        abstract = {The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a paradigm shift in India's education ecosystem, replacing the thirty-four-year-old National Policy on Education (1986). Built upon the foundational pillars of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability, the policy aims to transition India into a knowledge society. This paper analyses five key transformational reforms introduced by the NEP 2020, focusing on the new school curricular structure, multidisciplinary integration, prioritization of foundational learning, overhaul of higher education flexibility, and systemic reforms in assessment and teacher training. The policy’s success hinges on a flexible, learner-centric, and holistic approach designed to equip students with 21st-century skills.},
