The National Education Policy 2020 is a fantastic move by the Indian government to transform the educational system. The aim to make higher education more multidisciplinary and comprehensive like making curriculum more adaptable, developing e-courses in regional languages, and introducing skill-development course are appreciated. However, the policy does not specifically mention intellectual property, innovation, and entrepreneurship—key elements of transferring higher education institution into a research and innovation focussed institution, which is the need of the hour. The current study looked at the role of intellectual property, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship and made some recommendations on how to integrate them into academic curricula so that NEP's goals can be met fully and faster.

Abstract


The National Education Policy 2020 is a fantastic move by the Indian government to transform the educational system. The aim to make higher education more multidisciplinary and comprehensive like making curriculum more adaptable, developing e-courses in regional languages, and introducing skill-development course are appreciated. However, the policy does not specifically mention intellectual property, innovation, and entrepreneurship—key elements of transferring higher education institution into a research and innovation focussed institution, which is the need of the hour. The current study looked at the role of intellectual property, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship and made some recommendations on how to integrate them into academic curricula so that NEP's goals can be met fully and faster.
