According to NEP 2020, which of the following will not be the function of National Educational Technology Forum (NETF) ?
To provide grants for setting up educational technology centers in central government institutions
Concept tested: The mandate and functions of the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), an autonomous body proposed by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to promote technology in education.
NEP 2020 conceived the NETF as a platform for the free exchange of ideas on how technology can enhance learning, assessment, planning and administration in schools and higher education. It is essentially an advisory, knowledge-sharing and thought-leadership body. Its genuine functions include: envisioning strategic thrust areas in educational technology (setting the direction the sector should prioritise), building intellectual and institutional capacities in educational technology (strengthening people and organisations working in the field), and articulating new directions for research and innovation in educational technology (guiding future research). All three of these are authentic NETF functions.
Why the other options are the true functions (and thus not the answer): Envisioning strategic thrust areas, building intellectual and institutional capacities, and articulating new directions for research and innovation are all explicitly advisory or capacity-building roles that fit the NETF's remit.
Why the credited option is correct: Providing grants for setting up educational technology centres in central government institutions is a funding and grant-disbursing activity. The NETF is not a financing agency and has no such disbursal power; distributing grants for infrastructure lies entirely outside its advisory role. Hence this is the one thing the NETF will not do.
Takeaway: The NETF advises, envisions and builds capacity, but it does not fund or disburse grants.
Correct answer: To provide grants for setting up educational technology centers in central government institutions.
