It is well known fact that education is the key driver of economic and social progress since ages. Education is concerned with methods of teaching and learning in formal set up like schools, colleges or Universities. If educated, one can become better citizens, can get a better-paid job, can recognize the difference between good and bad. The Government therefore bring forward education policy. It works on to bring a well-defined, visionary and futuristic education policy taking into account the prevailing traditions and culture. Recently Government of India announced its New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), which aimed at transforming our nation sustainably into an equitable and vibrant global knowledge society. NEP 2020 provides for quality education through multidisciplinary universities, autonomous colleges and schools. This is indeed a welcome step, which will bring about a paradigm shift in India's education system and will transform it into a modern, progressive, and equitable one. The success of any education policy depends on the competencies of a teacher as teachers are the backbone of an education system. The way the teachers do their teaching has a seminal influence on what the students learn. The role of the teachers and their competency in transactional processes of educational curriculum remain crucial to an effective outcome of learning. This research article aimed at to know whether faculty are aware of the new policy. The questionnaire has five parts – Awareness of NEP, understanding of NEP, Implementation of NEP, Benefits of NEP and teaching competencies of faculties for the success of NEP. The data from a sample of 92 respondents from Karimnagar and Jagtial are collected using convenient sampling method and analyzed using SPSS 26 version. The results revealed that moderate teaching competencies are there.
