In the 21st century, innovation and entrepreneurship are crucial for economic growth, social progress, and sustainability. NEP 2020 emphasizes nurturing creativity and critical thinking to foster innovation, aiming to develop problem-solvers who can drive national progress. Traditional education is insufficient in a rapidly changing world; institutions must focus on critical life skills like adaptability and digital literacy to prepare students for future challenges.
