The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) represents one of India’s most ambitious educational reforms since independence, aligning directly with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047—a developed, equitable, and knowledge-driven India. This research paper synthesizes insights from major scholarly works published between 2020 and 2025 to critically examine how NEP2020 contributes to India’s developmental aspirations. Using a qualitative meta-analysis of existing literature, the study explores NEP2020’sfocus on foundational learning, equity, teacher education, skill development, and multidisciplinary curriculumreforms. It alsohighlightsthe policy’s potential to transform human capital, bridge socio-economic disparities, and reshape India’s workforce for the21st century.The paper identifies key implementation challenges, including resource gaps, teacher shortages, digital divides, and administrative constraints, and proposes policy recommendations for realizing NEP 2020’s full potential. The study concludes that achieving Viksit Bharat by 2047 is feasible only through consistent, well-funded, and inclusive implementation of NEP 2020 across national and state levels.
