Integration of Emerging Technologies in the Implementation of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020: Opportunities and Challenges

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a paradigm shift in India’s education system. With a focus on holistic, flexible, and multidisciplinary education, the NEP opens up pathways for integrating advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Blockchain, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and Learning Analytics. This research examines how these technologies can support NEP's objectives, enhance learning outcomes, bridge accessibility gaps, and improve governance. Through a comprehensive literature review, empirical findings, and policy analysis, the paper presents opportunities, challenges, and strategic recommendations for effective NEP implementation using digital innovation.
