The education system in India, from primary to higher studies, has been accredited to the one that was introduced by Lord Macaulay during the British colonial period, which the country has not been able to replace even after six decades of independence. It has been a kind of imposed system that still introduces instructional methods initiated as a large-scale education system aimed at creating a workforce which could adapt to the then status quo of being aptly educated to help run the instructional teaching system introduced by the colonist Britishers which aimed to turn locally sourced human resources into extended helping hands of the rule in controlling the country as one of their colonies. The New Education Policy (NEP) introduced by the Union Cabinet of India in July 2020 has been looked upon with a hope for incorporating an immense transformation in the Education System of India. However, these changes would not become a reality overnight with a limited approach in understanding the actual roles of education systems in relation to context, learning, culture, diversity and cognition. This paper, like multiple ongoing efforts to outline methods for implementation of the New Education Policy, looks forward to exploring newer scopes of learning and discussing introduction of a few newer and creative ways and methods from design can contribute to exemplify its application with the example introducing learning on colour for children during the primary education stage. The paper mainly aims to get attention on colour as a holistic phenomenon, for its connect to human, environment and design spaces and recommends considering innovation at its core, design methods can be one of the key verticals of NEP’s ‘Universal Foundational Literacy and Numeracy’(UFLN) besides reading, writing and arithmetic for all primary schools
