Abstract:

There is a direction in our Indian constitution with respect to Article 45 in Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP), were it states that there has to be equal accessible for education by all. Since the Education is in Concurrent list the state has to follow the instruction of the Centre but it is not as mandatory. Now the primary education for the children under the age to 6 to 14 years has become the fundamental right under article 21A. The National Education Policy has made many new interventions in education such as , Mid-day meal scheme, Sarva Siksha Abiyan, Navodaya Vidyalas, Kendriya Vidyalayas, etc. This National Education policy focuses on bringing changes in the traditional schooling pattern in school as well as in higher education. The National Education Policy 2020 has been approved by the union cabinet headed by PM Shri. Narendra Modi. Hence replacing the Old National Education Policy which is 34 years old in order to gain globally competitive. The policy is well framed with 5 major key areas such as accessibility, equality, quality, affordability and accountability. The United Nations Sustainable Development 2030 Agenda has set a benchmark for the National Education Policy. The National Education Policy has the motto of changing the Indian educational system into globally competitive educational system with required flexibility. The multi-disciplinary aspect of the National Educational Policy will become a stepping stone for enhancing the abilities of the students.

Keywords: Sarva Siksha Abiyan, Navodaya Vidyalas, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP).
