation-wide consultations, at gram panchayat, block, district and state level, to collect feedback and suggestions for the new policy. This feedback will be provided to the drafting committee.
We wish this coming NPE will be more focused on education of modern technology yet to emphasis on moral education as well.
