The evolution of Indian Educational Policies from the Kothari Commission (1964-66) to the New Education Policy 2020 has significantly impacted Higher Education in the country. This article highlights the transformative journey of these policies in the context of Higher Education. The Kothari Commission marked a pivotal moment in Indian education by emphasizing the need for comprehensive educational reform. Its focus on equity, quality, and access paved the way for expansion of Higher Education Institutions and the establishment of central universities. However, limitations in its implementation led to persistent challenges in addressing regional disparities and employability. Subsequent policies in the late twentieth century, such as the National Policy on Education (1986) and the Program of Action (1992), aimed to address issues of curriculum relevance and resource allocation in Higher Education. While they introduced measures for vocationalisation and quality enhancement, their impact remained limited due to a lack of systematic execution.
