Preamble
The NEP-2020 is based on the principle that education must develop not only
cognitive capacities - both the ‘foundational capacities’ of literacy and numeracy and
‘higher-order’ cognitive capacities, such as critical thinking and problem solving – but
also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions. In a broader way, NEP
envisions an education system rooted in Indian ethos that contributes directly to
transforming India, that is Bharat, sustainably into an equitable and vibrant
knowledge society, by providing high-quality education to all, and thereby making
India a global knowledge superpower.

Policy Commission, headed by Prof. Sukhadev Thorat, the Former Chairman, UGC,
New Delhi and submitted an interim report of revised curriculum frame work to the
Government of Karnataka. The state Government has accepted the report and issued
the Order on 08-05-2024 to implement the revised curriculum frame work with effect
