NEP 2020 has helped transform the Indian education system

The whole educational psyche of Indian society is under a transitional process from rote learning to conceptual understanding and analytical thinking. This has been possible only because of the effective implementation of NEP 2020.

NEP 2020 has inspired Indian education, Indian society, parents and psyche enormously. Earlier, we thought education means to study, get degrees, have one or the other job and no specific skills and hands-on experience. So, we have created a big number of unemployed youths who were unable to deal with today’s challenges and tomorrows opportunities also. To `harness the opportunities of the futuristic world, we need to upskill our children to know the demands of the job market for the growing number of youths in our country. NEP 2020 can become a helping hand to enable the education sector, making it ready to accept the challenges and opportunities. We all know tomorrow is unpredictable. The landscape of health, the environment, the jobs, and skills have to be studied accordingly. We need to make our syllabus upgraded, totally change, or even collaborate with other domains of knowledge like science, technology, languages and social science. With a great vision, NEP 2020 intends to make India a makers’ hub. Modern syllabus, which is always collaborative and adaptive, create an educated force ready to use their head, heart, and hands. From class 7 itself, there will be a skill educated activity to inspire the young children toward the “work is worship” philosophy. We need to know one or the other life skills like communication, writing a request letter, attend a bank requisition, repair your own home gadgets, to know the driving, enable yourself to make the punctures, repair the tap, fix the electrical gadgets, to iron your own clothes, prepare your food, wash your dishes and to know the unmatchable power of Wi-Fi.
