The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions a transformative shift in India’s education system, emphasizing holistic, multidisciplinary, and flexible learning. This research explores innovations in teaching, learning, evaluation, and research that align with the principles of NEP 2020. It examines pedagogical advancements, including experiential learning, digital integration, competency-based education, and interdisciplinary approaches. The study also highlights modern assessment methods, such as formative assessments, open-book exams, and skill-based evaluations, ensuring a shift from rote learning to conceptual understanding.
Furthermore, the research investigates technology-driven innovations, including AI-based adaptive learning, gamification, and blended learning models that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. The role of action research and evidence-based practices in fostering innovation among educators is also analyzed. By integrating insights from global best practices and indigenous educational traditions, this study presents a holistic framework for implementing innovative strategies in teaching, learning, evaluation, and research.
The findings contribute to bridging the gap between policy and practice, offering recommendations for educators, policymakers, and institutions to effectively implement NEP 2020's vision for a learner-centric and future-ready education system.
