NEP Saarthi is a national student ambassador programme launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as part of the Ministry of Education's initiative to implement the National Education Policy 2020 across Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India. At Bharati College, the programme is coordinated by dedicated faculty and student ambassadors. The programme empowers students to serve as change-makers — spreading awareness about NEP 2020 reforms, helping peers navigate the new curriculum framework, collecting student feedback, and organising academic events that bridge policy with practice.

To cultivate an inclusive, flexible, and research-driven academic environment at Bharati College — one that places students at the centre of learning and fully embodies the transformative objectives of the National Education Policy 2020 through institutional excellence and academic innovation.

To bridge the gap between policy and practice through purposeful academic initiatives that equip every student and faculty member with the clarity, skills, and confidence to thrive within the UGCF 2022 framework and contribute meaningfully to India's ongoing educational renaissance.

The NEP Saarthi initiative aims to create awareness about the key principles and reforms introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 among students. It seeks to encourage and motivate students to actively participate in the implementation of NEP initiatives within their institutions, fostering a sense of responsibility towards academic reforms. Additionally, the programme establishes a structured feedback mechanism through which student perspectives, experiences, and concerns can be communicated to the University Grants Commission (UGC), thereby ensuring effective policy implementation and continuous improvement.

The initiatives undertaken by the NEP Saarthi team contributed to a greater level of awareness and understanding of NEP 2020 among students. Through consistent engagement in academic and awareness-based activities, students developed better clarity regarding their academic structure and the opportunities available to them. The programme further encouraged active participation in institutional initiatives, fostering a more aware and engaged student community. Overall, these efforts supported a positive academic environment by promoting informed learning, peer collaboration, and a stronger connection between students and the evolving education system.
