Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India aims to transform higher education by focusing on holistic, multidisciplinary learning, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and innovation. The policy advocates for large, multidisciplinary universities and promoting collaboration across disciplines. It emphasizes inclusive education, supporting underrepresented groups, bridging gender gaps, and expanding access to quality learning resources. The policy also integrates technology, ensuring digital equity and modernizing teaching methodologies. It focuses on ethical and moral values, preparing students to become socially conscious global citizens. The policy's success depends on effective implementation, robust teacher training, and continuous evaluation, ensuring its vision translates into meaningful societal transformation.
