Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions  education as a process of holistic human development that  integrates intellectual growth with ethical values, emotional well being, creativity, cultural rootedness, and social responsibility.  This vision resonates deeply with Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy  of Nai Talim, which views education as an instrument of character  formation and community life rather than mere preparation for  employment. Despite the transformative intent of NEP 2020,  its implementation across higher education institutions has  often remained confined to curricular restructuring and formal  compliance mechanisms.
