Abstract: There have been tremendous shifts in many important areas of society throughout the past few decades, and education is only one of them. The Indian Union Cabinet gave its approval to the National Education Policy (NEP) on July 28, 2020. It guides the country’s educational reform initiatives and is comprehensive and far-reaching. The first education policy of the new century addresses the rising tide of worry about the pace of economic development in our nation. There has to be a complete overhaul of the educational system, including all of its governing and regulatory components, if it is to realise its ambitious goals in the contemporary day. Equal access to high-quality educational opportunities should be extended to all individuals, whatever their gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or any other legally protected characteristic. Many key players need to work together for this to materialise. The field of public education is seeing a sea shift with this development. With the change from chalkboards to whiteboards and from reading printed texts to digital ones, the study delves into the fundamental changes in the current system, both pedagogically and structurally, and how policies can help students improve their digital literacy. In addition, the article discusses possible problems that can arise during implementation and suggests ways to fix them.
