India's New Education Policy: Impact and Challenges

Authors(1) :-Dr. Malti Verma

Education is concerned with the physical, intellectual, emotional, moral and economic development of an individual. Education is the cornerstone of nation development. No nation or society can develop without education. Education not only helps in providing employment to the people but is also making a commendable contribution in providing new thinking and direction to the people. The committee constituted under the chairmanship of Dr.K. Kasturirangan presented the new draft of the National Education Policy to the government on 31 May 2019. The government approved this education policy in the cabinet meeting on July 29, 2020. This is the third education policy in India after the year 1986 which came into force in India. The objective of the new education policy is to make India a global superpower in the educational sector and to provide fair opportunities for education all over India, so that the quality of the educational sector can be developed. The aim of the new education policy is to make children aware of the importance of quality of education along with technology and creativity in India.
