Understanding the New Education Policy 2024 (NEP): A Transformative Approach to Indian Education
A major transformation of the education system has been brought about by the introduction of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2024 by the Indian government. The last significant education policy was created in 1986 and changed again in 1992.

Context and Overview
The NEP was adopted by the Indian Union Cabinet in July 2020 with the intention of enhancing the country’s educational system from the primary to the university levels. India’s goal of becoming a “global knowledge superpower” is the foundation of this approach. The Ministry of Human Resource Development was renamed the Ministry of Education in 2020 to coincide with the implementation of NEP.

Pillars of NEP 2020
The principles of accessibility, equity, affordability, quality, and accountability form the basis of the NEP 2020. It seeks to integrate education with the 2020 Agenda for Sustainable Development by making it more multidisciplinary, adaptable, and holistic.

The Need for NEP 2020
Prior to NEP 2020, the Indian education system experienced a number of difficulties. The benefit of rote memorizing was prioritized over conceptual comprehension. Vocational skills were frequently overlooked in favor of conventional topics, and confusion was increased by the existence of multiple school boards using diverse teaching methodologies. By addressing these problems, the NEP closes the knowledge gap between formal and vocational education.
