        abstract = {With its emphasis on transdisciplinary learning, flexibility, digital-first approaches, and lifelong learning, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a dramatic change in Indian higher education. The structural and philosophical changes in NEP have a direct impact on library and information science (LIS) education, which is situated at the intersection of information organization, access, and use. In order to prepare LIS graduates for roles in the twenty-first century, this study explores new developments in LIS education brought forth by the NEP age, evaluates opportunities and problems, and suggests institutional and curriculum solutions. Adoption of AI and data-driven services, interdisciplinary connections (data science, digital humanities), flexible credentialing and lifelong learning pathways, advocacy for open science and scholarly communication, digitization and digital preservation, increased emphasis on information and digital literacy, and vocational and practicum orientation are some of the major trends.},
