Abstract

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a transformative shift in the Indian education system, advocating a multidisciplinary approach to foster holistic development and adaptability among students. This study explores the theoretical underpinnings of this approach, drawing from established educational philosophies, such as constructivism, pragmatism, humanism, and interdisciplinary learning. Utilizing authentic sources and secondary data, this study examines how NEP 2020 aligns with global best practices and their implications for higher education, skill development, and employment. The analysis highlights the cognitive, social, and professional benefits of integrating multiple disciplines and demonstrates how such an approach enhances critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and innovation. The study also identified key challenges in implementation, such as curriculum restructuring, faculty preparedness, and resource allocation. This paper concludes with strategic recommendations to effectively integrate multidisciplinary education within the NEP 2020 framework, ensuring its long-term success in reshaping the educational landscape.
