The Impact of NEP 2020 on Human Resource Development Strategies in Indian Educational Institutions

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a transformative step in reshaping India's educational landscape, with significant implications for human resource development (HRD) strategies within educational institutions. This research examines the impact of NEP 2020 on HRD strategies, focusing on curriculum development, teacher training, skill enhancement programs, and institutional leadership. The policy emphasizes a shift from rote learning to holistic, multidisciplinary education, necessitating updated HR strategies to support capacity building, professional development, and the integration of digital learning tools. The study evaluates challenges and opportunities for educators and administrators in aligning with the policy’s objectives and highlights best practices for effective implementation. The findings underscore NEP 2020’s potential to create a workforce ready for the global economy, emphasizing the importance of adaptive HR strategies that foster innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability in Indian educational institutions.
