NEP 2020: An Effort Towards Transforming Technical Education in India

Abstract

One of the most significant requirements of any developing country is education. India is also among the nations that focus largely on education since it has the 33rd position in the world regarding educational system as of 2020. Since education results in economic and social development, a school-level and college-level education plan of the country should be clear and progressive. To render it effective, different countries have various education systems that reflect their cultural and traditional significance at various phases of their life structure within the school and college education levels. An alternative education plan initiated by the Indian government has been on the basis of recommendations by an expert committee headed by Dr. Kasturirangan, the former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). To meet the demands of a modern society, which is fast-paced, knowledge-based, the NEP 2020 provides a structure of the reform of all the technology and engineering education in India. The paper will exhaust the views and execution of NEP in qualitative change in technical and engineering training. Another critical aspect also talked about in this conceptual paper as the connection between industry and higher education institutions as a source of innovation and research in the technical area; the application of technology to diffuse the disconnection between technical education and the other fields are but a few of NEP, 2020 views.
