ABSTRACT

India has created NEP 2020, its first educational strategy for the twenty-first century, with sensible academic goals. In one approach, NEP 2020 aims to improve the educational system; in another, it seeks to advance national growth while upholding constitutional requirements. Fundamental literacy and numeracy (FLN) are a challenge for NEP 2020. To meet SDG4's global objective of guaranteeing comprehensive education and encouraging opportunities for lifelong learning, an educational goal must be achieved by 2030. This paper aim is to evaluate how the educational system has changed in light of its intellectual and philosophical ties to ancient, pre-British, and independent India.

The paper’s primary objective is to note the aims of the policy education of India from ancient times to contemporary situation and also to explore in field of education from the time of the Vedas and Upanishads till its implications on Sustainable development Goals (Padhega Indian tabhi Aage badhega India). We will also see how Western and India Philosophy played a crucial role in making the New Education Policy, how several thinkers' exemplary knowledge was incorporated and reflected in the policy, and, finally, a comparative analysis.
