As the youth population of India is going to be highest in the world over the next decade, it is a challenging task to provide high-quality education to determine the future of our country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333399;\"><br \/>\nThe New National Education Policy (NEP) was approved by the Union Cabinet on 29th July 2020 and it is the first such policy in the last 34 years. By the passage of more than three decades many significant changes have taken place in our country, society, economy, and the world at large. At this juncture the education sector needs to gear itself to meet the demands of the people and the country in 21st century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333399;\"><br \/>\nThe National Education Policy 2020 proposes the revision and revamping of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to create a new system that is aligned with the aspirational goals of education, while building upon India\u2019s traditions and value systems. The New Education Policy aims at an inclusive, participatory and holistic approach, however particularly emphasising on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop the \u2018Foundational Capacities\u2019 of Literacy and Numeracy and \u2018High-Order Cognitive Capacities\u2019, such as critical thinking and problem solving and also Social, Ethical, and Emotional Capacities and Dispositions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333399;\"><br \/>\nThe world is undergoing rapid changes in the knowledge landscape. With various dramatic, scientific and technological advances, such as the rise of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, many unskilled jobs worldwide may be taken over by machines, while the need for a skilled workforce, in conjunction with multidisciplinary abilities across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, will be increasingly in greater demand. The growing emergence of epidemics and pandemics will also call for collaborative research in infectious disease management and development of vaccines and the resultant social issues heightens the need for multidisciplinary learning. There will be a growing demand for humanities and art, as India moves towards becoming a developed country as well as among the three largest economies in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333399;\"><br \/>\nThe gap between the current state of learning outcomes and what is required must be bridged through undertaking major reforms that bring the highest quality, equity, and integrity into the system, from early childhood care and education through higher education.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 sep-underline sep-solid fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#e0dede;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:15px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;color:#333399;\"><strong>SUB-THEMES<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_2 fusion-builder-column-3 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first 1_2\"  style='margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;'><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\"><div class=\"fusion-text\"><ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;
