ABSTRACT: National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a framework designed to transform the education system in India which is based on the recommendations by an expert committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Kasturirangan, Former Chairman of ISRO. NEP 2020 encourage interdisciplinary education as well as motivate the students to enhance their abilities in different fields. NEP proposes a bold change of India’s education system, with the goal of ensuring that all students have access to high-quality education. It also aims to improve the system’s equity and inclusiveness. It provides students a pool of various courses like Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC), Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC), Value added Courses (VAC) and Multidisciplinary Courses (MDC). While the NEP seeks to address a variety of concerns in the education sector, rural institutions confront unique hurdles in adopting and implementing it.
