\u00a0Abstract<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India emphasizes skill enhancement through vocational education to bridge the gap between traditional education and the modern workforce. The policy aims to make vocational education an integral part of the mainstream education system, embracing a more hands-on, experiential form of knowledge acquisition. This research examines the core aspects of the NEP 2020, focusing on the enhancement of skills through vocational education. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the transformative potential of vocational education under the NEP 2020, explores challenges during implementation, and suggests viable solutions. This research serves as a practical roadmap for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders involved in reshaping India’s educational landscape.<\/span><\/p>
