The Government of India would like to bring out a National Education Policy to meet the changing dynamics of the population's requirement with regards to quality education, innovation and research, aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by equipping its students with the necessary skills and knowledge and to eliminate the shortage of manpower in science, technology, academics and industry. Education is closely linked to development. It enlightens people especially in this modern world. It brings about the transmission and acquisition of skills, abilities and
We suggest the following areas for the betterment of our national education policy. Here we are not limiting only to the areas to which the MHRD has sought suggestions. We are suggesting points for a holistic education for all, with value based competence and participation in Nation building. Therefore, we highlight the points above and give detailed explanation to each one below. Hope this exercise from JEA, and CBCI, which educates millions of Indian in their educational institutions will help the Government to prepare a better education Policy for the nation’s future. Highlights of the Suggestions • Providing Quality and holistic education for all. • Accountability and responsibility in education structure. • Give autonomy to schools; allow more autonomous education boards by those who have been in the forefront in Education. • Value education and probity in Public life without going religion specific. • Amend RTE Act to provide education for 0 to 14 of age, & all promotion till class 3 • Diversity, Inclusiveness and Constitutional values to be upheld. • Divergent and critical thinking has to be encouraged than convergent thinking. • Make Teachers training and updating mandatory as we prepare people for Civil Service.

To achieve economic and social growth, the nation must have an explicit and futuristic education policy at schools and colleges. Tradition and culture play major roles in adopting the education system for any country. Recently, the Indian Government declared a New Education Policy (NEP) based on the suggestions of an expert panel headed by the former chairman of ISRO. In this paper, new policies regarding the new education system are discussed along with their merits and future effects. Some suggestions are proposed in this paper regarding NEP 2020 for its effective implementation towards achieving its goals in the minimum possible time. In the end role of NEP 2020 towards achieving Atmanirbhar Bharat is discussed.

WAYS TO IMPROVE THE INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM2017 •
The number of institutions and enrollment in higher education continue their rapid growth, but the quality of this education remains uncertain. A small number of state subsidized institutions attract a thin top layer of talent from each year's cohort. High selectivity of admission to these elite institutions provides a screen valued by potential employers. Domestic and foreign demand for the services of these few thousand students has created an inflated reputation of the overall quality of India's higher education. The number of such graduates remains small relative to the population and the demands of India's economy for educated manpower. Reliable estimates of value-added by higher education, beyond the screening value of admission to elite institutions, are needed to assess colleges and universities, and to guide educational policy. Graduate education the seed farm of higher education and scholarship continues in an alarming state of disarray with respect to both quality and quantity. Pressed by budgetary constraints, the government appears to have decided on profit-oriented privatization of higher education as the solution. Political and business classes, with significant overlap between the two, see higher education as a source of lucrative private returns on investment. There is little theoretical or empirical evidence that supports the prospects of success of a for-profit model in building quality higher education. Some recent proposals hold promise of radical reform and renovation, including regulatory restructuring. It remains unclear whether the government has the wisdom, determination, financing, and power to push reforms past the resistance from entrenched faculty and from the political and business classes. It's absolutely true that the future and overall development of any country depends upon the fact that how educated its citizens are. Though, gaining a professional degree is not possible for everyone due to various reasons, but what actually matters is the basic education. That is, one should know how to read and how to write. India has shown significant improvement in education since 1947 until today. However, we believe that there is always some room for improvement in every field. So let us discuss 10 ways that can help us improve our education system. To strengthen the Indian Education System, an educational policy was adopted by the Indian Parliament in 1968. Education was made an important and integral part of the national development efforts. Our Government assumed full responsibility for the proper education of the children and adults. Hence, right to primary education or elementary education is now a fundamental right in India.
Future of any country/society is solely dependent on the system of education. Educated country/ society shall progress/develop and move on in all facets successfully. I"m not talking about the literacy rate, but the system of education. Hardly many can candidly distinguish between literate and educated. If I were to ask: Are you literate? Without any hesitation, the response would be "YES". While on the other, for this question: Are you "educated"? The answer would not be overwhelming and many tend to hesitate. Why is it so? Our system of education believes in imparting three Rs-reading-(w) riting-(a) rithmatic. Paulo Freire calls any education based on 3Rs is like "banking system (parrot type)-taught to repeat whatever "all knowing teacher" who thinks that his/her pupils do not know anything and so dump the things whatever he/she knows in such ways that the curricula/syllabi asks for. Hence, our system of education is geared towards examination/grade oriented and thus determines pupils on the basis of the grades secured. There are thousands and millions of postgraduate , PhD holders and engineers and doctors who are unemployed and working in some fields that are unrelated for paltry salaries. We have the highest rate of unemployed young people at present than ever before. Another glaring example is: "Make in India" did not takeoff because our system of education is not "innovation-propelled", rather "exam-oriented" and "grade-triggered". One common thread that weaves some of the prominent educationists such as Paulo Freire, John Dewey, Ivan Illich, Jiddu Krishnamurthy and Ken Gnanakkan is that "Education should be for life and ought to unfold about the learners and the things around them meaning"-integrated wherein parts by all means should belong to whole. Do not compartmentalize, but integrate. Instead, our system of education continues compartmentalize and fragment. Our educational system has never been premised on "problem posing"-rather straightaway look for answers without knowing how to solve the problem and therefore "Why" and "How" are absent in the thought process of the students. So, it fails to push the learners to get engaged in the action-reflection-action systematization and dynamic process but believes in providing ready-made answers by offering "guides". Entering or embarking "critical inquiry" and "critical application" has never been the tools of our educational system, rather "spoon-feeding" and "knowledge-dumping" happens to be the hallmark of our system of education. Therefore, there is dearth of super-skills and innovation know-how in our country. This is why, India has more semiskilled and unskilled people having many degrees added next to their names. Therefore, approaching education as a commodity shall certainly make those who run the institutions richer and richer because education is thus considered as a commodity and not as a tool arousing critical consciousness. The following short write ups raise a number of questions about our system of education. Certainly they are serious
