NEP 2020: Salient Features

The National Education Policy 2020 envisions an education system rooted in Indian ethos that contributes directly to transforming India, that is Bharat, sustainably into an equitable and vibrant knowledge society, by providing high-quality education to all, thereby making India a global knowledge superpower.

Mission

The policy envisages that the curriculum and pedagogy of our institutions must develop among the students a deep sense of respect towards the Fundamental Duties and Constitutional values, bonding with one's country, and aconscious awareness of one's roles and responsibilities in a changing world.

Vision

The vision of the policy is to instill among the learners a deeprooted pride in being Indian, not only in thought, but also in spirit, intellect, and deeds, as well as to develop knowledge, skills, values, and dispositions that support responsible commitment to human rights, sustainable development and living, and global well-being, thereby creating a truly global citizen.

The overall objective of NEP 2020 is the establishment of Quality Universities and Colleges: A New and Forwardlooking Vision for India's Higher Education System.

Effective Governance

The implementation of NEP 2020 would entail some challenges, which the state government and other stakeholders would need to overcome collaboratively.

Student Counseling

According to the NEP 2020, students willing to complete their graduation have to study for four years while they can complete their diploma degree in two years. This might encourage students to leave the degree course midway. However, this may be overcome through effective communication and counseling to students on relative importance of diploma and degree programs.

For Standalone Colleges

One of the major challenges in the implementation of NEP 2020 would be with regards to de-affiliation of standalone colleges. Many of the colleges have been able to admit students because they were affiliated to well-known government universities.
