Transitions to Indian Education Policy in Higher Education

Abstract

Indian higher education has always been a centre of education policies for a long back. India was known as the centre for learning from ancient times and it has had many universities such as Nalanda, Vikramsheel and others that contributed significantly. Scholars from all over the world visited to study here. However, with the passing of time and the rulers from outside, these institutions were destroyed as a learning centre of higher education. Different educational policies were established to revive higher education from the British period to independent India. In this series of policy making, the recent one was the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The article has covered the analysis of major policies on higher education from the Radhakrishnan Commission to NEP 2020.
