ABOUT THE SEMINAR:

The goal of the program Viksit Bharat @2047 is to transform India into a developed nation tio by 2047. Effective transformation of the Education system is a primary goal of this project. The New Education Policy 2020 is considered as the first step to achieving India's educational development goals by 2047 in redesigning education system starting from the primary schooling to higher education institutions.

Further, the NEP 2020 is set to profoundly reshape professional education, more particularly the legal education in India by prioritizing multi-disciplinary learning, skill development, and ethical considerations. This transformative approach aims to cultivate a new generation of legal professionals equipped for an inclusive, equitable and sustainable future. NEP 2020 plays a fundamental role in India's journey toward becoming a "Viksit Bharat" by 2047, aligning closely with the SDGS 2030. Confirming to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4, the policy lays down the ground for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future by focusing on quality education, digital learning, gender equality, economic growth, and sustainability. In this seminar, an attempt is made to critically examine NEP2020 by establishing an alignment with SDG 2030 and examining the execution plan of Viksit Bharat 2047.
