“Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.

”
- Confucius

It would not be imprecise to confirm that the above stated quote justifies the inventiveness
behind the idea of education policy. The education policy of India, also known as New
Education Policy is a comprehensive framework to guide the development of education of
the country. First formulated in 1968 under the chairmanship of DS Kothari, NEP 2020 is
India’s third education policy. From opening of opportunities globally for Indian students to
breaking the 10+2 structure into 5+3+3+4 design, the policy thrusts upon “experimental
learning and critical thinking”. Other major inclusions are merging of all higher education
regulators like UGC and AICTE and multidisciplinary curriculum in all colleges and
universities. As education is a concurrent subject, the reforms proposed will be
collaboratively implemented by the Centre and states. It is undeniable that such enormous
reforms require synergetic efforts and resources for profitable results due to which the
target year for complete implementation of NEP 2020 is 2040. In an ultrarapid progressive
world, education strategies must be renovated. The idea behind NEP 2020 is to prepare
students to flourish globally by improvising the curriculum. The holistic multidisciplinary
system of education will lead to self-reliance and awareness towards environment,
community and culture heritage in nation’s future stakeholders. Though the subject of
assessments is still underrated in NEP 2020, but rote learning as an approach in education
must be erased and its application is harder than it sounds. India aims brilliance and as a
diverse nation of uncountable cultures, it denies to give up the importance of its roots while
climbing the stairs of success. Hence, New Education Policy 2020 is ambitious, objective and
inclusive in nature.
