Dr. Vanita Kumari Soni Snigdha Chowdhari
Abstract:
The greatest democracy in the world is working to ensure that its youth have access to a strong university system. With the goal of providing everyone with a quality higher education and the expectation of holistic and research-oriented advancement, the National Education Policy, 2020 is a forward-thinking and futuristic plan that has both good and bad points. Education contributes to social and economic development, making a clear and long-term education strategy essential for any nation at the university level. This study looks at how the New Education Strategy, 2020 has affected faculty members’ work-life balance in Indian higher education. Low employability and student flight to foreign universities are results of India’s higher education system’s poor performance. Higher education in India needs a specific strategy for faculty empowerment, autonomy, and decentralization if it wants to compete on a global scale. It also needs a willingness to increase skill and hierarchy.
