Abstract

The present Government in a landmark decision on 29th of July 2020 announced the New Education Policy to energize the educational system of India. It covers all the aspects of human resources including elementary to higher education with a proper focus on technical education. The New policy aims at the cohesive and uniform development both in rural and Urban India to realize the new vision of ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat’. Although, the New Education Policy (NEP2020), as per its objectives, is quite ambitious and visionary and has the capacity the gear up the entire educational system of the country to open new vistas of future but its real success depends upon the seriousness and the level of resources available for its execution in totality. This paper attempts to identify the challenges in the proper implementation of NEP 2020 and finding its solution as well. The study uses secondary data from the various available sources. There is strong presumption of the Researcher that the challenges anticipated in the implementation of NEP2020, can be very well tackled if all the stakeholders in general and the Government in particular, shows its commitment to change their words into actions.
