The commemoration of the third anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020 will took place on July 29, 2023. Over the course of the past three years, the National Education Policy of 2020 has made notable strides in its implementation and has achieved significant milestones. The National Education policy seeks to effect significant changes in the education system across all levels. The aforementioned initiatives encompass the implementation of a national policy aimed at fostering an educational environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship within schools. The primary objective is to cultivate a culture that encourages creativity, ideation, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial skills among students, regardless of their age. Additionally, the introduction of 75 “Bharatiya games” in schools, the initiation of the ‘Kalashala initiative’ in 750 schools to facilitate the exploration of India’s diverse cultural heritage, and the utilization of a public consultation survey to gather recommendations for the new National curriculum framework for schools are also noteworthy endeavours. Among the recently launched initiatives are 200 virtual labs and the Vidya Amrit Portal. The ministry has additionally declared the initiation of a public consultation survey available in 23 languages for NCF 2023 for school education and in April itself, the draft of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education has also come in the public domain.
