Post-independence, several major educational policies in India shaped the landscape, notably the National Policy on Education (NPE)universal access and retention. The Right to Education Act in 2009 emphasized free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14. Moreover, the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan focused on secondary education. The recent NEP 2020 aims for a holistic and multidisciplinary education system promoting skill development. These initiatives demonstrate a commitment to improving educational quality and equity across the nation.
