In a circular, the country's higher education institutions were informed that the National Education Policy has given importance to the promotion of Indian heritage and culture.

In order to attract foreign students, educational institutions should introduce courses in various subjects like universal human values, Vedic mathematics, yoga, Ayurveda, Sanskrit, Indian languages, music, and classical dance based on Indian heritage and culture.

Along with different genres of music, dance artists, terracotta, Madhubani, clay artists, and bamboo-cane artisans have been identified and they have been asked to stay on the campus of the higher education institution.
