In this book "Evolution of Educational Policies in India" we embark on a journey through time to explore how India's National Education Policies (NEPs) have shaped the country's educational landscape. Our exploration spans over five decades, during which India witnessed social, economic, and technological changes that significantly impacted its education system. From the ambitious vision of the NEP 1968 that aimed to propel India into the ranks of advanced nations, to the paradigm shift brought about by NEP 1986, emphasizing access, equity, and quality, we delve into the intentions, outcomes, and challenges posed by these policies. The vocational focus of NEP 1992, aligning education with India's emerging economic landscape, and the holistic approach of NEP 2020, envisioning a modern and multidisciplinary education system, are also under our analytical lens.
