GLOBALISATION AND NEP 2020: A STEP TOWARDS INTERNATIONALIZATION OF INDIAN EDUCATION

Globalisation has significantly influenced education systems worldwide, promoting cross-border collaborations, research advancements, knowledge exchange and international mobility. In this context, India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduces a visionary roadmap to align Indian education with global standards. This study explores how NEP 2020 facilitates the internationalization of Indian higher education through multidisciplinary learning, research excellence, digital integration, and global partnerships. It also examines key challenges such as regulatory barriers, infrastructure development, and affordability in achieving these goals. Based on secondary data analysis, this research highlights the potential of NEP 2020 to position India as a global education hub while preserving its cultural and academic heritage. The study concludes that while NEP 2020 lays a strong foundation, continuous policy refinements and strategic investments are essential for effective implementation and long-term global competitiveness.
