Holistic learning and value-based education is what the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has to bring changes into the Indian education system. Given importance to the academic, moral, social, and emotional development of a student, the policy seeks to convert the students into responsible ethical citizens, who would be contributors of healthy strings to society. The paper is basically on understanding how value education can achieve this vision and the inclusion of value education into the curriculum, pedagogical strategies, and assessment systems. Now analyzing the key principles as mentioned in NEP 2020 such as multidisciplinary learning, and social-emotional learning (SEL) and ethical decision-making, the paper advocates performance of these components for a full-blown perspective in education. The paper also contains a discourse about the specific faces that would be encountered practically in putting into practice value-based education: readiness among teachers, design of the curriculum, and models of assessment alongside the approaches of policy recommendations to overcome these challenges. The study argues that successful incorporation of value education may demand a partnering approach among educators, policymakers, institutions, and communities. NEP 2020 is a new paradigm shift from education not just about knowledge but rather building character and citizenship. Innovative approaches such as technology-driven learning, experiential education, and community involvement can make it possible to raise a generation of ethical, socially responsible, and compassionate leaders through NEP 2020.
