NEP 2020 and Digital Transformation in Indian Education: Policy Achievements and Structural Constraints
Abstract: Digital transformation is positioned as a key component of educational reform in India by the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). By promoting blended learning models, virtual laboratories, online learning platforms, and technology-driven governance, the strategy aims to create an inclusive and future-ready educational system. This article critically examines the structural constraints and policy achievements impacting the digital transformation strategy under NEP 2020. Despite tremendous progress in modernizing institutions, e-learning tools, and digital infrastructure, there are still significant challenges. These include gaps in teacher preparedness, the digital divide between rural and urban areas, socioeconomic differences in connectivity and device availability, unequal state capability, and complicated regulations. The report states that for NEP 2020 to be successful in the long run, inclusive governance structures, cooperative federalism, and consistent public investment are required. Increasing institutional capacity and ensuring equitable digital access are necessary to translate policy vision into notable educational accomplishments.
