The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is presented as a landmark reform in Indian education, aiming for a comprehensive transformation that aligns with 21st-century aspirations while deeply rooted in India's rich philosophical traditions. This paper analyzes the profound impact and alignment of prominent Indian educational philosophers, including Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, J. Krishnamurti, and Savitribai Phule, on the core tenets of NEP 2020. Key areas of convergence include the policy's emphasis on holistic development, experiential learning, value-based education, multilingualism, critical thinking, teacher empowerment, equity, and the explicit integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). The report concludes that NEP 2020 embodies a conscious synthesis of traditional Indian wisdom and contemporary educational needs, aspiring to foster a generation that is not only globally competent but also ethically grounded and culturally aware, despite facing significant implementation challenges.
