National Education Policy (NEP) – 20 introduced by the BJP government h is a blueprint of Privatization, Commercialization, Centralization, Vocationalization and Communalization of education. In a fascist autocratic way the government is implementing the policy in various states and in various central institutions. To fight out NEP-20, AIDSO from very beginning is trying to build up mighty democratic student and mass movements against this.

State level online discussions were held in Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab etc. In Odisha, an online discussion on attack on University Autonomy was held. Many eminent educationists and thousands of students, and teachers took part in this campaign week throughout the country. AIDSO is pledge-bound to intensify the movement in the days to come.
