Author(s): Dr. Gargi Bhardwaj

Abstract:

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a transformative shift in India’s education system, with technology serving as a key enabler in achieving its objectives. In the realm of higher education, NEP 2020 emphasizes the integration of digital tools, online platforms, and emerging technologies to enhance accessibility, equity, and quality. This paper explores how technology is reshaping higher education through initiatives such as virtual classrooms, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based learning systems, and the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF). It also examines the policy's focus on blended learning models, capacity building for educators, and inclusive digital infrastructure. The analysis highlights both the opportunities and challenges of implementing technology-driven reforms in higher education, underscoring the need for strategic investments, digital literacy, and robust governance to ensure effective execution.
