        abstract = {The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a landmark reform in India’s educational landscape, aiming to transform learning experiences by promoting inclusivity, critical thinking, flexibility, and holistic development. Assam, like other Indian states, has initiated steps to align its school curriculum with the key recommendations of NEP 2020. This paper examines the status of curriculum reforms in Nagaon district of Assam, highlighting the extent of implementation, institutional readiness, and challenges faced by stakeholders. Using a case study approach, data were drawn from policy documents, field observations, and stakeholder interactions. The study reveals that while efforts are being made to integrate competency-based learning, mother-tongue instruction at the primary level, and skill-oriented subjects, issues such as teacher preparedness, infrastructural limitations, and lack of awareness among rural communities continue to hinder smooth implementation. The findings suggest that stronger capacity-building programs, localized curriculum design, and continuous monitoring are necessary to achieve the envisioned goals of NEP 2020 in Assam.},
