The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 of India emphasizes the significant role of technology in transforming the educational landscape. This research paper explores the integration and use of technology in education as per NEP 2020, focusing on its directives, potential impacts, challenges, and recommendations. The study employs a qualitative research design, including literature reviews, policy analysis, interviews with educators and policymakers, and case studies of successful technology integration. Key directives such as the establishment of the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), the Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA), and the use of AI for personalized learning are examined. Potential impacts on educational practices include enhanced accessibility, improved teaching and learning, continuous professional development for teachers, and data-driven decision-making. However, challenges such as the digital divide, lack of teacher training, inadequate infrastructure, cybersecurity, and privacy concerns must be addressed. The paper provides recommendations to overcome these challenges, aiming to ensure inclusive, equitable, and effective implementation of technology in education.
