Abstract:The new National Education Policy is a welcome improvement at a time when children's health, happiness, and immunity are becoming increasingly important due to the pandemic. The new NEP has a number of crucial components that are essential for a child's overall growth. The NEP accepts sports as being as vital to other subjects like English or Science by doing away with the strict division between academic and extracurricular activities, hence improving the Fun and Engagement that students so badly desire in a school. Children can grow physically, cognitively, and socially via play. Additionally, we have discovered that play has a favorable impact on attendance rates, classroom behavior, and academic results.Additionally, assessment-specific reforms like the creation of the National Assessment Center and monitoring a child's progress based on learning outcomes are fantastic efforts since they concentrate on a child's whole development by concentrating on their learning progress. In order to ensure that all children experience the enchantment of play and sport, as well as to create a country of healthier and fitter children through the educational system, we anticipate that sports and play will be taught and evaluated with the same rigor and structure as key academic subjects. Children's holistic development is greatly aided by the focus on vocational education, and it is our desire that students will be able to select physical activity and sports as a vocational topic.This will shed light on the whole Indian educational system because it is a complete foundation for both basic and higher education.
