In this respect, the NEP 2020 has aligned with Gandhi’s vision in that development is Gandhian when it is full bod DEVELOPMENT. It stresses on:
-Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE): From 3-6 years of age, the early years, NEP also put superordinate on learning foundation to build up the body, mind and spirit.
-Multilingualism: While Gandhi insisted that mother tongue instruction preserves and strengthens cultural frameworks, it improves self-esteem.
-Experiential Learning: The focus of NEP on activity based learning, freedom exploration inquiry, creativity and critical thinking shows us that Gandhian also favoured pragmatic education.
-Vocational Training: If the vocational training could be put side-by-side with the academics then the student himself would be ready to face the world as the Gandhiji wanted the people of India to be self-employed and skilled.
Focus on Values: NEP has focused on ethical standards, social purposes and environmental concern another principal of Gandhi’s vision.
Thus, the NEP 2020 attempts to go beyond the mechanical process of cramming and make an effort to realize the desired formation of the product for which Mahatma Gandhi desired; a well-rounded individual.
