Authors

Abstract
India's National Education Policy 2020
represents the most significant overhaul of the country's education framework
in over three decades. This research paper examines the transformative impact
of NEP 2020 on higher education, analyzing its structural reforms,
implementation strategies, and the challenges that lie ahead. Through
comprehensive examination of policy documents, recent scholarship, and early
implementation data, this study reveals that while NEP 2020 introduces
visionary reforms—including multidisciplinary education, flexible curricula,
and enhanced research infrastructure—its success hinges on addressing
persistent challenges such as funding constraints, faculty development needs,
and regional disparities. The paper argues that NEP 2020's ambitious vision of
increasing the Gross Enrollment Ratio to 50 % by 2035 and transforming India
into a global education hub requires sustained investment, strategic execution,
and collaborative efforts among all stakeholders.
