Abstract

The NEP (National Education Policy) 2020 is intended to radically change rural development through major educational reforms. At present, Indian education suffers from several problems including a serious shortage of physical schools, resources and teachers; and a general negative perception towards education. A further difficulty in addressing the problems that exist within Indian education relates specifically to the subject matter being taught. For instance, learning about the theory of chemistry cannot be effectively undertaken unless appropriate laboratories are available as part of the school system even though they do not yet exist throughout India. In order to change the current state of education in India both the construction of adequate physical facilities for regular schools as well as a concerted effort to educate all citizens on why it is important to educate oneself are necessary and the time has come now for the use of technology in place of the traditional method whereby students only learned passively via lecture at their teachers' teaching. Thus, according to the NEP 2020, it is necessary to develop skills that will be  of crucial importance to the youth in India over the next years and can only be developed through collaboration between federal and state governments in order to realize a productive future for the children of India.
