Abstract: This paper explores the consequences of NEP 2020 for teacher-education, emphasizing the main features of the policy meant to improve the calibre and efficacy of educators. With a focus on changing teachereducation to meet the demands of the 21st century, NEP 2020 represents a significant turning point in the development of India’s educational system. It acknowledges teachers as the backbone of the system and their critical role in determining the future of both the country and its students. Programs for teacher-education are made to guarantee that educators are capable of providing high quality instruction and are motivated and well prepared. It also highlights the necessity of mentorship programs, in which seasoned educators assist and mentor new instructors, promoting a cooperative and encouraging work environment. Additionally, there is a need for teacher-education to be more equitable and inclusive. In order to ensure that instructors are able to address different needs of students, especially those from marginalized populations and those with disabilities, it calls for the implementation of special programs to prepare them for inclusive classrooms.
