The National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 in India emphasizes a comprehensive and multilingual learning experience, marking a paradigm shift in the national educational system. This paper addresses the influence of NEP 2020 on English language proficiency, which has become essential for professional and academic achievement in today's globalized world. This study investigates the approaches and initiatives offered by NEP 2020 to improve English language proficiency among students, taking into account the socio-cultural and economic considerations. The overall approach acknowledges the value of English as a means of success while promoting multilingualism through a flexible and diverse educational framework. Apart from that, it explores the potential impact of such measures on enhancing students' global competence, preparing them for a competitive and integrated world. This study investigates how the NEP 2020 and related educational reforms intend to boost global competence through better English language abilities. The study examines policy documents, curriculum modifications, and pedagogical practices to highlight significant initiatives such as multilingual education, interpersonal skills promotion, Assessment and Evaluation Reforms and the use of technology in language learning. It investigates how these reforms affect students' abilities to engage in global representations, gain access to international resources, and effectively participate in a globalized economy. The findings indicate that while NEP 2020 is an important step toward improving English proficiency, its successful implementation will be dependent on resolving issues like teacher preparation, resource allocation, and regional disparities in society.
