"The National Education Policy (NEP-2020) has the objective of making students globally employable by imparting skills to them. Along with this, government departments are also being encouraged to be in constant touch with entrepreneurs unlike in earlier years," Narayan stated.

"Earlier there used to be a tendency to blame entrepreneurs for all the evils of society. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed this mindset.
