      abstract = {India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 seeks to adapt the country's current educational system to the changing needs of the twenty-first century. From early childhood education to higher education and vocational training, the strategy proposes extensive reforms at every educational level. It highlights a flexible, multidisciplinary, and all-encompassing approach to education that incorporates technology, fosters critical thinking and creativity, and supports hands-on learning. In an effort to close the gaps caused by socioeconomic inequality, NEP 2020 also places a high priority on equity and inclusion. The policy envisions an adaptable, contemporary, and inclusive framework that fosters creativity, flexibility, and lifelong learning, with a heavy emphasis on learner-centric pedagogies and teacher empowerment. All things considered, NEP 2020 is a bold reform intended to revive India's educational system and give the next generation the knowledge and abilities required in a world that is changing quickly.},
