The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is independent India’s third Education Policy after National Policy on Education (1968) and National Policy on Education (1986) Effectiveness of NEP-2020, must be assessed based on the extent to which it contributes to the Indian concept of education, to inclusion of marginalized and to realization of recently created legislation; Right to Education which was made a fundamental right by the 86th constitutional amendment 2002 by inserting Article 21A in the constitution under the Fundamental Rights. In any phase of historical development of society, the significance of education for a human being has been continuously increasing. However it varies at different levels because of influence of an assortment of factors related to the society, religion, gender, caste, economic and physical status.

Simultaneously, India also has the world’s largest number of out–of-school children (Chattopadhyay et al; 2009). Social Marginalization in Indian society leads to this problem.
