Prof. Hemant Verma, Vice-Chancellor of SGT University, shares how this national platform, held on July 25 at the SGT campus in Gurugram, offers more than conversation. It brings together top policymakers, scholars, and institutional leaders to reflect on five years of NEP 2020 and co-create the roadmap for 2025–2030. From exploring autonomy in academics to discussing STEM, skill alignment, civic consciousness, and indigenous knowledge systems, the conclave features parallel tracks, stakeholder roundtables, and a landmark book launch. Prof. Verma highlights the opportunities this forum creates for academic innovation, policy impact, and institutional collaboration, making it a high-stakes dialogue for all education stakeholders.<br /><br />A huge multi-acre campus on the outskirts of Gurugram, flush with greenery and seemingly endless to the eyes, SGT University is often regarded as one of the best private universities in Delhi and Haryana. The Creativity of Arts, The Stability of Commerce, or The Inquiry of Science; whatever it is you search for, you will get it here. From our NVIDIA-powered high-speed computers to a 3600 sq.ft. shooting floor, or the sui generis NRSC facility, our focus is not actually to keep you in, but to get you out into the world, ready to take it on. Our perspective on education and teaching is molded in line with the needs and wants of the industry you want to be in.<br /><br />The challenging task of establishing a multi-disciplinary educational institution began with the establishment of SGT Dental College in 2002. The two decades since have seen us grow leaps and bounds, with five academic blocks and a multi-specialty hospital with more than 800 beds, taking us closer to our ambition to nurture future change-makers. At the heart of SGT University’s curriculum lies a commitment to train students to adapt to the rapidly changing demands of today’s knowledge economy. We strive to deliver higher education that is on par with international standards across our 19 faculties by fusing academic rigor with practical experience. Our approach to teaching focuses on creating an engaging learning environment that meets the individual needs of each student. By focusing on practical applications and critical thinking, we prepare students for real-world challenges. Evaluation is based on a holistic approach, encompassing regular assessments, projects, and practical exams, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of their progress. Our goal is to strive for continuous improvement in our learners and educators.<br />
