Dharmendra Pradhan on significance of National Curriculum Framework for ages 3-8

During the India Today Education Conclave 2023, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan shed light on the learning curve of the National Education Policy 2020. He emphasised the significance of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for children between the ages of three and eight.
