Abstract

The whole development scenario of the country is directly dependent upon quality education which helps in developing the required knowledge and skills among the masses and improves the overall working quality of the nation. Implementing the National Education Policy 2020 successfully will help meet the challenges of quality education, innovation, and research and will contribute to making the country a knowledge superpower. National Education Policy 2020 is built on access, equity, quality, and accountability's foundational pillars. NEP expects to change the educational landscape of the country by preparing the youth of the country to meet the various present and future challenges. Educational language policy- variously referred to as language education policy, language-in-education policy, and language policy in education refers to a focus on the educational context within language policy and planning research, but might also include informal education activities and socialization in homes and communities. This work is focused on how language policy creation, interpretation, and appropriation in school’s impact educational processes and pedagogy with particular attention to opportunities for minority and indigenous language users. Educational language policies have been defined as official and unofficial policies that are developed across various layers, even though language policies affect the form, function, usage, or acquisition of language more generally. The National Education Policy 2020 proposes the early implementation of a three-language formula to promote multilingualism at the school level. The present study is to find out why and how far the National Education Policy 2020 was necessary to prepare. How the education policy is an important initiative towards ensuring the all-round development of Indian society. The language issues in the document and how multilingualism and the power of the language of the NEP document can play a vital role in the holistic development of the students from primary to higher education.
