Abstract

The need to inculcate a multidisciplinary approach in education has been felt for quite some time now, but the basic idea has so far remained confined to theories and discussions. But lately, there has been an upsurge in its application in the classroom. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims at bringing about a multidisciplinary approach in education – firstly in schools and then eventually in colleges as well. Multidisciplinary education is a concept that has been embraced by the Indian government through the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This approach to learning looks at how different disciplines can interact and overlap with each other to create a comprehensive understanding of a subject. A multidisciplinary approach in education is often seen as the ideal way to tackle complex problems and will be essential for India’s continued success in the global economy. With the NEP 2020, India is well positioned to build on its current educational system and move towards a more multidisciplinary approach. This paper provides the modus operand how Holistic Multi-Disciplinary Education will be implemented at the grass root level in the light of NEP 2020 guidelines.
