Abstract

 My research paper provides a critical evaluation of the National Education Policy 2020. It is very important for having a
well outlined and innovative education policy at all levels of schools, colleges and universities which gives a betterment
in social and economic context. According to customs and heritage, many countries acquire various education systems and
also acquire various stages in their life cycle to make it fruitful in all schools and colleges education level. On 29
July 2020, The Government of India released a national education policy under a committee chaired by Dr. K. Kasturi
Rangan. He was also a former chairman of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). In June 2017, the committee
was constituted and on 31 May 2019, the committee submitted its report. The findings mainly highlight the potential
benefits of the policy, including promoting inclusivity, digital liter skill development, and holistic student development.
However, the evaluation also reveals challenge implementation, such as infrastructural constraints, equity gaps, resistance
to change and the need for capacity building. By identifying these strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, this research
contributes to the understanding of the national education policy 2020 and provides policy recommendations for effective
implementation.
