Many attempts have been made in the form of Radhakrishnan commission, Kothari Commission, NEP 1968, NPE 1986 ,Reforms1992 etc. but still the country has not achieved the goal of equitable society and burden free learning.

This paper discusses the need for new policy, highlights of NEP and challenges in its implementation. It also suggests some ways for better implementation of NEP2020.
