Hyderabad: B Vinod Kumar, vice-chairman, State Planning Commission, said on Sunday that the onus was on the Centre to allay fears of several States on the National Education Policy (NEP), while launching the national level edu X at Hitex, Madhapur.

He said in the implementation of NEP, it is the responsibility of the Centre to give clarity on the policy.

He directed the Central and State governments to declare 2022-23 as the year to cover the learning loss.
