Abstract
NEP 2020 aims to make India’s education system modern, holistic and world-class by integrating it with ancient Indian knowledge traditions. It presents ancient educational institutions like Taxila, Nalanda, Vikramshila, Valbhi as models of multidisciplinary and attracting global students. These institutions gave birth to great scholars like Charaka, Sushruta, Aryabhata, Panini, who contributed to mathematics, medicine, astronomy and yoga. The Indian education system has been world famous since the Vedic period. Indian culture has considered education as the fundamental element of life. In the modern era, India has implemented the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP-20200) showing a new direction in the field of education, which is trying to revive not only modern educational methods but also Vedic and ancient education methods. This research paper discusses the impact of the valuable elements of the ancient education system in NEP-2020 and its use, effects and its basic principles in the modern era. Along with this, suggestions for the future are also given by analyzing the current situation.
