Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a significant shift in India’s educational landscape, aiming to address long-standing disparities and create a more inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education system. This paper explores the key provisions of NEP 2020 and its implications for bridging regional, social, and gender gaps in Indian education. The policy emphasizes a holistic approach, incorporating multidisciplinary learning, foundational literacy, and digital education. It also focuses on enhancing teacher training, promoting social inclusion, and improving access to education in rural and marginalized areas. By aligning the education system with the needs of the 21st century, NEP 2020 has the potential to transform India’s education framework, ensuring that every student, irrespective of their socio-economic background, has the opportunity to thrive. However, successful implementation will require addressing infrastructure challenges, digital divides, and ensuring adequate resource allocation. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how NEP 2020 can serve as a tool to bridge the gaps in Indian education, fostering a more equitable and globally competitive system.
