Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a landmark reform in India's educational landscape, aiming to overhaul the country's education system to improve quality, accessibility, and inclusivity. This paper explores the impact of NEP 2020 on Anganwadis, which are crucial components of India's early childhood care and education (ECCE) system. The paper analyzes how NEP 2020's directives and objectives influence Anganwadis, examines the challenges and opportunities arising from these changes, and assesses the policy’s potential for transforming early childhood education in India. The analysis is based on a review of existing literature, policy documents, and recent case studies.
