ABSTRACT
Indian Governments have been formulating our National Education Policies from time to time since independence according to the needs and to make suitable changes. NEP 2020 is considered a very important document in this regard which attempts to identify the challenges faced by our educational
system. Education has been expanding all over the world and India could not remain unaffected. The socio economic setup of India is quite distinct from other countries and we need an educational policy which is best suited to our own conditions. NEP 2020 has been drafted to meet the need for knowledge and skill and prepare the students for higher education in the area of a skill development. It also attempts to highlight the role of languages and linguistic diversity of India. This policy is primarily based on fundamentals of “Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability” and to make India a strong knowledge hub. It has the prime aim to impart holistic and multi-disciplinary
education to the students to cover the subjects such as art, music and sports along with their other syllabus.

Keywords: NEP 2020, National Education Policy (NEP 2020), Governance, Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, Accountability.
