A child’s future depends on the form of education he/she receives. “Education begins at home”, there is no truer sentence, but the education a child acquires at school is just as important to mold the lifestyle of the child. Their career, psyche, mentality, connection with society depends on the education received at school. And a well-defined and well-planned education policy helps for the growth of a nation’s economy and social position. Based on the culture, tradition, and societal view, a country adopts an education policy. And with the growth observed in our country’s most valued possession, the intellectual youth, the adoption of a new education policy seems to be a progressive thought. This paper concentrates on highlighting the innovations and new adaptions in NEP 2020 along with its comparison with the existing policy, merits, implications, and improvements.
