will promote both acceptance and increased due diligence. The UGC-CARE is a very good beginning
towards protecting the high standards of academics, research, and ethics.

Finally, to validate the cardinal importance of etching ethics through UGC-CARE and NEP 2020,
we look at the words of the incomparable and deeply respected Swami Vivekananda, “The work of
the ethics has been, and will be in the future, not the destruction of variation and the establishment
of sameness in the external world, which is impossible, for it would mean death and annihilation
— but to recognize the unity in spite of all these variations, to recognize the God within, in spite of
everything that frightens us, to recognize that infinite strength as the property of everyone in spite
of all apparent weakness, and to recognize the eternal, infinite, essential purity of the soul in spite
of everything to the contrary which appears on the surface. This we have to recognize. Taking one
side alone, one half only of the position, is dangerous and liable to lead to quarrels. We must take the
whole thing as it is, stand on it as our basis and work it out in every part of our lives, as individuals
and as unit members of society.”
