TITLE : LIBRARIES IN THE NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020: A CONTENT-BASED EXPLORATION

ABSTRACT: An innovative vision for the role of libraries in accomplishing 21st-century educational goals is presented in India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.  To investigate how libraries are positioned as key components for advancing literacy, encouraging lifelong learning, bolstering digital inclusion, and protecting cultural diversity, this study conducts a content analysis of the policy.  Libraries are intended to be vibrant, welcoming community places essential to educational transformation, not just places to store books. The research thoroughly explains how libraries may promote equitable and complete learning for all age groups by highlighting important policy issues, including digital access, multilingualism, foundational literacy, and community participation.

KEYWORDS: National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Role of Libraries, Function of Libraries as per NEP 2020.
