The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a comprehensive reform initiative designed to transform the Indian education system. The policy emphasizes the transition from rote memorization to competency-based, skill-oriented and multidisciplinary learning. This study examines structural reforms, pedagogical innovations and institutional changes introduced in NEP 2020 including vocational integration, technology-enabled learning and flexible higher education systems. Skill-oriented learning is increasingly important for improving employability, innovation and lifelong learning competencies among students. The study concludes that NEP 2020 has strong transformative potential but requires effective implementation strategies, teacher training, infrastructure development and digital connectivity.
