Hence, the Government of India has changed the way we study by introducing “New Education Policy – 2020”. It will bring foundational change in the education system and will bring innovative changes that will meet global requirement of qualified individuals. The success of the policy depends on the cooperation and awareness amongst all the stakeholders who are going to be affected by the change.
