Interdisciplinary Studies: Issues, Perspectives, and Challenges From National Education Program 2020

Abstract

The Government of India's latest endeavor in the field of public policy, the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), has revolutionized the higher education sector, particularly in Indian universities and technical institutions. By 2050, the policy will have set high standards for all higher education institutions, including breaking up linguistic silos (delivering instruction in multiple regional languages), internationalizing higher education, improving the quality of education and lowering rankings through accreditation standards, and raising the gross enrollment ratio (GER) in higher education institutions. The administration and academic council of every university and institution have established various wings within this range of operations, such as the internal quality assurance cell (IQAC) and the international relations department to facilitate memorandum of undertakings with highly acclaimed institutions to foster student and faculty exchange program for cross exchange of ideas and knowledge and other wings like Centre for Curriculum Development (COCD).
