Abstract : Achieving a high standard of education is essential for every nation's development, and education policy is one strategy for doing so. A major overhaul of India's educational system is being sought after by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 programme. Everyone should have access to high-quality education, which will position India as a global leader in terms of economic development, social fairness and equality, scientific advancement, national fusion, and cultural preservation (NEP 2020). NEP 2020 has introduced on 29 July 2020 it replaced the NEP 1986. The Mahamana’s vision and vision of NEP is in line with the fourth goal of the United Nation Sustainable Development goals which ensures equitable and quality education and promote lifelong opportunity for all. Though NEP 2020 has impacted both school education and higher education equally, this paper focuses on the fourth sustainable development goal. This paper's major emphasis is on the present tactics used in India's education system for contextualising SDG 4 and including NEP 2020. The fourth SDG's performance in India is also examined, as is the trend of higher education in India.
