Abstract
India's history is marked by social stratification, with the caste system limiting education for marginalized communities. NEP 2020 emerges as a groundbreaking effort to rectify historical inequities. Framed collaboratively, it introduces a '5+3+3+4' model, emphasizing early education and technology integration. The policy prioritizes foundational literacy, aligning with global initiatives, and embraces multilingualism for inclusivity. The current chapter, drawing on Rawls and Sen's theories, seeks distributive justice and enhanced capabilities. Using case study modeling, the work further aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of NEP 2020, contributing insights for an equitable and inclusive education system.
