National Education Policy 2020: Empowering Teacher Education

The Government of India released the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) in July 2020, 34 years after the last national policy was released in 1986. Momentous and essential changes in the education system is proposed in NEP 2020, which is rooting and getting operationalised in the country, including Teacher Education. This paper discusses reflection on the steps suggested by NEP 2020 to improve the quality of Teacher Education and the reforms considered necessary as per the futuristic need. It also talks about how to equip the future teachers with transforming Teaching Learning process with innovative pedagogy. As it is known that research and development has very vast effect on the growth of any country, NEP 2020 focuses on research in the field of educational psychology, philosophy, sociology etc. with integration of science and technology. It also advocates the designing of National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCFTE). Nep 2020 emphases on the multidisciplinary inputs, and education in high-quality content as well as pedagogy. This paper also focuses on how the Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) will be implemented in multidisciplinary institutions and universities and how this ITEP, the 4-year Bachelor's Degree Integrated Teacher Education Program in different stream will, enhance the quality of teachers in the education system. It is also discussed in the paper that how Nep 2020 also focuses on improving high quality of research with the help of financial assistance in the field of Teacher Education.

Correlation and Path Analysis for Yield Determing Traits in Sabita/Sambamahsuri Derivatives of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes

The present investigation carried out to study the character association and path analysis in twenty three recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of Sabita/Sambamahsuri derivatives and four check varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Character association of the yield attributing traits revealed significantly positive association of grain yield per plant with number of panicles per plant (genotypic), panicle weight, panicle length, number of florets per panicle, number of grains per panicle, kernel breadth and harvest index. Hence, selection for these traits can improve yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that ten characters viz. days to maturity, panicle length, number of primary branches per panicle, number of florets per panicle, number of grains per panicle, fertility percentage, grain length, kernel breadth, kernel Length/Breadth (L/B) ratio and harvest index had positive direct effect on yield.
